1. repeats this week

I think every month includes one week of repeats.

2. Yeah, I noticed that.

I thought I was just missing the more recent episodes. I don't know.

3. new shows give the date at the shows open!

repeats dont announce the date, thats how you can tell if they are repeats.

I wish TDS would display the shows original AIR date to put the reporting into perspective but I think comedy central doesn't want to loose viewers on repeat days.

I hope this helps!

cheers!

4. Jon's the backbone of Comedy Central.........................

and being such, his contract now contains many more perks than before such as , MUCH more vacation, pay, stock options etc. etc. etc.

He's earned it. If we have to put up with a week of repeats..........I wish they'd find a substitute host for those weeks, but that's probably part of his contract as well. Nobody gets a chance to horn in on his territory.

6. No, he is the backbone of the US News Media Corps!

8. Not to mention...

It must be challenging to put up a half hour show with new and timely material day after day. The writers must have some time off to recharge otherwise it would jump the shark.
I don't mind the reruns, albeit some of the time off comes at the worst time.

5. God bless him

and the puppets that make prank phone calls as his intro. . . I'm out of the country this week and he is pretty much the only reason to come back.
