When is a rerun not a rerun? When it’s “enhanced”!
“Lost” first figured this out and now precedes each new ABC Thursday 9 p.m. episode with a time-filling 8 p.m. repeat “enhanced” with facts, figures and “clues” that pop-up like old-time VH1 video trivia. (VH1 ran videos? How weird!)
Tonight, “Ghost Whisperer” jumps on the texting bandwagon at 8 p.m., running "Love Notes" that promise “production secrets and fun facts” (such as: “Jim and Melinda's house is on the Universal Studios back lot. It was originally built as Gregory Peck's house in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’”). Expect ’em on the episodes repeating on CBS both Feb. 15 (8 p.m.) and Feb. 22 (9 p.m.).
Also factually enhancing reruns: CBS’ “CSI: Miami,” adding "Bullet Points" the next two Mondays (Feb. 18 and 25 at 10 p.m.).
