Really? When? They’ve cancelled the 5:30 reruns, but I don’t see 'em at 7:30. Screw it–I’m just gonna have to stop watching it altogether. ---

It was on at 7:30 tonight for me, Eastern Time. I think I liked 7:00 better, but either one’s much nicer than 5:30. ---

Dammit. I like Conan (which now apparently runs at the awkward time of 6:30-&:30). And watch TDS at 11, when it’s nice and fresh. Sucks to be on the other side. ---

My Mom’s _TV Guide_ and my _NYT_ TV page still says Conan’s on at 7:00 and _The Daily Show_’s on at 5:30, but my Mom told me last night that she got _SNL_ at 5:30, and neither of us bothered checking at 7:30 . . . Odd, and annoying. I’ll check both 5:30 and 7:30 tonight and see what’s up. I will be very happy (well, as happy as I ever _get_) if it returns to 7:30. ---

Eve – You might check the online tv listings - [TV Guide](http://www.tvguide.com), [Zap2It](http://www.zap2it.com), and so on - to confirm. ---

I’ll be damned–it _was_ on at 7:30! Thanks for the tip, I never would have known. (“Thank those lovely Message Board people for me, too,” says my Mom, who got her Jon Stewart fix as well.) ---

> [@Alphagene](#): > > Philistine. > > CC is to comedy what MTV is to music. CC really could be doing a lot more to introduce the audience new comedians rather than constantly reminding us that all of Cheri O’Teri’s characters are basically the same nodding hyperkinetic twit. Possibly CC and MTV seem similar because the same company (Viacom) owns both of them. Then again, I can’t name 5 channels I watch with out Viacom owning at least one of them. Nick (and its spin offs), Noggin, Tvland, Vh1(and its spin offs), CC, MTV(and its spin offs), Spike, CBS, and those I dont watch… BET, CMT, oh, Im sure I missed some, but you get the point. [http://www.viacom.com/online.tin](http://www.viacom.com/online.tin) and you can see for yourself. ---
