--- Quote from: Pedaler on May 04, 2009, 08:10:07 PM ---Does anyone have an idea what's going on regarding the schedule of this program?  I was channel surfing and just saw the end of one of the programs.  Alex went to Macchu Picchu.

Alex ended up stuck in Chile and now they're now showing one of the episodes when he was in the islands.  Very strange sequencing.

I can tell you that the prior episode ended in Lima, which caused me to predict that the next one (for this week) will go to Macchu Picchu and then elsewhere. Chile certainly fits. The interesting way to get there from Cuzco is over the Andes by bus but Alex and Zsolt may had had more bus rides than they want to from last week's episode (Venezuela to Peru in 6 days on the bus).

Thanks for the tip on next week's schedule.

Pedaler:
Now I understand about the change in scheduling.


--- Quote ---Around The World For Free is not doing that well in the ratings. WGN America will move it to Mondays starting this Monday, but this Monday they will repeat the first two episodes from 8-10pm ET. Then the following will happen:

Mondays, Effective Monday, May 11 through Monday, June 22, 2009
9:00PM Around The World For Free (replaces AFV)
12:00AM Around The World For Free encore (replaces Bob and Tom Show)
4:00AM The Bob and Tom Show (replaces Corner Gas 2x)
(Corner Gas will remain at 5am ET)

Tuesday Nights, Effective Tuesday, May 12 through Tuesday, June 23, 2009
4:00AM-5:30AM Corner Gas (replaces Moesha)

Wednesday Nights, Effective Wednesday, May 13 through Wednesday, June 24, 2009
4:00AM-5:30AM Moesha (replaces Sister, Sister)

Thursdays, Effective Thursday, May 14 through Thursday, June 25, 2009

A few Sundays (May 17, 21 and June 14) will have Around the World for Free encores at 11am ET. A Memorial Day marathon of the show will have the first 6 episodes from 2pm-8pm ET.

I hope the show makes it through it's entire run.  I really enjoy the program and believe that the Travel Channel is a more appropriate outlet.  But I would think that Alex and his partners did pitch the program to them.  ATWFF is as good as anything on the Travel Channel.

Pedaler,

I find TravelChannel programs quite good, but the endless repetition of them is a serious problem.

TARAsia Fan:
I'll break anyone's arm if they rag on Samantha Brown's travels. I want to travel with that woman.
