I go to 'search' and type in 'battle bots'. It comes up that way for me... Although I say that and to be honest, now I'm not sure if we've had to actually resort to on-demand viewing this season. My wife reminded me that the couple of matches that we missed at regular air-time on Thurs, that we've actually watched them during the 2nd airing at 11pm cst.

I will say that you can catch the previous week's matches two hours before the current week's air time on Thurs. So with us, being on central standard time, the new episode comes on at 7pm Thurs. But if we missed the previous episode, then we can catch it at 5pm CST on Thurs... two hours prior to the new episode. I probably did NOT explain that very well lol.

I can definitely understand that. I guess with us though, it's kind of like our 'date night' or 'movie night' so we look fwd to the two hours of fluff and banter and behind the scenes stuff, as well as hearing about what's happening in the pits. Otherwise I would feel exactly as you do. But yeah... even the commercials aren't bothering me quite as much as they do during other shows and movies because it gives me a chance to grab some snacks, make a sandwich, go to the bathroom, etc.
