TVA – Thanks. We have Peachtree on 47 now too… but there’s no My Boys on Peachtree! That and the Dawson’s Creek re-runs were the only thing I watched on TBS, and this Peachtree isn’t airing either of them. This is just not an acceptable substitute! Please let me know if you happen to find My Boys on Can. cable. Thanks.

I”m with the TvA. It makes more sense to release them at least a month or so before the new season starts so you can watch them and the networks can go “oh yeah and it’s coming back soon!” And with shows that don’t rerun over the summer the DVDs need to be out sooner.

Yeah but casual viewers aren’t likely to buy the DVDs, but they are likely to see the cases and tune in to the next season if its fresh in their minds.

Agree with you there Ally, but I also think the show would be fresh on my mind after I spent two weeks watching the last season getting ready for the new one!

The reason they do that is so the series will be fresh in people’s minds. When the box set is sitting on the shelf under “New Releases” it’s pretty much free advertising for the show.

Just Jody,

At least in Toronto, TBS seems to be re-branded PeachTree TV!?! No idea why. But it’s still on Channel 47 on Rogers. Not sure what channels you get up in Ottawa though! Oops, was I supposed to reveal your secret location?

I totally agree! I’ve complained about this for some time… especially when I only had 2 weeks to watch BSG season 3!

Also, any idea what happened to TBS in Canada?? I’ve been trying to set the PVR for My Boys, but no luck! What’s up? Anywhere else we can watch it?

Yes! I don’t understand why they refuse to release the DVD sets over the summer, when many people would actually have time to check out some shows before their fall premieres. When September comes, I’m not going to have time to watch any TV on DVD. The fall TV season will take up any TV viewing time I actually have.
