2 Years' Wait For This ?????


New weekly episodes start tomorrow-- 5 in total, at 30 minutes, down from 1 hr. Here's what worries me: new time slot, shortened format, and NO PROMOS!! Every show airing in the time slots after it is promo-ing ad nauseam, not just on TLC, but HGTV, FLN, etc. Yet nothing from Trademark?? They're definite go-getters, not the shrinking-violet type, just doesn't feel right. I know we're all feeling pinched in this economy, but how do viewers find a show has returned unless they are reminded it's on?? Had I not caught a blurb on the 'net, I wouldn't know anything about it at all. I wonder if the short episodes are teasers to reacquaint followers with the show, prior to a longer Fall season??? We'll see . . .

I agree with you on the NON-promotion by TLC; I posted this recently here;
TLC & DISCO Network has a really poorly managed Public Relations staff and policy. They rarely, if at all post ANY info on any programs status in their extensive array of fan sites or program specific sites, although TLS states "... Visit TLC fan sites for the latest show information, video, interactives, games and other Web features..." And they have many Moderators that can post info, but they seem out-of-touch w/ the programs status. The producers don't bother to offer any info either
Be well!

I'm mad, I apparently missed the whole season. Any ideas on when they might re-air the 5 episodes?

Who Knows? TLC Doesn't care about a programs fans.. never did and never will. They start a Fan Forum, then abandon it or Delete the Forum without a warning....sorta like flippin' the folks da bird...
anyway here is what rebecky23 wrote at the TLC Forum; "...IN CASE ANYONE IS INTERESTED RICHARD AND GINGER HAVE A NEW RADIO SHOW EVERY MORNING AT 9AM. HERE IS THE LINK:" http://trademarkradio.com/
