Air Date: 3/15/06 (WEDNESDAY)
Time Slot: 8:00 PM-9:00 PM EST on FOX
Dude, that is the stupidest way to list a time. Way to make me think it was 9pm.
Later it says "episode of BONES airing Wednesday, March 15 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX," which is clearer I suppose.
I'm so used to hearing stuff like "nine, eight Central" that I just assume the later time is the Eastern time. Yeah yeah, assumptions are bad. (And in fact I usually actually check tvguide.com/listings somewhat compulsively to make sure I have it right.) Still miffed. I made it home in 10 minutes, rock on. And it's not like I was dying to see this or anything; I mean, it would have felt a touch like overkill to actually bother taping it (esp. since I'm having company these coming weekends) but since I thought I'd be home for it. Okay, this is me moving on now.
