Does truTV Even Advertise New Episodes Lately?


New episodes of World's Dumbest have started airing a couple of weeks ago, and I don't seem to recall any promos reminding viewers about them. All I see are network ads about their usual "reality" shows. Something tells me that they're going to bury this show for some reason--it's the only reason I watch truTV.

EDIT: Also, those new episodes are no longer numbered. Why's that?

I'm not sure, but I think you said it best in another thread, this show is on it's last legs. They play new episodes for two, maybe three weeks at best, and then they start playing repeats for a month. They've been doing this since February, when they started the "new season".

I mean seriously, what kind of season is this? They play two episodes, then play repeats for a month? What the hell is that? Then not to mention, the new cast sucks. They are trying too hard to be funny when they're not. Telling forced jokes that just aren't funny. Sure the old cast did it, but it didn't seem as desperate as it does now. The new cast it's like "PLEASE LAUGH AT OUR CORNY JOKES PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!!!! NOT FUNNY!?!? WELL HERE'S A STUPID SKIT, PLEASE LAUGH AT IT PLEASE!!!! WASN'T THAT FUNNY!?!?"

Whereas the old cast, it was like "Yea our jokes are corny, so what?" I think TruTv is gonna pull the plug. If the show is gonna continue the way it is with the cast, random as schedule for new episodes, and not to mention, switching the times of new episodes damn near every time they have them (The show used to be, new episodes 9:00 p.m. on Thursdays. Over the past year and a half, they air them at different times, one week will be 8:00, then the next week 9, then back to 8, then the week after their month break, 10:00. Show some f'n consistency).

I'm sure they got some dumb scripted reality repo show ready to take it's spot.
