If you land on TLC tonight, you are watching 1000-lb Roomies. It airs at 6pm, 7pm, 8pm and 9pm ET/PT (5pm, 6pm, 7pm and 8pm Central), and it ran at 3am as well. That is five slots in a day for a single title, and the 8pm hour is the one that matters.

It is the pick, though not a strong one. Against it at 8pm sit 9-1-1 on ABC, The Real Housewives of Orange County on Bravo and Beat Bobby Flay on Food Network, so TLC is not fighting for the biggest audience here. It is offering a reliable lane for viewers who already know what they want from the channel. The back-to-back 8pm and 9pm placement also means you can join late and lose nothing: the second hour is on the schedule right behind the first.

The better change of pace comes at 10pm ET/PT, when Untold Stories of the ER takes over. It has aired on TLC on nine of the last ten days we can see, and it is a different kind of hour from the Roomies block, filed under documentary and drama. It repeats at 11pm and again at midnight and 1am.

The daytime is just as concentrated. Hoarding: Buried Alive fills 10am to 2pm, then 1000-lb Sisters runs from 2pm to 6pm. Pick one and the channel will happily feed you the same thing for hours.
