Why are all the good TV shows on Monday night?

At 10:00 in the evening on Monday there will be seven!! shows on at the same time that I'd like to watch. They are...
C4 - 9 Out Of Ten Cats
Five - Under The Dome
ITV2 - Plebs
ITV4 - Ax Men
E4 - Glue
Quest - Swamp Loggers
BBC4 - Cosmonauts - How Russia Won The Space Race
Perhaps it's just my particular taste in TV shows that has made this happen, but it does seem bizarre that so many new episodes are broadcast in the exact time slot. I know that with time shift channels/PVR/repeats/catch up services it's not quite the same problem as it used to be, but it's still pretty annoying when they do this.
Also Gotham is starting tomorrow, but at least that is on at 9:00 when there is a mere one other programme on that I want to watch. Is it just me or are others having the same issue?

Sunday evenings.
Yeah i've noticed that, Tuesdays are always the worst night
You call those good?
BIB - Have they found another cat?
It's just a coincidence that many programmes you like happen to be on at the same time.
I can record up to 3 show at once on my TiVo box and sometimes need more than that, so have to record some programmes on my Humax PVR. Also, many channels have a catch up service, so it's very rare that I am unable to watch any particular show.
It's the start of the working week so people may feel less like going out.
My own personal Monday night viewing is Only Connect (BBC2), New Tricks (BBC1) and Plebs (ITV2). I don't particularly watch any more TV on Monday than I do on any other night of the week.
No one goes out on a Monday
Monday: Gotham & The Walking Dead (Both Same Time)
Tuesday: The Flash & Haven
Wednesday: Sleepy Hollow, Defiance (though may give that show up) & The Strain
Thursday: The Arrow, Forever & Chicago PD
Friday: The Last Ship & The Blacklist
Saturday: Nothing at all worth watching
Sunday: Hawaii 5-0 & NCIS: LA
Still to come The Newsroom, Chicago Fire, Elementary, The Mentalist, Blue Bloods, NCIS: New Orleans, Grimm.
Just leaves them with a good excuse when people like myself, who watched all the first three series don't bother to tune in for series four.
Just can't be doing with it anymore.
Its tedious, self absorbed bullshit.
Gotham five
Friends with better lives comdey
Under the dome. Five
Walking dead. Fox
Mount pleasant. Sky living
Being human. Watch
Hot in Cleveland. Sony
Plus the stuff i record on the weekdays
tuesdays and wednesdays primetime i record a lot also
Do you think they share similar audiences?
We could share a TV!
Great taste my friend ;-)
i like every show on your list
I wouldn't either, even "How Russia Won the Space Race," won't tell you anything new, the "space race" has been done to death in different documentaries over the last forty years.
But some might enjoy it. BBC4 obviously think they will, as it's on three times this week.
Anyway,
I find Fridays pretty poor.
tonight i have
university challenge / only connect (the bastard hard quiz hour
gotham
plebs
glue
being human usa
wwe
and the walking dead, recorded as a repeat late night
only mount pleasant tuesdays

then there's skysports ..... movies ..... new stuff that i was downloading like the leftovers, under the dome, witches of east end, the strain, the knick, star wars rebels, gravity falls, mr pickles, sons of anarchy season 7, z nation, strange empire .....
is that a lot :kitty:
new two and a half men and anger management on wednesday new arrow and flash later in the month new modern family in november and there's a new bones elementary chicago fire to look forward to also starting soon new criminal minds and 5-O
Other new shows that might be shown (maybe worth a look) but not yet confirmed are Constantine, 12 Monkeys, Z Nation, CSI: Cyber, Backstrom & Agent Carter.
Not forgetting the best show ever made "Game of Thrones" but not usually until April.
there are so many good shows to look forward to and most of them are american for me
Apart from Sherlock I cannot think of a British show I watch, British shows tend to be period dramas, soaps, reality tv, very few series, though we usually do crime series very well....but they are only tend to be about 6 episodes then you have to wait another year,
that's another good thing about american tv shows the length of the seasons and have more spin off shows and also do more crossovers with other shows like chicago pd is a spin off of chicago fire and its cost over with one of the law and order shows.
or in the case of sam and cat it's a crossover spin off cat from victorious and sam is from icarly
the british shows i watch this week are mount pleasant waterloo road doctor who and the revolution will be televised plus sky news
Couldn't agree more!!
Gotham
