why are they running the episodes out of order. the first episode each day should be the second and vise versa. what's going on

With the shows being out of order, it is really confusing to watch! Especially on the two parters, like today, when Bud lost part of his leg. It was strange seeing Bud lying on the ground after the explosion and then the next show had him with both legs! I hope they can switch them around soon!

I noticed this out-of-sequence broadcasting a few days ago, but today's showings inspired me to register my complaint. Does anyone know if USA programming pays any attention to these postings?

This has been going on for the past couple weeks. I saw that part 2 to Bud losing his leg will be tomorrow (3-13-08) the 2nd show. Yes, it is hard trying to keep up with the shows. Sure wish USA would get it all straightened out & soon!!

At this point "they" probably won't straighten March out. But April, as currently scheduled, is ALMOST in correct order.
April 14 at 7:00 am is Ep #204, Apr 14 at 8:00 am jumps to #207, and Apr 15 7:00 picks up with #205. I can't figure
out why it is so difficult for the person scheduling the episodes to simply go down the list and show in correct order!!

Then on Apr 24 Ep #221 "Straights of Malacca" is shown at 8:00 am and is listed again Apr 24 at 3:00 am. I'm confused.

At least on the 30th the whole series begins again with Pilot ! and Pilot 2 -- I was afraid when the last ep of S-10 "Fair Winds and Following Seas" was shown, it might be the last time JAG is shown by USA. And that will be a sad day for this fan.

I noticed this a few days ago, but it was really glaring this morning, with 'The Promised Land' and 'Critical Condition' airing in reverse. I sent off an email immediately telling them that JAG episodes must be shown in the proper order due to continuing storylines from episode to episode. Let your voices be heard!

i already did that before i posted. if everyone does the same we might get some action

Read the whole "March schedule" thread. As I said there:

The whole problem derives from when they suddenly changed the times at which JAG is aired from 6 AM and 7 AM - which it had been doing only since January - back to 7 AM and 8 AM (like it used to be for years, up to December), in March. It all must have to do with replacing Coach - which used to run at 6;00 and 6:30 AM, before JAG, with Becker. They made a big fuss i January with introducing Becker on Jan. 1. After a Becker Marathon, they must have wanted to draw some attention to it by showing it at the "civilized" time of 8:00 and 8:30, which they did during January and February, pushing JAG back to 6 and 7.

Suddenly, at short notice - and after setting the sequence - they put Becker back to 6:00 and 6:30, when Coach used to run - and switched JAG back to 7 and 8. But some idiot just left the 7:00 AM episodes where they were, and move the shows originally scheduled for 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. That's what put everything out of sequence for March.

Since they switched the times (back) to 7 and 8 AM, in March, the 8 AM show (which was originally scheduled to be shown at 6 AM) every day is the episode that *precedes* the one just shown at 7 AM. Except for 2-part episodes referred to as Part 1 and Part 2 (see the Episode Guides available), which are shown the right way around (March 26, 27, 28). So if you have a DVR, tape the shows and watch the 8 AM episode before the 7 AM episode.

They evidently did the 6 AM to 8 AM switch at short notice, after the sequence was set, and did not take the trouble to straighten it out. Stupid.

The April schedule is now available. From April 1, everything is the right way round again, in sequence. (Actually, because of the 2-part episodes shown in correct order starting March 26, it straightens out then, aside from one more bad day on March 31 before it's all fixed for good on April 1.).

I expect that the USA person who monitors this message board *did* see the complaints here, and was able to get April straightened out. Either that, or someone at USA saw it for themselves (you have to wonder if anyone is awake there at all, though). Too bad they had March set screwy already.

The probably play more popular episodes if they are going completely out of order.

I have them all on VHS anyway so i can just pop them in anytime.

I also wrote before posting here. I do not have DVR or anything else on which to record the show. If they don't fix the order I am just going to get the series from netflix and stop watching. Heres to hoping they get it straightened out.
