I can’t stand it anymore!!! I turn off the regular channels to the premium channels that my family pays for only to find HBO playing
A) a good movie that I havent seen lately (rare)
B) the same good movie as mentioned in A, but I saw it earlier today or perhaps yesterday.
C) Some crappy, little known film which are all stupid
Someone shoot the HBO head of scheduling!
Hasn’t HBO been doing this since the 80s?
Showing the same ‘headliner’ flick over and over and over and over and over and over again. Throw in some random filler then lots of T and A after 11pm?
There ya go. Shoot someone instead of registering your displeasure by changing services. Or writing a letter.
Asshole.
No, that’s Skinemax.
No its HBO too, trust me.
You keep up this anti-Second Amendment rights activism, Uncle Beer, you’re going to have to answer to Moses!
Re: the OP: You guys need to get digital cable. 12 screens of HBO, 10 screens of Showtime, 12, screens of Starz, and 8 screens each of Encore and Cinemax, not to mention AMC and TCM.
You don;t know bad. For a good 2 years back in the late 1980’s, no matter what time of day or night I turned on TBS, the movie “The Final Countdown” was on. Nice enough movie. tells a halfway decent, if utterly unbelievable story. But it was on TBSall the fucking time. My firend actually kept track for 3 months over the summer----it was shown 78 times.78 TIMES!!!
I can remember when TBS was so short of programming they’d rerun the Braves games at like 2:00 a.m. Somedays I wish they hadn’t stopped doing that.
And speaking of the same show being on all the time, when did fx become The MAS*H Channel?
Cast Away seems like it’s on all the time now.
All 42 screens showing the same ‘headliner’ flick over and over and over and over and over and over again. Throw in some random filler then lots of T and A after 11pm? [Apologies to CRorex]
gasp Is our very own Uncle Beer turning to the GUN CONTROL crowd? I don’t believe it!
ducks and runs
Now, now, now be fair to FX—it’s also the Buffy Channel.
Though what makes me sad about HBO is that it used to have a lot more T&A–that’s why I got it when I bought cable again! Now we have the occasional Real Sex and Taxi Confessions, but that’s about it. 
I’m going to have to pay for the extra Skinemax I see.
I watched Virtuousity about 6 times when it was doing it’s tun on HBO or Cinemax or whatever. If you like a movie well enough, it’s not a bad “feature” that they keep replaying it.
I have to concur with Eternal. I’m one of those weird people that can watch a movie twice in the same day and not care. It’s kinda cool being able to do so without renting or paying for it.
This thread reminds me of the fact that AMC seems to show Force 10 from Navarone every other week. Not that I mind, really. I like that film.
But not that much.
