What is Up With the New Schedule Thingie? - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

pitbulllady · 08-31-2006, 02:46 PM

Has anyone noticed that Cartoon Network has changed the way that they show the schedule? When you used to click on "schedule" on the Foster's homepage, it would show a day-to-day run-down of all the upcoming episodes, with the names of the episodes and times that they were airing, for the next several days. NOW, if you click on "schedule" on the Foster's homepage, you get a general Cartoon Network schedule for ALL their shows, displayed for that day only, though you can click upcoming days to see the general schedule for each of them. Although there is a link for "Episode Description" below the name of each show, if you click it, it just takes you right back to the homepage for that show, and does not provide any information as to the name of that episode! How are we supposed to know, for instance, when a new episode is scheduled to air, or an old favorite that we want to watch again?

I've seen that, too, and I'm not at all happy about it. My hope is that it's in the testing phase and all the bugs will be worked out shortly. If not, I'll get my TV information from Yahoo, which isn't perfect but is usually pretty accurate.

I can't even view all of the episode showings for any of the shows on Cartoon Network. It just hangs there, like it's trying to load the information.

Yes, that's been bothering me! I missed the Bendy/Wilt ep this morning because of it.

I always use tvlistings.com or TV.com to get my tvlistings. I have never trusted the schedule on cartoon network. :/

Actually, Bloo2daMacs, if you're going to use an outside source I reccomend Yahoo. TV.com is really spotty when it comes to it's information and has given me incorrect show times before, while Yahoo never has.

TVGuide.com also can give you a good listing.

Not to be boasting or anything. But the other day my dad bought us a special tv decoder that records the tv shows we want onto a special hard drive just like a computer. Now i'll never miss Foster's home again :bloogrin

My aunt has digital cable, and I was using that to find out when episodes are on. But I found out its not accurate when it comes to episode titles.
