Why did Lindy Booth leave? Is RH being shown in syndication anywhere?


I always enjoyed Relic Hunter, and was disappointed when it was cancelled.

Why did Lindy Booth leave in the last season, and is Relic Hunter being shown in syndication anywhere? I live in California, USA.

Thanks in advance.

Well, one simple guess would be (just checking her bio), that her career was taking off and her time being spent on the show for such a low grade role just wasn't worth it. But you know, maybe I'm just being too logical about it, I'm sure there's a more convoluted reason someone can come up with.

I really liked her replacement. She was totally smoking hot! Incredible looks, she should be modelling or be a centerfold.

Try checking TITANTV.COM. It gives a listing for everything in your area, whether
you have local stations, cable, or satellite. I believe you can only get it on DVD. AMAZON.COM has it for sale. It is the best of Seasons 1 & 2.

If you have access to Canadian satellite TV (Bell ExpressVu or Starchoice) you can watch Relic Hunter every day. It is in fact shown in several time slots.

If you can get the Sky3 Channel then it is on Monday-Friday

Yup, I'm watching it right now.

From what I recall, Relic Hunter was not doing too well after its second season. Lindy Booth's career was not taking off, but she almost certainly asked for a higher salary, figuring she should try to get the money before the series folded. The producers thought otherwise and let her go. The third season was the weakest of the three. Syndication is a tough business, especially when you have a show with so many partners, all complaining about the high show production budget.

reply

Yes, as I recall, she didn't even get a farewell, just Fox saying "My secretary got an internship" or something like that

Such a shame - it was a good show - I always enjoyed it . . . ah well . . .

You guys that live in Canada or the UK are lucky having RH on several times a day, where I live I dont even get it once on any day.
Enjoy it for me.

I love this show, I used to watch it here and there years ago but I have recently gotten in to it more lately, if you get the channel -showcase action- it comes on Mon-Fri 8am-9am EST. And right after Highkander: The series comes on.

I would think playing a peripheral character only there to look stupid and be a blond stereotype thicko didn't look too good on her CV - way hotter with red hair anyway

Half Irish, Half German - hated by all. But at least I'm not Welsh 
