CNN

Hey Rick,

Great job curating AC360, Cuomo Prime Time, and CNN Tonight with Don Lemon with your recorder and this unending election! I leave updates to you mostly. If I do update something incorrectly or you disagree with, please let me know. Thanks always.

Thanks for the kind words, appreciate 'em. It's getting harder with MSNBC. They still don't have the regular show names on the guide or the screen but so far tonight it seems they are announcing it as their shows and the hosts are back in their regular slots. :/ At least CNN is sticking with no regular shows till this mess is cleaned up ... my guess is sometime just before Christmas! :)

Oh, you optimist! Yep, channels don't always make our efforts easy. 

CNN is airing most if not all of the Election Day (ED) and post-ED coverage as Election Night in America. I don't find a CNN series with that title. Could any of the coverage qualify for America's Choice (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/12505/americas-choice) or add a new show? 

Also, do you still have any video to add the CNN coverage for the VP Debate on October 7 to Debate Night in America (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/25046/debate-night-in-america); perhaps even the debates added? Just wondering. Thanks again.

I think ENiA should be going in as a new show ... or a new network! It's running what now? 6pm to 6am? I'll add it in a few minutes.

Remember when I said the family had arrived? Well they stayed longer than I thought which put me behind in my updating ... so my 11 yo granddaughter thought she'd help out clearing all the PVR recordings by not only deleting them all ... but removing all the scheduled recordings as well ... she thought a clean slate was best ... such a sweet ... .... .... child. Ya, lets go with child. :/ 

So I had nothing left on the PVR. The Mrs. who had a lot of old movies in the bank also lost everything she'd saved as well as ones she had scheduled over the following two weeks. The Mrs used words other than child.

I can only imagine... Just think of what you can remind her of in a few years. Perhaps blackmail material... I don't mean that, of course... :)

Would it be fair to use the coverage of the two Pres. Debates to round off the VP Debate coverage adding it? Also, can't the Pres. Debates at least be added to the time period between the coverage you already put in since the series is Debate Night in America? I don't mean to badger you. 

Presidential & V.P. Debates; Mistake


tvjjbj12 posted 3 years ago

Hey Rick. Did your video recorder get CNN's entire coverage of the U.S. Presidential Debate on Sept. 29 or the Vice Presidential Debate tonight? Does anything (the debate, pre-debate coverage, or post-debate coverage) qualify to add to America's Choice 2020? Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon appeared together for post-debate coverage at midnight or 1 a.m. for the Presidential with America's Choice 2020 displayed on their desk. Following the Vice Pres., they just came on at 1 a.m. (going to 3 a.m.) with America's Choice 2020 on their desk and projected on the wall behind them. But Debate Night in America is written above them in the studio. Also, my cable guide lists Debate Night in America for the 11 p.m. - 1 a.m. slot as well as 1-3 a.m. I forgot to notice the 7 to 9 p.m. slot with the debate listed from 9-11 p.m. Logging this stuff sure gets to be a problem. Is it worth it?

TVmaze links: Debate Night in America (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/25046/debate-night-in-america) and America's Choice 2020 (https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/12505/americas-choice).

My mistake: Also, could you delete three of the four images on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert episode for October 9? I added this episode and meant to add only one image of the stars and creator of "The West Wing". But my fingers got too frisky and I mistakenly added it three more times. 

Thanks a bunch. I hope all is well with you and your family.

Just a quick note, off to do laundry! :( Fixed Colbert pix ... odd, when my fingers get "frisky" they're not adding picutures so much as viewing them! :0

We're in the same boat vis a vis the debates and where to add them. Will get back after my jammies are dried.

Hey Joe

Sorry for delay in getting back to you on this, family showed up a day early for Thanksgiving ... what a nice surprise to get back to after laundry. :/

Lemme catch up on my PVR recordings etc and then have a boo at the debate(s).

ttyl, Rick

Good for your family. I'm sure they'll accept you in dirty laundry. 

And thanks for your focus area of CNN. I watch various of its programming. Stay safe, Rick.

Anderson Cooper 360° & Cuomo Prime Time on CNN, September 21, 2020


tvjjbj12 posted 3 years ago

Hey SilverSurfer. I hope you and your family are staying safe.

Anderson Cooper 360° and Cuomo Prime Time are two series you frequently update. For Monday night, September 21, AC360 aired for 60 minutes, not 120. Unscheduled, CNN added CPT at 2100 for 60 minutes. This did not even show on my cable guide. I guess it was a last-minute change.

At your TVmaze access level, I hoped you could access better data entry tools to adjust the episode names and dates more quickly than one at a time. If I can assist you, let me know. 

Joe

We're hanging in there. Thankfully the 12 yo granddaughter went back to school ... it was either that or I spend time in the psych ward for a rest! :) Hope all is well on your end.

Same with my guide, in fact, I have two 360's recorded and the second is Cuomo. I've adjusted this week for Chris but left next week as is for now. My guide shows their regular line up all week but I'm pretty sure they're going to have some sort of special debate coverage ... in fact I think I saw some ads for it on the shows. So until I get the info to adjust, I'm gonna wait. If you find anything first, feel free to have it 'er ... I don't have any special tools to help with this at my level, it's fix one, move on sadly. :(

Thanks for the note & info!

Rick

Hey Rick. I call it Sanity Maintenance. Don't forget to breathe occasionally. :) Otherwise, just hanging in here taking care of my older sister as needed.

As a Trusted, I hoped you might have access to better Tools like the "Bulk Create Episode Image" which is great for loading entire season images. In time, more bulk update tools may be added to TVmaze. I've held back making big changes to the series you seem to work heavily. If I do, I'll try to let you know. But, ask me any questions you have and let me know anything I miss or need to change. Thanks a bunch.

Yup, that'll shut me up! Well played, Sir.

Watch History


tvjjbj12 posted 5 years ago

SilverSurfer,

Thanks for the suggestion on entering the page number in the URL in the address bar for searching through episode history. It never occurred to me.

I'm like: OK, I'll take my hand and slap my forehead crying "REBOOT, REBOOT!" Thanks again.
