"The Apprentice" to be re-run on CNBC
 

Just a heads up out there to anyone who has missed the first two episodes as a result on NBC's schedule shuffling, or missed the premier, etc...

Thursday at 9PM EST AND midnight EST is the premier.
Friday at the same times is the second episode.

Looks like CNBC will be re-airing each weekly episode a day or two after the initial airing.

I noticed this yesterday when I was doing an episode search on my Tivo. I was going to post aout it but forgot, so thanks for posting it. I think this is a good idea for them to do this, especially since Wednesdays at 8pm is now so jammed full of TV shows.

I still had the second airing of the premiere on the TiVo. I wasn't planning on watching this, but Bob and Tom on the radio coaxed me that it was worth it. So, LATE last night, I clicked it on while my wife was tooling around doing the usual end of day stuff.

She kept complaining about "how can that be interesting?" and "why would Trump do something like this?". By the time the girl sold the lemonade (and her phone number) for $5, she sat on the bed to watch. Then it was "Boy, is his apartment ugly", followed by "oh wait! That dining table is nice, and oooooh, look at that fountain!" By the end, she was shouting at that pretentious weasel who "The Donald" is "still trying to figure out". She is hooked. :D

When I told her that I didn't have the Season Pass set up in time to catch the second episode last week she was disappointed. I have since downloaded it, and will probably burn it off to watch tonight on the television (vs. just watching via Media Player) instead of waiting for the CNBC repeat. It'll save me 32 presses of the "30 second skip" button. ;)

I encourage anybody who hasn't watched this show to catch the reruns. It's really quite good.

That's great! I already record 2 things in that timeslot already.

I did a search on my Replay - no CNBC rerun of this week's episode. They are rerunning next weeks episode Thursday and Friday.

My Replay shows them re-running this week's episode on Monday night and Tuesday (1 a.m.).

Weird - I did another search and still no sign of that repeat, Patman. I even went directly to that time and no sign of it.

Shows up fine on TIVO listings.

Well, maybe the cable listings vary a little bit from area to area. I won't be able to check until I get home from work today, though.
