Here's the taping schedule; accurate; I assume as of December 6.  The repeats next week appear to be from September:

Hmm, lets hope they change that schedule.  I just sent off an email to the CBS2NY programing department, so hopefully I can get some info from that end..

I doubt you'll get a response, though, because PiR is on a national feed....

Yep.  From the week after the show I was at (just missing me by two days).

This may seem like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway.  They can bump one of the reruns to show a partially or totally pre-empted show, yes?  If that's the case, then Shredder might want to set a VCR for next week just in case.

The Dec 18, 1998 episode(Xmas decorated) got preempted due to a report on something Lewinskygate-related. They bumped the rerun scheduled for Monday Dec 28, 1998, to show the 12/18 episode.

And Zach is correct on that account because I remember this was the only time that a Xmas show(full hour) aired after Xmas. There was also a half hour Xmas show that aired in 1992 on New Year's Eve(before NFL or College football)

Most likely before College Football on New Year's Eve - CBS has broadcast the Sun Bowl on NYE for a bunch of years. TPiR was the lead in during some years, and "Soap Break" on others.

Also, IIRC, on Christmas Eve and NYE '93 (which was on a Friday, like this year), CBS aired 1982 episodes of $25,000 Pyramid at 2PM (EST).

Well, two days in and so far no luck.  If they don't air it, anyone here have it on tape for a trade?

I hope you're not seriously expecting them to change this week's schedule...'cause if they were going to, we'd probably know about it by now.
