{{quote|''I mean, it was clearly obvious that they weren't going to do anything useful, but it was either this, or watch [[Cartoon Network]]'s latest excuse to show ''[[Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends]]'' too many times, and they obviously didn't want to see that, so they decided this was better.''|[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2375953/8/King_Koopa_Katastrophe_Spoof_2 This fanfiction spoof] of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3]]''}}
 
So you're curling up on the armchair to watch your favorite show -- butshow—but the schedule has been changed and yet another airing of the network's most popular (or just favored by execs) show is airing in its place. Your blood boils, but there's nothing you can do -- itdo—it's the network's pet program.
 
This is '''Adored by the Network''' in a nutshell. An over-promoted, over-aired program that either dominates the entire schedule or gets promoted over every ''other'' show on the network or some combination of the two. Whenever networks stumble upon a massive hit show, this show usually gets the most attention and most promotion. Marathons are run, special programming events occur often surrounding the show, and the show is given multiple airings daily.
 
This usually comes at the expense all the other shows on the channel, particularly the shows on the verge of being canceled. At the very least, they will just be ignored. At the very worst, they can be canceled or [[Retool|re-tooled]] to make it more in line with the adored show. And at very, ''very'', worst -- itworst—it could signal the first signs of [[Network Decay]], as the network may add [[Follow the Leader|more shows similar to the network darling to the lineup.]]
 
Despite the network's fixation on this show, it doesn't fit the nature of being the [[Creator's Pet]] because, well, if it's a hit, [[Captain Obvious|then many people like it]]. It may be a critical darling that's loved by all. You ''yourself'' may like the show. But you also like ''other'' shows on the channel and the overbearing presence of the program just may be too much. Naturally, if a single series is on all the time, it may lead to [[Hype Backlash]] through overexposure, since even the people who genuinely enjoy the show may get sick of it. Enough of this can ironically result into the show being considered [[Screwed by the Network]], as it can lead to the show's downfall and cancellation.
Line 84:
* On [[Nickelodeon]], ''[[iCarly]]'' is also guaranteed to have a lot of episodes running on a given day (at least three or four a day on average, sometimes more on weekends).
** During summer 2010, ''[[Big Time Rush]]'' and ''[[Victorious]]'' were both big ones for Nickelodeon. They would rerun ''at least two'' episodes of both ''every single day''. Not counting Friday and Saturday night blocks. ''Big Time Rush'' had just enough episodes to cover a full week, but ''Victorious'' only had eight episodes to air.
** Nickelodeon does this with any "big" Teen Com that has any form of success - ''[[Drake and Josh]]'' comes to mind fairly quickly and they even aired the Christmas Special over and over--evenover—even when it wasn't CHRISTMAS, ''[[iCarly]]'' lately is the most recent culprit.
** Plus, when the network's teen-coms air new two-part specials, after their airing, it'll probably rerun lots of times shortly afterward. When "iStart a Fan War" premiered in mid-November, it aired a total of nine times in the remainder of the month alone. Similarly with "iParty with Victorious", because Nickelodeon went so far as to make an extended version of it.
* [[Nick at Nite]] is every bit as bad with ''[[The George Lopez Show]]'', probably worse. First, they would run marathons of the show for every occasion imaginable using any excuse they could get, no matter how shoddy. Then they did away with the excuses, and began showing marathons of ''George Lopez'' without even giving an excuse to do so. On multiple occasions, they aired '''over 40 hours''' of it in one week, setting up a bizarre situation often where his self-titled [[Talk Show]] on [[TBS]] is competing with his own old sitcom.
Line 110:
** ''Top Gear'' on BBC America; ''nine hour marathons'' every Monday.
** Just about ''every'' BBC [[Panel Show]] gets this on Dave; ''[[Have I Got News for You]]'', ''[[Mock the Week]]'', ''[[QI]]'' and ''[[Would I Lie to You]]?'' have all been repeated to death. The former two regularly [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshade]] this fact.
* ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' is the darling of the Hallmark Channel -- itChannel—it airs approximately twice every four hours on the channel.
