History channel, monday nights after mail call. Reruns Sunday nights. Excellent show.

My timing sucks. :(

When I first saw Ulrick's post, it was Monday morning, and I said to myself " I'll be sure to catch that, next sunday. No way I'm missing another one."

This morning, I log in and catch Dan's message. :)

They repeat on Saturdays during the day!

Plus, they repeated the episode Monday night/Tuesday morning at 12:30 AM, the same night it's on. A lot of cable channels like History repeat their prime-time line-ups later that night, usually starting at 11:00 PM. So, if you miss the early showing, you can either catch or tape it later that night.
 

Conquest: Back and Forth

(That was an attempted reference to Blackadder: Back And Forth, where Edmund jumps back and forth through time, because...oh, never mind.)

I became aware of this show by accident several weeks ago, catching only the last minute or two of an episode in which "unusual" weapons, specifically designed to combat plate mail, were apparently covered. The one I saw -- or didn't see, as I said -- may have been the last scheduled repeat of that episode; in any case I have not seen it come around again.

Since missing that one, I have seen at least three episodes (on the tournament, the bow, the axe...if I've seen a fourth one I cannot remember it at the moment). I wish I'd taped these, and might start taping the ones that are left, in hopes the earlier ones will eventually repeat again.

Apparently the show also covers more modern activities, like rodeo and demolition derby, which I am really not interested in seeing, and I can't always tell ahead of time which episode will be shown. (Ah, now that Back and Forth thing makes a tiny bit of sense.)

CONQUEST! schedule

I should have looked this up before my earlier post. For anyone who doesn't already have this:

Sunday, Jan 19, 10:30pm - Tournament
Monday, Jan 20, 2:30am - Tournament

Saturday, Jan 25, 1:30pm - The Axman Cometh

Sunday, Jan 26, 10:30pm - Knight in Armor
Monday, Jan 27, 2:30am - Knight in Armor

The "Weird Weapons of the Middle Ages" episode was shown on January 11 & 12; "Bow & Arrow" was shown January 13 & 14. As far as I could tell, the History Channel website only lets you view the listings for a given program within the current calendar month, so I can't see what episodes would have been shown in December, or which ones are coming in February, without checking the overall program listings for individual days.
