Angry Third Watch / Without A Trace fans - Important News!

Yes Folks,

Our once-great terrestrial Channel 4, has ballsed-up again! Now home to numerous junk shows like "How Clean Is Your House", "You Are What You Eat" and "Butt Blubber 5", Channel 4 are playing around with two of the few intelligent adult shows left on their decrepit station!

"Third Watch" Season 4, which starts this week, is being pulled after just 2 episodes, despite previous promises from C4 that we would get a complete, continuous run of the entire season! It's being replaced by repeats of repeats of repeats of double-billed repeats of repeats of "Friends"! The fourth season will now return with Episode 3, sometime in September! This has been officially confirmed on the Channel 4 wesbite, on their forum! And, as you might expect, "Third Watch" fans are not pleased!

Then, to make matters worse, "Without A Trace" (Season 1) is being repeated!

But before you cheer, it's being repeated on weekday lunchtimes, between 1:30pm-3:15pm, in double-bills, with episodes being censored or missed-out completely (because of unsuitable adult content)!

We do get to see the "Pilot Episode" on Monday 19th July at 1:30pm, but we don't get to see Episode 2! According to the C4 website forum, "four episodes are unsuitable for daytime transmission (Eps 2, 5, 11 and 21 for fans in the know). However, we plan to show all the other episodes in order, including the previously untransmitted pilot episode and episode 17."

What they don't mention, is the fact that several of these epsiodes that DO get shown, will still be edited for adult content, and to remove unsuitable material!

Duh! Thanks a lot, Channel 4, you stupid !