** Well, at least it ''was'' until the Martha Stewart combine overran the channel's daytime schedule at the end of 2010, leading to a ''M*A*S*H''-free Hallmark. What followed was a whiplash inversion of the trope when nearly half of the Stewart-controlled seven hour block was converted into ''[[Little House on the Prairie (TV series)|Little House On the Prairie]]'' space barely a month after launch.
** ''[[M*A*S*H (television)|Mash]]'' also used to be this for FX, taking up anywhere from a third to nearly half a day of programming. This was before FX started getting its own original shows like ''[[The Shield]]'', and without its own original programming, the channel was mainly movies and re-runs, and ''M*A*S*H'' had so many episodes it was easy to fill lots and lots of air time.
Line 129:
** With shows like ''Air Farce'', ''22 Minutes'', ''The Red Green Show'', etc., it's the second one. Because TCN has/had a stake in the shows, it can air them as encore performances later the same week CTV airs them.
** They also gave eight seasons to the universally-hated ''Open Mike With Mike Bullard'', which is seven more than any other network would have given the show. When the Network first debuted, it's schedule essentially consisted of the few things they had the rights to -- ''Just For Laughs'' programming, ''[[Whose Line Is It]],Anyways?'', ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'', assorted British programming, and ''Open Mike''. At points, they would air both an episode of ''Open Mike'', ''and The Best Of Open Mike'' on the ''same day'', despite the show only having been on the air for a couple months.
* Another Canadian example is Family Channel (''our'' [[Disney Channel]]). Canadian-made [[Kid Com|Kid Coms]]s seem to be crammed down your throat as well. ''[[The Latest Buzz]]'', ''[[Life with Derek]]'', and ''Overruled!'', anyone?
** Hell, we can pretty much add ''any'' [[Disney Channel]] Original Series that's live action. Whereas ''[[Phineas and Ferb]]'' gets [[Adored by the Network|lots of love]] from Disney Channels all over the world, the show barely gets shown on Family. Whereas the ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody|Suite]]'' ''[[Suite Life On Deck|Life]]'' series and ''[[Hannah Montana]]'' gets played many, many times over. It's pretty much [[Cool and Unusual Punishment|hell]] to anyone that hates Disney Channel's live action shows. Oh, and ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'' and ''[[That's So Raven]]'' still airs to this day in prime-time.
** Eventually, even ''[[Lab Rats]]'' has gotten the marathon treatment, despite already airing on the Canadian [[Disney XD]], even ''[[Pair of Kings]]'' ([[Channel Hop|until moving to Disney XD]]) was given the [[Pun|royal]] treatment on Family, while ''[[Kick Buttowski]]'' didn't air in Canada until [[Disney XD]] became available. Meanwhile, ''[[Fish Hooks]]'' has been [[Screwed by the Network|fully removed]] from Family, to be replaced for ''[[Berserk Button|another]]'' airing of ''[[The Suite Life On Deck]]'', which already airs over twenty times on Family. This isn't including the many airings of previous airings of ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]''
* Affiliate syndication is likely to do this with either the darling network show of the moment (watch out for ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]'' in the fall 2010 syndication blocks) or court shows (since there are plenty of them out there). Likely justified, as local affiliates -- andaffiliates—and especially their sister stations -- donstations—don't have the same budget as the major networks and need material that they can air on the cheap. The big network like NBC or CBS doesn't directly own the local station but won't have a problem with an affiliate running its own syndicated reruns.
** The same case with stations which air locally-produced "daytime shows" which are barely disguised [[Infomercial|Infomercials]]s for local businesses and fully scripted. Literally only the person in the station's control room may be watching, but the station gets the money from the sponsor even if the show has no ratings to speak of, so the rest of the station's market has to suffer through it because it gives said businesses "exposure".
*** This is, of course, the exact same reason that those stations also run [[Infomercial|infomercialsinfomercial]]s in the dead of night.
* In a cross-over with [[Network Decay]], the [[Syfy]] does this a lot. For awhile, the fixation was ''[[Ghost Hunters]]''. No matter the time of day, chances are that 4.5 out of 5 times they'll be airing an episode of either it or its spinoff ''Ghost Hunters International''. Consider that [[Syfy]] has a stable of shows that it show (the ''Stargates'', ''Farscape'', etc.), but you have to actually HUNT those down.
