I have been DVR-ing TNG on BBC America for a couple of years now, and this is driving me absolutely nuts. They keep playing the same episodes over and over again. They seem to be from seasons 3, 4 and five; but not all of the episodes from those seasons. I am guessing that BBC-A only bought the rights to certain shows. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or knows why.

Have not had BBC America in a few years, but if they are only showing a few episodes, then that may be all they bought. When G4 ran TOS "2.0" they only had a few episodes to show. Hope this helps

I notice that some channels do show repeats of episodes. I guess the reason is because they can't think of anything to put on the TV stations schedule.

I haven't had that problem. They've been showing them where I live in order from Season 1. They did, however, end the sequence before with Times Arrow Pt. 1 which was strange.

Target that explosion and FIRE!

I had to clear out my cache on DirecTV in order to save space on my disk drive, now I have repeats of maybe ten to fifteen episodes. BBCAmerica might only have the rights to certain episodes and not entire seasons, but at least we get a TNG fix on TV!

Klingons do it better!

8 to 6? Of all the lousy timing, I'll likely miss it due to work, and they recently canceled TNG on the local channel here, I have no place but here to get my trek on! Argh!

Never drink with your enemies! Well, maybe just one round...

BBC America is now showing seasons 3-7. They must have decided it was worth it to buy the later seasons as well. Wouldn't be surprised though if they hold out for the re-mastered episodes from seasons 1 & 2.
