To clarify: Those are the currently scheduled start times. Anticipate
that if you set your DVR according to this schedule, you'll not record
the end of those shows.

I still like The Good Wife, although they certainly have plenty of
lousy episodes. It's not like Ian would watch it.

Huh? It's a 5 hour block repeated 5 times in a row to make a 25 hour
marathon. The "4 repeats" follow the first run. :)

I couldn't see how they could do that, when I looked it up [before
asking]. Now I've looked again, and see that these "episodes" are 20-30
mins. long, not 60. DUH! :)

Thanks!

Your DVR is sort of correct. TBS will begin airing the episodes at 1
per week on January 25th...but it will be the second season of the series.

The intro to the series suggested that the live host show will feature
call in commentary from viewers fielded by cast members of the
show...so, filler programming to pad out the extra time. I suppose it
would be wrong of me to call in and try to talk to Jere Burns about
JUSTIFIED, but I cannot see any other reason to call as ANGIE TRIBECA is
horrible.

I thought I'd read that here somewhere. If so, my DVR is *really*
wrong, because the Guide information says s1e1 "Pilot" will be shown on
Mon 25 Jan at 900p ET, with a repeat three hours later.

Yep...the DVR is wrong (as is thefutoncritic), at least according to the
TBS press release claims that it will be season #2 that is aired on the
weekly basis starting Jan 25th. Of course, now that I've seen a few
moments of the show, I have to wonder if TBS will keep to that plan.

Interesting question. Maybe someone that watched the whole thing (if
any such person exists) can let us know if the 'live show' was repeating
as well or if they are keeping the cast manning the phones for 25
straight hours to fill the rerun cycles with new 'live' footage as well.

I just flicked it on, with an ep ending at the 18 minutes after the hour
mark, although it occurs to me that I have no idea how I'd know if this
segment is new without comparing it to to another segment 5 hours from
now. There's some remarkably unfunny and poorly animated segment. Now
there's some remarkably unfunny black guy and a cheap-ass plug for
Dunkin Donuts coffee.
And ... now here's a commercial. For a different show on TVLand.
And ... here's a commercial for a local business, OASIS furniture going
out of business sale.
So much for 'commercial free' by any standards.
Now the black guy is back, interviewing a mentally ill pet psychic,
who's also fat and ugly, and he introduces her as being attractive.
Now at 23 minutes after the hour they seem to be starting another
episode.
This isn't the worst show I've ever seen, but it may well be a close
second.

Yep. With all those episodes running nose to tail with undefined
start/end times someone would have to watch it all live or set up a 5
hour recording block.

Are you sure you aren't watching BORDERTOWN?

The automobile product placements complete with an onscreen popup
website over and over in the first few minutes of the pilot were worse
than commercial interruptions.

So what ranked #1?

[Dimensional Traveler]

That was probably supposed to be part of the "spoof" aspect.

I think Crisley may be it.

I thought of her, but that's not actually a show.

Yep...over the top annoying product placement callout as a way to spoof
product placements. It was yet another joke that fell flat. Instead,
they should have had the cops driving around in Studabakers or some such
and left the joke aspect to those that would get the product placement
spoof without any onscreen popup.

...but, but...doesn't he know best?

[Dimensional Traveler]

This IS a Steve Carell (aka Will Ferretface Jr.) production starring
someone known for being in an Amy Poehler vehicle. "Subtle" is not a
concept to expect here.

As I found out, when I came across it and tried to watch one episode. I
don't know which episode, but I didn't make it to the end. I'm sorry I
wasted everyone's time looking for it ... at a later time. :-[

How was this? Is it like Brooklyn 99? I'd watch it if it is.

No. It's absolutely terrible, like a bad SNL sketch.

It's 11:59 and 59 seconds. ~consul happened in rec.arts.tv today:

A lot of the humorless people in this newsgroup are crapping on it, but it's
actually quite funny. It's like Airplane! and Naked Gun with some Sledge
Hammer thrown in.

I concur with that review. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE is silly, but it still
tries to tell a story. ANGIE TRIBECA is just a long, lame skit.