** Which is interesting considering Australia's SyFy is usually chock-a-block full of ''[[Stargate]]'' and its spinoffs.
Line 147:
** Can these stack? Because it seems that if you turn on Spike at any given time, you'll stumble across a UFC fight.
** Pretty much anything that airs on [[Spike TV]] is seen in a day-long marathon, ''without exception''. This includes ''[[CSI]]'', ''[[CSI New York]]'', ''[[1000 Ways to Die]]'', ''[[Auction Hunters]]'', [[Jail]], the ''[[Star Wars]]'' series, or a UFC Fight.
* When ''[[Caprica]]'' first began, the [[Syfy]] showed it nonstop. [[Fridge Logic|Think about that]]. Yes, ''multiple marathons per week'' at times of a series that had yet to air ten episodes. [[Screwed by the Network|Enjoy it while you can]], ''Caprica.''<ref> The [[Syfy]] will advertise a show to death and even screw other shows in favor of it early in its run, but once the shiny new wears off, it will be killed at the height of its popularity for "not attracting the right demographic," regardless of which demographic that is.</ref>
** You called it. ''Caprica'' has been canceled after a year and a half. Its replacement: another ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined|Battlestar Galactica]]'' spin off.
* The UK's Channel One regularly aired five or six episodes of ''[[Star Trek]]'' (''The Next Generation'', ''Deep Space Nine'', ''Voyager'' and ''Enterprise'') on a typical day, with one or two being repeats. The catch-ups they did on Saturdays meant each episode of ''Voyager'' was broadcast on ''three'' occasions. Since then, the channel slot is Sky Atlantic, and it's ''still'' filling the daytime schedule with ''[[Star Trek]]''.
Line 177:
** Before that it was ''Secrets of [[World War II]]'' Channel. Before that, it was ''Battleships of WWII''.
** ''History International Loves History's Mysteries'', usually playing it three or four times a day.
** And in general subjects, History Channel had went through various "Adoring a single topic in history" -- Civil—Civil War First, then WWII, then Hitler. And for about a year, they were constantly playing documentaries about The Freemasons and Knights Templar, then it was Disasters (specifically ''Seconds from Disaster'').
** A&E was joked about being "The Hitler Channel" until they spun off The History Channel, which kept a large amount of Hitler-centric programming until very recently.
** At the moment, thanks to the popularity of ''[[Pawn Stars]]'', [[The History Channel]] has constantly been playing that show and shows like it. (other TV stations have also jumped on the "reality show where guys buy and sell things" bandwagon) Due to the 2012 Apocalypse craze, the station is also airing a lot of "armageddon" and conspiracy theory shows. Aliens in particular have been a popular topic.
Line 188:
* NBC had ''Series/Dateline'' fell victim to this about ten years ago. It seemed that every night, except Thursday, you could find an airing of the show on NBC. Now, it, and ''48 Hours'' are adored by ID.
* The Inspiration network has ''Our House'', ''[[Highway to Heaven]]'', ''[[The Waltons]]'', and ''Wind at My Back''.
* [[Reality Show|Reality Shows]]s in general are officially the [[Creator's Pet]] in Italy.<ref> there actually ''are'' people who like them, which makes this more of a case of [[Broken Base|Broken Audience]].</ref>. Spanish-Italian showgirl Natalia Estrada [[Word of God|explicitly stated]] that she would return on TV only at the end -- ifend—if any<ref> The latest edition of [[Big Brother]] even had [[Padding]] and lasted roughly two more ''months'' than previous seasons. Go figure.</ref> - of the current reality show craze.
* At this point HGTV is almost entirely made up of ''House Hunters'' and ''House Hunters International''. Go ahead, flip over right now and check. Told you so.
