I noticed that, too. I used to love my afternoon break at 3pm on Monday-Wednesday. Oh well.

Yep except on "begging days" BTW I hate the new Fons and porter show, the one with the daughter. UGH! I don't watch it anymore.

I haven't seen a show for a looong time either. They just don't think there is enough interest anymore.

We only get Eleanor Burns on RFD-TV here (S.E. GA/FL)
Years ago, we got Alex Anderson's shows, but her contract ran out, that's when she went to doing the online thing with Ricky TIms... So, nothing here either!~You have to remember that regardless of it's name, PBS is not so PUBLIC anymore...

we are down to Fons & Porter once a week but have more cooking shows than anyone can ever watch. I don't know why since we have a cooking channel. I guess in the days of both people working and fast food they think people are actually cooking
they teased us with one full Sat of different quilt shows then it was gone

So sorry you are deprived. Hope you are able to find things on line to compensate. Aren't you glad this board is here for you?

We used to have Fons and Porter on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:00 AM. Now it is some far out quilting/non-quilting show that I don't watch. Can't waste my time on stuff like that! Too bad, too! Today it was making Christmas ornaments that looked like houses or something! Too busy for that! Edie
