Is your favorite show a rerun this week?

Posted under Entertainment, Tools

Rerun CheckWhen I was growing up, it seemed like t.v. shows ran all new episodes from September to May. These days, however, it seems like you can’t go an month without having a rerun. Last week after watching Law and Order SVU, the commentator indicated there would be no new episodes until January! Really? House was a rerun last week and apparently is this week. Holidays, sports, presidential news casts all conspire to ruin regular programming.

If you’re like me and get upset when you sit down to watch your favorite show only to discover you just saw it a few weeks back, you can now use Rerun Check to find out if your show will be a new episode or a rerun. You can even request an email or subscribe to the RSS fees to you can be notified whenever a new episode is going to run.
