What happened to "History's Biggest Douchbag"?


My DirecTV DVR's guide listed the season finale as airing Thursday June 16. Now, season 1 episode 22, entitled "History's Biggest Douchebag" has mysteriously disappeared and has been replaced with a rerun of "Mountain Men". A rerun of "Mountain Men" will also air Thursday June 23 in the same time slot. Does anyone know what happened to this episode? Has it been banned, or will it air next year? Also, was the show renewed?

Ya I saw it listed on my Dish schedule too. It happens. Sometimes the information on a currently airing show is totally wrong. Has more to do with the virtual guide getting ahead of itself or falling behind sometimes. It updates every 24 hours. I assume DirecTv is the same.

Why would it air next year? It probably just got pushed to next week.

I was thinking it might air next season because it was labeled as the season finale. It's possible it might end up airing next week, or even this week. My DVR's guide has been wrong many times before.

I usually watch it live, but I didn't last night. I just sat down to watch the show, only to discover that it did not tape. It was not listed as among the things skipped last night, and it is not scheduled in the near future (according to Dish). Along with the fact that they've cut Craig's closing remarks from the on-air version (it's still on the online version) and the issues with actually watching the show online now (I'm using Dish, and when I tried to watch last week's episodes online the day after they aired, I was unable to access them), I'm pretty damn pissed at History Channel (only somewhat mitigated by the fact that they've got some pretty cool history-related programming on their schedule in the coming months - the Seal Team Six and D.B. Cooper programs sound absolutely amazing, enough to make up for all the stupid hairy mountain trucker reality shows they air).

I'm still gonna register a complaint.

I think as the History Channel is quite right wing, so the fact that one of the people on the list is Donald Trump, may have something to do with the episode being pulled :)

Was Trump on the list? They probably just went on a hiatus like alot of shows do. Im sure they'll air it eventually or just use it for season 2.
