A new series of the sitcom Scrubs is getting airings on Prime, albeit mainly late at night and in several different time slots during the week. The chopping and changing of scheduled pro- grams at the last minute has become so rife that even this TV Guide has little confidence that what we print on Tuesday will still be accurate by the end of the week. The commercial sta- tions reschedule without warning, trying to get a jump on each other. Fear of advertisers presumably drives this hair-trigger re- action to ratings, but the channels might try thinking of viewers rather than advertisers. Sure, the ads pay for free-to-air TV, but if the content gets so unreliable that viewers give up watching and buy DVDs or download their favourite shows from the web then the channels will be busted anyway. 2.
