I have been baffled by TV scheduling when we change clocks. If clocks are 
changed at 2:00, in the fall there should be two 1 o'clocks.  In the Spring 
there should be no 2:00 at all. Yet the schedule doesn't reflect that. Long 
shows that start before the change end as if the clocks are never changed. 
I have followed this for four years. The TV stations have no explanation.
