Members ChitHappens Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 It was easy to be the best tv show when the network didn't have many shows. The best thing about 101 was the concerts they had. I was able to get a Wynonna concert on DVD thanks to that channel. With Trassions, they began decreasing the airdates until they felt comfortable getting rid of the show altogether. I had DTV at the time, but if I didn't, I sure wouldn't have ordered it for that sh!t, and I once was a huge Shuis fan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 I already had DTV at the time as well and really enjoyed the concert series they did. The show being bad doesn't change the fact that they picked it up to get people to subscribe. They didn't care about putting out a good product they just wanted new customers and canceled it as soon as they got their new customers. They turned around and did a deal with Friday Night Lights too that same year. If you were a DTV customer you got to see new episodes 4 months ahead of time and it was marketed as keeping the show alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 Was DTV in charge of production? Honest question. I can't remember what the arrangement was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 They were still taping at the same NBC lot in Century City, if I'm not mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 If you're bad so am I. PP spent so much time jerking fans around while they got in over their heads, suddenly started crying about big bad ABC, and being general douches that, while I feel a good deal of empathy for the innocent parties involved, I'm laughing my ass off at PP.

Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 The people in charge of PP will likely come out of this unscathed so I'm not sure who is being laughed at, really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members allmc2008 Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 Why would anyone even go to the trouble of switching TV subscribers just because of a show? Any show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 Didn't Sci-Fi do the same thing to PASSIONS when they ran (for awhile) delayed repeats during their morning lineup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 Barely anyone would ever change their TV subscribers for one show, especially with streaming and YouTube, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted March 12, 2014 Members Share Posted March 12, 2014 This was before all the episodes were put on youtube. And before it became super popular to stream tv shows. They decreased the amount of episodes airing to stretch out the run so they could keep viewers watching well into next year. The show was canceled in December 2007 on DTV and aired until August.
