In Russia, the time zones deal with you.

Yeah, I know that Central and Mountain have offset schedules, I should have mentioned that, but I was thinking mainly about base schedules. The central zone for instance is just the East coast in real-time, whatever that time happens to be in Central (-one hour). This also means prime time ends earlier (relatively speaking). They could probably adjust the time zone for their own schedules, but is the reason they don't simply one of population density? The East and West coasts have huge populations, but I don't know how they break down exactly as a percentage of the whole US.

Anyway, we need at least 12 episodes of the IT Crowd, stat.
