Just got a email reminder from TLC and it says Sports Disaters will air at 2pm tomorrow! WTH!
Now their schedule says this episode of Rides won't be on again until Sept. 18!
Wonder why they changed the schedule?

Exactly... same here! Just got the reminder today! WTF?

I noticed the 3rd (sun) airing of a Rides episode has been patchy on their scheduling the past few weeks... (1 and 2 being on Tues) used to be the 3rd airing on that following Sunday at 2... but they seem to be delaying the 3rd airings now... like a few weeks delay. the one Sunday was from a while back... weird!

I know it cost money but wonder if you can order the episode on tape form them. Discovery seams to sell all its shows on tape, upon request. TLC should too, maybe

i think they did that so i could watch it since i forgot all about it yesterday...

*inside the TLC programming room*

"it's 1:58, and dodger's not in front of the tv!"
"that's ok. we'll just show sports disasters, and show rides on the 18th for him, but that is his last chance..."

so--sorry, folks. i'll be watching next time so they can air it again...

I emailed them about this:

"Unfortunately, we have researched our entire inventory and found that the merchandise you requested is not available."

No episodes of the show are available for purchase.