* NBC's flagging Saturday Morning schedule was propped up by ''[[Saved by the Bell]]''. They loved its ratings so much that they had Peter Engel create [[California Dreams|another show]] with the [[Follow the Leader|same basic premise]] [[Recycled in Space|with a twist]]. When that got good ratings, they cancelled every cartoon on the schedule, gave half of Saturday mornings to its ''other'' favorite show (''[[Today]]''), and gave the other half to Engel and friends. And thus was born TNBC, an entire block of nothing but Saved by the Bell clones.
Line 216:
** To contrast, ''Top Chef: Texas'' began airing when fellow Bravo reality-compatition show ''[[Work Of Art]]'' was a little over halfway through. Before, [[Wo A]] would air at 9pm then repeat at 11pm, with something inbetween. When TC:T started, [[Wo A]] aired at 10... and repeated at 11... and again at 12. If you missed [[Wo A]], you had to wait ''3 hours'' before seeing it again. Then the following week, leading up to new [[Wo A]] episodes would be... however many of the new TC episodes they had leading up to the newest one of those.
* Two words, [[Food Network]]. Which quickly morphed into the [[Iron Chef]] and anything [[Cupcake Wars|like]] [[Chopped|it]] network. [[Cupcake Wars]], ''[[Chopped]]'' and ''[[Restaurant Impossible]]'' repeats seem to appear all day ''everyday''. You now have to go the their sister network [[Cooking Channel]] to see actual instructional cooking.
** Then there is [[Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives]] --and—and anything featuring Guy Fieri for that matter, which can air anywhere between 5 to ''16'' times a day.
* TLC (and to a lesser extent, Discovery Health) shows nothing but ''A Baby Story'' and other birth-related shows on weekdays from about 9 AM-4 PM. The wierd thing is, they seem to only show old repeats, which means that some of these babies being born are in middle school now.
* [[YTV]] completely adores ''[[iCarly]]'' and ''[[Mr. Young]]''.
Line 274:
** Also, in the mid-2000s, they would show nothing but ''[[Codename: Kids Next Door]]'' back to back on Saturday mornings.
** From '99 to 2003 you could not go one day without seeing either ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' or ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' playing on the network. Both of these shows were practically CN's mascots during that time.
** ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'' was hit with this literally from the instant it premiered -- CNpremiered—CN started airing it multiple times per day even though ''there was only one episode.'' Ironic, given that CN stopped caring halfway through the second season.
** ''[[Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy]]'' is certainly worth a mention. Since its debut in January 1999, it has been a big hit on Cartoon Network, has aired a total of 70 episodes running through 5 and 1/4 seasons and a series-ending movie and, even after being out of production for over a year, it still airs at least 2 episodes every Monday-Friday. Suffice it to say, it is admired by both viewers and CN.
** ''[[Courage the Cowardly Dog]]'' became the new 'it' show during and after the reign of ''PPG'' and ''Dexter's Lab'', then, even after it was cancelled, it came back recently and could be seen airing every day for a time during 2010 and early 2011, though that's since ceased.
Line 284:
** ''The High Fructose Adventures of [[The Annoying Orange]]''. It hasn't even "officially" premiered yet and there's still at least one rerun per weekday.
* Speaking of Boomerang, they decided to devote weekdays and entire weekends to nothing but ''[[The Flintstones]]''. To the point where it gets so bad that if you here the theme song ''one more freakin' time'' you'll scream. Whats a girl gotta do to see some ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' come back again?
** Nowadays it seems like Boomerang is a place where older ''[[Cartoon Network]]'' shows [[Adored by the Network]] go to thrive. It's a bunch of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'', ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'', ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'', ''[[Two Stupid Dogs]]'', ''[[Cow and Chicken]]'', with their typical older shows thrown in.
** For a while in the mid-2000s, Boomerang's weekdays were almost nothing but ''[[Tom and Jerry Kids]]'', ''[[A Pup Named Scooby Doo]]'' and ''[[Baby Looney Tunes]]'', with old ''[[Wally Gator]]'' cartoons in-between every show.
* For CN Asia viewers, it's ''[[Tom and Jerry]]'' or ''[[The Pink Panther]]''. The entire afternoon is nothing but episodes of both, and all CN Originals (with the exception of Network Darlings ' ''[[Ben 10]]'', ''Chowder'' and ''[[The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack]]'') are scheduled after ''midnight''; i.e. way past the bedtime of their target audience.
