Some Additional Closure

It occurred to me that in my previous post I made reference to Media Center seemingly screwing up when recording The Closer last night, but I never went on to explain (as I'd intended to) why it messed up.
After airing The Closer at 9, TNT premiered another new series called Saved at 10.
As they often do when premiering new shows, TNT aired Saved without commercial interruptions.
That meant that it ended well before 11, so when they rebroadcast The Closer, it started sometime well before my computer began recording at 10:58, and this is something that would not have been taken into consideration by the channel guide that Media Center uses.
So that explains that mystery.
On a related note, I'm guessing, based on the fact that the copy of The Closer I downloaded had no commercials and showed no signs of having been edited to remove commercials, that it was also aired without commercial interruption.
Anyway, just wanted to make sure I filled you in on what happened.
I'm sure you'll all sleep better knowing.
