Anyone else hate it when on of your favorite shows gets preempted because of sports?
Sometimes, I sit down to watch, f.ex, 24, after a long workday, ready for some enjoyment before bed, eager to see what happens after last weeks cliffhanger and what do I get?
Football (soccer).
I've waited a week and I get football!
I hate preempting. Advanced warning or not.

Not hating on the sport. For the fans of it, I understand they like it... BUT..
I loathe it when NASCAR pre-empts ANYTHING.

I always hated when Futurama was pre-empted for sometimes the NFL recap show.

Yup. Ironically enough, it's usually Raw or Smackdown due to The Score running some kind of sports coverage.

Before I got a good computer it pissed me off when LOST would be moved to early in the morning because my local ABC station wants to show ACC basketball. Now I just watch anything that's preempted on-line

It can go either way. If it's something I follow, I'd much prefer to watch the game to whatever tv show I had planned on watching. However, re-caps, post-game shows and sporting events/teams that don't interest me can go smurf themselves.

When Raw was on Fox Sports here it used to be preempted all the time.
I swear sometimes it wouldn't even finish the episode.

Putting a show in the preempting slot is basically the sign that the network doesn't give a f*** about the show anymore.
Because by putting it at that time slot and then allowing it to be preempted, the ratings will take a hit. It was the reason Futurama died and is now killing King of the Hill....

Or pre-empting for news coverage. This is how the Dark Shadows Revival series was cancelled in 1991. Because NBC would break-in for Gulf War coverage (come on CNN had the monopoly on that) and they'd move their shows around in the schedules without informing viewers what day and time they could watch the series.
So with all this confusion and not knowing where to view the series, it was cancelled ANYWAYS and ended on a cliffhanger that would never be resolved. An extreme shame cause it was a great series and had tons of potential and promise.
F*** YOU, NBC!!!

Back in 2000 my area did not have UPN but Smackdown would usually show in the afternoon on Saturdays on FOX, but sometimes they had to show a stupid WSU game or some crap.

The big battle scene in the first airing of The Phoenix Saga Part 5 got cut off by a news report about the Cardinal going into surgery. Of this I was most pissed.

Every day around the time of the disney animated lineup, it was replaced in order to show the damn OJ trial.

I was watching my TV one night when they broke in with a special report
About some devastating earthquake in Peru
There were thirty thousand crushed to death, even more were buried alive
On the Richter scale it measured 8.2
And I said, "God, please answer me one question?"
"Why'd they have to interrupt 'The Simpsons just for this?"
What a drag, 'cause I was taping it and everything
And now I'll have to wait for the rerun to see the part of the show I missed
