Instead of the Daily Show and Colbert on Comedy Central at 7pm EST, they are showing 30 Rock. Can some tell me if this is temporary (please God, let it be temporary)?
The Daily Show and Colbert will be on Comedy Central at 5PM Central.
How long, I cannot say.
I have no interest in 30 Rock, as anything from network & popular must be dull as shit.
I don’t know, but I hope it’s temporary. The shows weren’t on last night, because they were rerunning the Sheen Roast, so there weren’t new episodes available to replay today.
They are normally on at 6 pm central time.
I am aware of this. 
They’ve moved it to an hour earlier. It used to be on at 7 Pacific, now it’s on at six. I had the same moment of panic as the OP.
This is *most *vexing. 7:00 Eastern Time was perfect for me: right after the local and national news. I don’t have TiVo or a DVR, and I am sure as hell not staying up to see the first-run show, so this will be the end of The Daily Show for me.
I don’t know if this has also changed, but all four weekly episodes were shown as a block on Saturdays.
And all the recent episodes are online at thedailyshow.com or comedycentral.com.
I’m not a hipster!
This well and truly sucks. In order to give the big coastal markets the 6PM slot, was it necessary to screw us in Central with 5 PM, so everybody with a job misses it? Thanks. The regular time is too late to watch regularly and still get enough sleep and now the rebroadcast plays while everybody is at work or commuting. There is no technical reason that any show can’t be broadcast on cable at the same local time everywhere in the country. It’s time to end the ludicrous time zone-based time slots.
Yeah, this pretty much means I can’t watch the shows. I’m usually home by 6:30 by the time I walk the dog it’s all over.
If you have a decent internet connection, the full episodes are on the comedy central website.
If you get the HD package for cable, new eps of TDS is on channel 760 (for Comcast) at an early hour, like 7pm or so as I recall.
Well, yeah, I could find pretty much *anything *online if I want to sit at my computer (which I do all day at work) and go searching. I guess in a few years *nothing *will actually be broadcast on TVs anymore, but I will be blessedly dead by then.
I am just not interested in The Daily Show enough to go chasing around after it whistling hopefully. If they are not going to run it at a reasonable time, feh, I’ll do fine without it.
You don’t have to search for it, it’s right on ComedyCentral.com. Click on full episodes, click on daily show and the most recent episode starts playing automatically. If you have adblock, you can watch it commercial free. The player is kind of wonky, though.
It’s also available on Comcast’s On-Demand feature. I imagine other cable companies have similar things.
This isn’t worth starting a new thread and TDS fans are here, so can someone tell me what was up on 9/21 with the Mitch Daniels interview? Two interruptions in the interview, black screens with “Five Minutes Later” and “Seven Minutes Later”. There was obviously some editing, but why? Daniels wasn’t hostile, just awkward.
Daily Show has been letting interviews go long, editing them, and posting the full interview on line.
Every day, when I get home, no matter when I get home, I go to the Hulu page and load up the previous night’s episode. No chasing necessary.
Granted, it helps that I find sitting at my computer more comfortable than sitting in front of the TV.
Stewbeef goes to great lengths to make sure that he’s not accused of taking his own guests out-of-context through creative editing, in particular someone as high up on the Republican totem pole as Daniels.
Something similar happened to him when he appeared with Chris Wallace on Fox News a few months ago, where, without explanation in the broadcast version, he seems to wildly shift moods, but the full online version showed him to be less polarizing. I’m guessing that could be why the screens with the times on them were there to explain why the tone of the conversation might have changed so much between cuts.