* [[Nickelodeon]] loves ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]''. The show runs at least ''eight'' times on an average weekday -- itweekday—it's the first thing they show in the morning and the last thing they show at night, before turning into [[Nick at Nite]], and it's the only show that they run at all different hours of the day to get pre-schoolers, after-school kids, ''and'' evening teenager audiences. "Special" ''SpongeBob'' episodes are hyped up and promoted more often than the regular Nicktoons on the network. Some days, it gets more airtime than all the other Nicktoons still on Nickelodeon combined. Even ''repeats'' get more than the average that most kids' shows nowadays have. Don't believe me? Go on [http://www.tvbythenumbers.com TV By The Numbers], look at the top cable ratings for the week and check out how many episodes will be there.
** Mostly, it airs first thing in the morning, but sometimes, another show airs. For instance, a [[Team Umizoomi]] special aired on Martin Luther King Day 2012, and the [[Rugrats]] special "Babies in Toyland" was the first thing aired on December 25, 2011 (aka Christmas).
*** It is no longer aired anymore as the first thing in the morning, [[Winx Club]] now airs first.
Line 314:
*** FOX intended to cancel it early, it was only because of fan backlash it got an extra season. If you watched the network when new episodes of [[King of the Hill]] were being aired, said new episodes would receive very little promotion, while new episodes for [[The Simpsons]] and [[Family Guy]] would get hyped up. FOX probably would've cancelled the show several seasons earlier if they had the chance, but the good ratings and large, dedicated fanbase didn't justify it enough.
* ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'' has certainly become a network favorite. Not to the same extent as ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'' or ''[[Family Guy]]'', but it ''did'' receive two full seasons before airing a single episode, and it is more heavily promoted than a certain [[American Dad|other]] MacFarlane show.
* Chilean network Canal 13 just '''loves''' ''[[The Simpsons]]'', to the point they will fill any spot they need with it. During the summer, the channel plays ''Simpsons'' blocks 2-32–3 hours long at morning, afternoon, and evening. This roughly sums up eight hours a day of a single show, never mind that they often skip episode credits to save time for adding an extra episode per block. In other words, they can air an entire season in a single day, the only reason they don't being that the episodes are randomly picked for the day. Sometimes, a small block of ''[[Futurama]]'' episodes airs before the morning ''Simpsons'' block. Still, it's not like they actually cut all the episodes in half just to accommodate for the prime time soaps. Oh wait, they totally did.
** Some time ago, in 2009 actually, a new executive at Canal 13 (Vasco Moulián, if you're interested) developed a "flexible grid", where he would cut, extend, and change the programming according to the ratings -- inratings—in real time, so if a show was running low on ratings it would be cut and replaced with something else on the spot, without a chance to tell anyone beforehand. And if there was any gap in the grid, we got ''[[The Simpsons]]''. The backlash was so big that it cost him his job (despite getting Canal 13 from third to first place in viewership, [[Viewers are Morons|make of that]] [[Humans Are Bastards|what you will]]). Afterward, the flexible grid was quietly put under the rug.
* Outside of reality shows, Australia's Channel Ten also loves ''[[The Simpsons]]''. It has pretty much always kept its daily 6:00 PM slot <ref> This is when all the other networks are airing the nightly news. Ten air theirs at 5:00.</ref> since forever and will often show a couple of other episodes at other times. Mostly on Wednesdays where another two or three episodes might air after 7:30.
** That is, until they decided to try a two and a half hour news block consisting of their aforementioned 5pm broadcast, followed by two new half-hour news based programs, and concluding with the already established 7pm Project. ''[[The Simpsons]]'' have been shunted onto Ten's secondary channel, 11, where it is shown at least twice during primetime, often being split/followed/alternated by episodes of [[Futurama]] as part of an 'animation fixation' block.
