I would think that they'd get bored watching the same episodes over and over
again.  It's become that I just see what episodes are running and just pass
them by.  It looks to me that within a month you've seen everything they run.
Not a good way to attract viewers.

Sort of like the clasic TV stations like antenna TV.  How many times can they
run Newhart, One Day At A Time and others through before viwers start to jump
ship for other stations?  Antenna's saving grace is that they are running
Johnny
Carson every night and if they don't repeat episodes, (which I have not seen
them do yet because I've watched every episode), it will be many years before
they've run everything once.  It's OK to repeat them same day for those who may
not be able to DVR it though.
