Ah, okay, now I get it: Joe Schmo 2 is now on Monday nights at 11:05 (which is just an odd start time). Slight pain in the butt, since I don't watch anything else on Mondays, and so suddenly deciding to turn the TV on at 11:00, when I would normally be going to bed, won't be a smooth adjustment. On the other hand, it's a fun show, and I really like it, so...
For those who haven't seen it, Joe Schmo is a parody of the reality shows that I hate so much. The gimmick is this: two people think they're on a real Bachelor/Bachelorette-type show. The whole rest of the cast (other "players," "host," whatever you call the love-target people) are all actors working through a predetermined story. So it's funny because it makes fun of all the conventions and cliches of this particular reality TV subgenre (last year, it was more of a Big Brother-type show, with only one real person), and it's funny watching essentially a huge practical joke being played on these innocent people. (Funny, because it's harmless, and pretty much shows them at their best.)
And now, at least, I can watch it live, instead of taping it and watching it after Nip/Tuck (or the following morning, or whatever).
