Is anyone from FXUK viewing? - Broadcasting

Been trying to send a message to FX but their email page isn't working.

If shadowlands or anyone else sees this, my questions/comments were -

Over the moon you are showing Babylon 5 again and I'm glad you appear to have changed the schedule to show 2 episodes per week instead of 5. I really don't have time to watch 5 hours of B5 each week.

However, if you're going to change the schedules at the last minute, can you please update the website and Sky epg (wrong synopsis). It's not the first time this has happened and it's difficult to keep up with what's on and when. I understand that TV guides are printed weeks ahead and they can't be changed but the website and epg shouldn't be a problem.

Also, could you tell me if/when you will be showing season 2 of Breaking bad?

I believe Breaking Bad has been bought by Five, so season 2 wont be on FX.

Great idea by fx to show trailers full of spoliers for the new series of Nip/Tuck during the reruns of the previous series. Thanks for spoiling it for me.

Hi - There's been a problem with the EPG which we're getting fixed this very second. B5 is stripped Mon - Fri, and we're trying to find out what was the slip between schedule amendment and EPG. It should be fixed this afternoon and fully series-linkable.

Afraid we won't. Look out for it on one of the C5 channels.

PhilH36 · 13-11-2009, 12:56

Are FX just running the whole of B5 straight through? What about the movies?

Vertigo93 · 13-11-2009, 12:57

We've got all of them as well.

I'd noticed B5 the other night .. if i'd caught it from Episode 1, i'd have probably put it on link ...

There is a Sunday omnibus each week.

So the two hour pilot and the first four series 1 episodes air from noon on this Sunday (15th), with the next episode (series 1 episode 5) on Monday at 6 pm.

So everyone can still watch from the start if you read this post before Sunday.

ooohhh i might do that .. dunno .. i enjoyed it the first time around but i can never usually watch stuff like this more than once.

can fx please show the latest season of king of the hill please and show more final 24 as well please.

holsy1982 · 13-11-2009, 17:29

Might not be the right place, but since FX are showing it. Does anyone know if Life on Mars US got commisioned for a second series. I'm thoroughly enjoying the 1st season.

Haven't got the latest season - not sure what's happening with it. Sadly there are no more Final 24's to show.

It got cancelled I'm afraid. 17 episodes, so 1 more than the UK version...

(if you don't count Ashes To Ashes...)

Thats a shame, especially as I heard the finale to the series is weak. Oh well.

PhilH36 · 13-11-2009, 19:27

It was meant to run to 22 eps but got canned early so they rewrote the ending.

My biggest gripe with FX at the moment is that they don't broadcast in widescreen on the SD channel. Anything shot in widescreen is shown letterboxed. Thankfully I have a V+ box so I can watch FXHD on my SDTV (handy for Life on Mars).
