I never thought I would see the day this show was picked up for a second season. But apparently, Hell has frozen over. Check out this article on the Broadcast & Cable website: (Click Here.

I liked the idea of seeing every show in that lineup, except for this one...

I'm waiting on the UPS man to bring my Snowball from Hell any minute now...

Well I for one really lothe "A Haunting" and they still run it.
I hate shows on Egypt and UFO's they keep popping up.

I really can't hate Smash Lab. They got the 'would if' factor going for them.

Dang. Mad I hope they're lying. Well, I'll enjoy the hiatus through 5/22 at least.

Grrr.

There's a car dealership here in Upstate NY whose commercials are so annoying that I change the channel whenever one comes on. I wonder how many people would have to do this before local stations started to realize the effect that commercial was having.

Smash lab is the same thing. It's almost the only DC show that I change the channel on. When MB reruns ran after new MB shows, I would stay to watch. When it was SL, I would change the channel. This isn't going to change.

The outstanding backlash viewers put together may have caused the network to pause (remember the blog entry from a VP?), but it didn't cause any real change.

So, I give up fighting the new management at DC. Let them continue to "build on established brands" (copy their own and competitors' shows) and appeal to a younger (less scientifically astute) audience. I will not be interested. I, and many other DC customers, have voiced our concerns, and now have to face the fact that DC is not interested in what we think. The sad reality may be that our interests no longer align with DC's direction.

I went from the link in the first post to the TLC lineup. For those who think Discovery Channel is going (or has gone) downhill, be assured that "you ain't seen nothin' yet."

I remember when TLC stood for "The Learning Channel" and had shows I could watch and from which I could occasionally learn. Now, there's not a minute of programming I could stand.
