I remember watching that 70s show and same thing happened

Part 2 is on next monday at 10pm.

For some unknown reason Living have insisted on showing multiple series of CSI all mixed up for years, it is very annoying. I found it next to impossible to watch the first run of a series on Living a year back as even the premieres were all over the place.

In the next 7 days they are showing (in order):
5.22
6.22
5.23
4.08
4.01
1.01
4.02
2.07
6.01
6.02
5.25
6.03


It could be worse though. RTE have a nasty habit of dropping entire episodes completely and never airing them, including season finales of shows with strong continuing storylines.

Just this month they started CSI:NY season 3 in the same slot that they had been showing season 2. Only they skipped the last 2 episodes of season 2 for no apparent reason.

Some years ago they aired the first part of a 2 part season ender of Homicide twice and never aired the second part. As this was before Broadband, torrents and "American cousins" I had to get some actual American cousins to send me a tape.

I could list at least a half-dozen other times they have missed out episodes or shown the wrong ones and not corrected the mistake. I really hate those unprofessional Montrose fukwits, thank god for t'internet cause now I really don't care anymore.

It actually happened to CSI: Grave Danger on RTE.

They where going to show the 2nd part of the show on a friday night rather then the usual Tuesday Night. I wrote to them stating that they seemed to be make a mistake and then they changed it, perhaps others had emailed in also.

But they replied saying that it was down to a new member of staff.

I replied telling them that it always happens on RTE and that they shouldn't blame a new member of staff.

They stopped the current season of CSI mid-season (They are a seaon behind). CSI is filler on RTE.

Would living not be better to show each season in order?

i.e. Moday 1.1 Tuesday 2.1 Wednesay 3.1 Thurdsay 4.1 Friday 5.1 Saturday 6.1.......... Monday 1.22 Tuesday 2.22 Wednesday 3.22 etc. ?

I would buy the series but they are expensive and instead of like in America the come in two parts

Grave Danger has it's own box set. Prob because Quintan Tarintio (sp?) directed it.

I think I have seen season One in a complete box set but CSI is one of the most expensive Box set at the moment.

I thought i missed the end but it doesn't surprise me that they did this as it's happened before. TV3 have done it with Crossing Jordan as well. :mad:

True but this was after that. RTE did want to show the major episode before anyone else hence the pushed it forward and then when the repeated they nearly made an even bigger mistake.
