Bizarre program scheduling.

Anyone know the reasoning behind VMs scheduling of programs like Star Trek Next Gen and DS9?

Last friday saw the last, cliff-hanger, episode of series 5 at the end of a run on V1 mon-fri evenings. However, this week saw the same slot filled with STNG series 1! Additionally DS9 series 1 has just started mon-fri in the afternoon, also on V1. VM are also showing another series of DS9 at on sat and sun afternoons on V1.

What on earth is that all about? Can't someone at VM come up with a sensible way to show the hundreds of ST shows they have on their books? I have this crazy idea that we could maybe have them in chronological order - does that sound so far fetched? At the very least, is there any way I can find out when DS9 series 6 will start so I don't forget to V+ it?

Another issue is that VM do not distinguish between seasons in their program descriptions so you have to manually go into the information for each episode, look at the plot and then go online to figure out if it is part of the season you want to watch. Sometimes the name of the episode is included in the info section, sometimes not.

It all seems very haphazard to me, and is a little annoying.

Moan over.
