Just looking at the programming and have to say it leaves alot to be desiered.

It is becoming the Law and Order channel/ In plain slight/ Burn notice.

I mean monk isn't being show that much for some reason. Friday for christsakes Walker texas ranger got a morning marathon and don't even talk about the poor psych fans

I know that all this Law and Order is making me pray for Anarchy and Dissaray. Which Monk could then solve and straiten, obviously. But, you get it.

I think we are all wondering whats going on. Last I heard, Monk was still the most successful, original show on USA. Maybe they want the anticipation to be so unbearable that Monk will have very high ratings for the season. Or maybe, they are just stupid.

I think they're just promoting those shows that are waning or underperforming...he he he. That's my version of optimism, people. Run with it.

USA used to be on my list of channels to chck to see if anything good was coming on. Now, I tend not ot bother or to check it last because I know it's going to L-N-O central - anytime - day or night.

If not for Monk and I kinda like Psych - They would have lost me as a viewer already. I mean, do thay have to play every hour they own of one show - AND NOTHING ELSE? It's like how an 11 year old would program a station. "We'll watch Law and Order for two months, then wings for six weeks and...

But he got bored and walked away during month one and so they just keep playing L/O!

I swear, I've clicked in on the same episodes 3 or 4 times before clicking out again to find something better.

Speaking of which, The Funimation Channel has a cute animated show called Moonphase about an impish little girl vampire, her host of friends, and the evil overlords looking to re-enslave her to the vampire cause. It's very, very funny at times. They had a marathon on yesterday - and you know... A marathon you HAVENT SEEN is way better than the ones they just wont stop playing on someother channels who shall reamin nameless.

Harumph!

relax. it'll pick up again. there are NO new episodes of monk or psych right now. L&O: CI is having new episodes right now....so is In Plain Sight.. so they're playing them more often throughout the week. Most of the rest of the CI and SVU reruns are ones that are always on USA anyways, from about 5pm to...9 or 10pm? most weeknights? law and orders are ALWAYS on at those times.

is burn notice having new episodes right now? i don't think so, cuz i also remember that when there was new episodes of those shows....they showed that show a lot more often...and i don't like that show. so i think USA just shows the shows that are having new episoses more often.

once new episdoes of monk and psych start...i'm sure we'll be seeing them more often again. and i think...I THINK...CI might be done with new episodes....end ofjuly? beg. of august? not sure when the new season starts though.

Wait a second, I just looked at my calendar and saw that July 13th is on a Sunday. What's up with that? Are they just becoming so obsessed with playing all the other shows that they have to move Monk's new seasons from Fridays to Sundays? Call me paranoid, but I'm thinking they are just trying to get on our nerves. Change is not good. I want it on a FRIDAY! Not SUNDAY!!

Don't the new shows start on Friday July 18th?

Aah! Right, right. Just ignore me. I'm a little loopy today. Haha.

Come on! You have to be the luckiest people in the world, in Europe Monk is shown more rarely. Besides, you can say there's never too much Monk, but don't let it become too worn. What's the point of watching Monk marathons all day long anyway? Treat Monk like a delicate flower!

It has seemed lately that USA has become the L&O channel, but justice will prevail. Monk has a Marathon on Friday!!! Also, check out the August Calendar. USA is counting down to Monk's 100th episode, starting, I am assuming, with episode #1 and working up to the 100th episode when it airs. The August calendar looks like the "Monk channel", which is fine by me!!

Well, as far as L&0, at 26 episodes for 37 years times 5 spinoffs there are ten billion episodes; meaning that they can run it back-to-back into perpetuity and a lot of goldfish out there will never recognize the same episodes once they roll around again, although I think that by now they've killed off every person who ever lived in New York City and chronicled the story of every cop and DA within the tri-state area.

Yeah, try saying that in one breath. But it hasn't been the same since Iced-T arrested Leland Stottlemeyer for impersonating Jerry Orbach. There's even a Law-and-Order-Paris on French TV, although in that one, the police surrender to the Islamic jihadists and then put themselves on trial for racism.

I watched the CI marathon and what I did really like (and they did this on one of the SVU marathons) is the actors give 'character insights' into how they play the role, what drives the character, etc. I really liked that, wish the cast of MONK would do the same thing.

I need a new keyboard - this one is sticking so much I lose letters out of words or spaces between words and the fact I'm trying to type between the USA menu doesn't help either.

Why can't I win the lottery?

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed that USA doesn't show Monk or Psych like they do Law and ORDER. Just yesterday I was thinking in order for me to see Monk I was going to have to break down and get the Season DVD's. (So I'm cheap! Sue me! ) Why buy it, when I can record it. But I can't do that since they won't show them.
