Weekly TV Schedule - Next Episode

Wed Nov 25, 2015 - Weekly TV Schedule

Here is something I've been working on for a couple of days now (and a logical extension of the homepage right hand calendar) - a fully fledged TV Schedule page. Once it's done - it'll have its own link on our main site menu.

Check it out and let me know how you feel about it - what else do you want to see in there, do you find it useful?

I'm not sure how useful it'll be for me but it has serious problem with air dates. They are a day later that they should be for almost all shows.

Episode titles would be nice. You have lots of room there. Having said that, my homepage is just fine, so I would likely never separately access the TV schedule page.

comment # 5 by ArniVidar

I will never use that page since the actual airing time is insignificant, and the Past/Future list on the front page does everything I need it to.

Still, I'd say that the Weekly Schedule should ignore shows that aren't being tracked, and also not show episodes that have been watched.

@silverfox - thanks! Fixed it, should be fine now?

comment # 7 by Doranna

My list is showing air times in the middle of the night. Not sure what's up with that. ;> I do think it's a neat idea. I've only had a vague idea of when my shows are actually aired.

comment # 8 by jralph

It's nice, but I'm not sure it's of much use to me.

comment # 9 by santah

@Doranna - thanks. This shouldn't happen anymore and the shows should show in their regular time slot :)

What I would find hugely useful is a plain, compact list, one line per episode, with no images or fancy formatting, that I could copy and paste into a text file for offline use. And extended to at least two weeks, maybe a month. Eg:

Wednesday, December 2

1:00 PM BBC The Apprentice UK 11x09
5:00 PM ABC The Middle 7x09
5:00 PM CBS Survivor 31x12

Thursday, December 3

...

Looks much better now! 8)

comment # 12 by tvholic

It looks like shows are being removed from the weekly schedule right after their air time, instead of staying until the end of the day. Eg, The Apprentice UK which aired at 1:00 PM local time today (two hours ago) has disappeared from my weekly schedule, but is still listed on the right-hand calendar.

comment # 13 by jt4703

I'd like to second tvholics suggestion to have each episode on a single line. My episodes were showing the wrong days/times but I turned off the do not use check mark on air dates and it fixed it. I clearly don't understand that setting.

comment # 14 by santah

@jt4703 - What is not to understand about a checkbox called "Do not use local timezone" and the implications of checking it? (that times will most likely be wrong) :)

comment # 15 by Jim70

I like it, should be useful.

comment # 16 by Patrician

Looks like a useful addition

comment # 17 by Clumpco

I like it!
What would be useful for me would be to also have already aired shows from 2-3 days ago available too - would help me spot anything that I have missed. Maybe a "show previous week" button?

comment # 18 by jsj

Looks good, but waste of resources me thinks; Although you're "just" tracking shows, feels to me people use the site to find out and keep track of what's running, what has been aired and when to dwnld. And this is what "Episodes" does, in combination with "What others like". But again, looks nice.

comment # 19 by silverfox

@santah Yes, It seems to be correct now.

On unrelated node, can you add an option to not display picture in the list? They just waste a lot of space and don't serve any purpose there.
