Did anyone else find it ironic...


...when comedy central started running reruns of this show at like 9:00pm, just thought I'd point that out I always found that rather amusing. This was a great show, i wish they'd make more episodes, or at least show some reruns now and then. Comedy central has this habit that once a show ends they air reruns constantly for a brief time, then they completely stop and you never see the show again.

Yeah I agree. they have released so many of their stupid shows on DVD yet refuse to release full seasons of Insomniac or even repeat them more steadily. I am always greatful when they aired a massive marathon over a few weeks back in 2003 and was able to get all the episodes and just record the last few new ones they showed. One of the only shows I bothered to record every episode of and I'm glad I did!

i dont understand alot of things comedy central does. if they showed re-runs of shows like half way home they might not be cancelled.

I have set my TiVo to record every episode when it's on, and every month or so I'll get 4 episodes to watch. I'm watching Baltimore as we type.

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with licensing contracts.

How is that Ironic?

Irony is when the actual result is the opposite of the intended purpose, like in "I Am Legend", the drug that attempts to cure cancer actually ends up destroying mankind.

I'm guessing the OP means that by having a show called "Insomniac", it should be played at like 2am for insomniacs. But the show is ABOUT an insomniac and his all-night adventures. That's like saying you must live in South Florida and be on the police force to watch "Miami Vice". Really anyone is allowed, it's just a show ABOUT police officers.

I find it ironic when people throw around the word "irony" to appear smarter and usually end up wrong.
