Poll question: Which time zone is the best time zone??
I'm gonna say my own time zone, the Central. You know why?? Because we're different from ALL the other time zones. 1) We're the ONLY time zone in the country who's prime time network lineup starts at 7pm local time (instead of 8pm), and 2) We're the only time zone which has ABC, NBC and CBS affiliates have their local news at 10pm.

So which is the best??

8. Are you one hour or two hours ahead of GMT??
I assume you're in the same zone as Istanbul, right??

16. Actually +3 GMT --
Daylight savings time is used in Romania too. Same time zone as Bucuresti, even though we're in the northwest (Transilvania) and they're in the southeast

9. Central. Don't have to worry about spoilers, but get to watch stuff early
Nothing like watching Letterman or the Daily show at 10, or Southpark at 8. It's just so fricken nice

10. EXACTLY. Just what I was thinking.
Edited on Sun Apr-03-05 02:27 AM by SmileyBoy
No spoilers, and you get to watch it earlier. Plus you still get to see SNL live.

11. I lived in the Eastern time zone all my life except some time in Europe...
but moved to Central last year. It's great. Evening sports games don't keep you up as late, although I do wish that they wouldn't be so West coast oriented. Us eastern folks need sleep.

15. Yeah. It sucks watching the Wolves playing the Sonics at 9:30pm local.
It sucks if you're a fan of a Western Conference NBA team who mostly plays teams on the west coast. Almost half the games every year I have to stay up until 9:30 pm local time to catch the tipoff.

17. Well, what bugs me is the Illinois UNC game will be on at 9:12 EST
I don't see why a game between an EST team and a Central team should be scheduled for the convenience of people in the West. It's ok for me because it starts at 8:12 our time, but I'd rather see it start an hour or two earlier for more post-game rioting ;-)

13. You didn't offer the one I wanted.
I guess it would be other, because I'm a fairtime friend to the time zones. I like whichever one doesn't make it so I have to get out of bed before I am ready to. Abolish time now.

20. Mountan is the best, but only in Arizona, where they refuse to
participate in the bi-annual time changing insanity!! Next is Central, since if you miss a cable show, you can see it again a couple of hours later!
