    Where the hell is DC's Legends of Tomorrow?

    I just checked my cable service's interactive program guide to plan the evening's TV watching, yet was completely unable to find DC's Legends of Frigging Tomorrow at its usual time (or anywhere near it) on its usual
    channel.

    No new episode, no rerun, no nothing. It's just *gone*.

    What the hell happened? Did they finally cancel it? Why no fanfare?

    I wish to hell the networks would actually tell viewers what the hell is
    going on. For the past few years I've noticed more and more often shows
    just jumping around, disappearing for weeks at a time, or even
    disappearing and never coming back without any announcements or messages telling people what to expect and why. Is it gone forever? Is it back in a
    week or two? After Christmas? Did it move to another night or a different
    time? Who knows! The only way to find out is to check the guide every day
    and see if it reappears.

    Is it too much to ask to a) stick to a regular schedule for months at a
    time rather than only a week or two and b) when for some stupid reason you really can't, put a blasted message at the end of the episode just before
    the move/gap/whatever telling people where/when to find the next one? They
    do do that *occasionally* -- "Next week's episode airs at a special time"
    or similarly -- but all too often they just silently move stuff around...

    Of course, whenever they screw around like this it plays hell with
    programmed DVRs too, and no amount of alert messages would help with that.
    The thing will record whatever is on at 10 pm, come hell or high water,
    and if they yanked your show and replaced it with some stupid half-baked
    movie or event or something instead, you'll get a chunk of that instead of
    what you wanted.

    Of course, people not getting what they want leads to people taking their
    money (or their ad-viewing) elsewhere, so I have to question the
    intelligence or motives of any businessman at a network that thinks
    rearranging the schedule every three weeks is better than rearranging it
    just once in May, once in September, and once in January like in the good
    old days.

    DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which came off the schedule in December to make room for the displaced Black Lightning, will return April 1 to its
    previous night, Monday, but shifting from 9 PM to 8 PM. It will switch
    places with Arrow, which will slide to 9 PM Arrow will be preempted on
    April 1 for an April Fools Day Penn & Teller: Fool Us special and will
    air a rerun on April 8 against the NCAA mens basketball championship game before returning to originals in its new berth on April 15.

    Have you considered watching it streaming online at cwtv.com?
    You have to wait a day from when it first broadcasts -- I for one
    don't find that terribly onerous.