** Channel 4 also has ''[[The Simpsons]]'' at 6:00 PM over here in the UK, when BBC 1 and ITV 1 are showing the news, BBC 2 is showing ''Eggheads'' (which also never seems to move) and Channel 5 is airing ''[[Home and Away]]''.
Line 337:
*** Speaking of Futurama, its definitly a network favorite for it's new home at Comedy Central. Not only does it get at least one airing every weekday at 1:30 (Along with the regular airing at 9:00 PM before their precious South Park), but it also got another 26 episode renewal bringing the show's run up to 2013 along with promotion and a nice 10:00 PM slot. They love the show just as much as Adult Swim did.
** Adult Swim has also been playing ''[[The Oblongs]]'' pretty regularly, off and on, since 2002, sometimes even 4 or 5 days a week, despite the show only having 13 episodes.
* Not even Italian networks are safe. ''Rai Gulp'', born after the three main division of the national networks ''Rai'' [[Screwed by the Network|dropped animation almost entirely]],<ref> [[Insane Troll Logic|(airing animated shows only during weekday mornings, that is, when most of the target audience can't watch television for obvious reasons)]]</ref>, and therefore dedicating its own entire schedule [[Network to the Rescue|to fill in the blank]], is partially guilty of this. Said schedule is made of shows that air at multiple times within the same day, but get removed from rotation after a while.<ref> only to be picked up and aired again after another while</ref>. Some of these shows got properly [[Screwed by the Network]],<ref> Somewhat infamously, ''[[Code Lyoko]]'' and ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' had their whole runs aired only once in a row without getting re-airings.</ref>, while others (some of which actually ''produced'' by ''Rai'', as a pre-airing [[Vanity Plate]] for them reads "RAI FICTION CARTOONS") are lucky enough to not only get re-airings before their temporary drop from the schedule, but get picked up again more often. However, the shining example is the ''Matt & Manson'' cartoon series, which has been removed from rotation only after a long while.
** About other Italian networks: ''K2'' and ''Frisbee'' are costantly airing ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'',<ref> only older seasons: another channel, ''Super!'', airs more recent episodes</ref>, and the former is filled [[Total Drama Island|with]] [[Scaredy Squirrel|Canadian]] [[Sidekick (animation)|series]]; ''Cartoonito'' gives you ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'', ''[[The Magic Roundabout]]'', ''[[Caillou]]'' and ''[[Baby Looney Tunes]]'' the whole day, breaking only with ''[[Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks]]'' and ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', each twice a day; and ''Rai Yoyo'', while having a normal schedule, runs a lot on ''[[Peppa Pig]]'' and also airs random filler shorts which are not listed in any schedule.
* The Latin American [[Expy]] of Cartoon Network; there was a time where the only thing they aired was ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy]]'', ''[[Mucha Lucha]]'', and ''[[Ben 10]]'', over and over and over again, for at least two ''months''.
* The now defunct ''Discovery Kids'' network, for its last few years essentially was ''[[Kenny the Shark]]'' and ''[[Tutenstein]]'' with the occasional ''[[Time Warp Trio]]'' and ''Prehistoric Planet''.
* The Discovery Kids network replacement, [[Hasbros the Hub|The Hub]], while having a more balanced schedule than certain [[Nickelodeon|other]] [[Cartoon Network|networks]], seems to be quite fond of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' and ''[[Transformers Prime]]''. Considering the [[Periphery Demographic|popularity]] of these shows. [[Tropes Are Not Bad|It might not be so bad.]]
** On the subject of shows without a huge fanbase, most of the network's time ''not'' spent on ponies or Transformers is instead spent on [[Game Show|Game Shows]]s.
* For those with small children - ''[[Caillou]]'' on the Sprout network. These are shown in 3-episode blocks 15 minutes in length, and only the first three seasons. This means there are only 25 blocks. Two blocks are shown in the morning, one in the evening (repeated 3 times in the overnight segment), and a full hour is shown from 1-2PM (3 blocks with commercials in between). This means Caillou is shown 9 times a day. There is a 100% turnover of episodes TWICE A WEEK.
* ''[[Willas Wild Life]]'' and ''[[The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog]]'' are adored by qubo's digital channel.
