Hey Space

A few weeks ago you pat yourselves on the back and announce the return of Blood Ties reruns to your Thursday Night schedule.  Then this week it gets moved, either unannounced or poorly announced, to Tuesday nights.

This is what happened in the first run of this great series.   If you don't pick a spot and leave a show there it will not find its full potential audience.  Other than bad planning in the first place I can't understand what would generate a schedule change only 4 weeks into a run...

Just don't go blaming a lack of fan support for Blood Ties if it doesn't come back.  At least step up and take the blame for your own mistakes in mishandling it.   

 

 

 

 

I agree, how could you just pull a show after just 4 weeks and not ever advertise the change. It leads be to believe that people dont' want this show to succeed and that is sad... BTW the fanbase is growing at an alarming rate even if you do not want it to. So is it Monday's at 9pm or Tuesday's at 9pm????  Gesh

I have seen alot of spots re the new day and time plus there is a daily listings section to the website which is generally accurate and besides days and times sometimes even supplies episode titles and blurbs if they have them.

all this shuffling is making it hard for me to catch this show... i set my PVR to record this show in case i miss it, but if you keep changing the day and time it is on, i just may have to forget about this show  ... just too much trouble to watch it ...

BTW.. is there a way to tell which episode is which after it airs ???  i found an episode guide, but unless i know which is which, doesn't help much, unless i have to watch each episode, read the episode guide and then figure it out from there ???

Well, the DVDs should be coming out soon -- end of summerish (2008) from all of the rumors we've been hearing about...

I can't help you with how to identify the eps shown, since I'm in the USA and on a different cable Tv system. However, here is a list of all 22 eps (Season 1), as they originally appeared in the USA and I think also in Canada. If the eps are repeated out of order, there's a short enough story blurb to figure out which ep is what, based on the list provided below.

Please NOTE -- all 22 eps are as noted below (key to what's what -- immediately follows this line)

Eagerly anticipating the Region 1 DVDs for BLOOD TIES (episodes 1x01--1x22) hopefully by summer//autumn, 2008
Region 1 = Canada, USA

Or you could do what I stated in my earlier post and look in the daily listings.

well. the daily listings prob won't work as the file names are just simply blood_ties0xx.mpg, dunno about the story blurn..

 eg.. the ep named blood_ties001.mpg starts with  Christina Cox sitting in a comic store reading a graphic novel about vampires ....

 

cause i have missed a few eps ( just haven't watched them ) was going to edit the commercials out and encode them to dvd's with DD 5.1 sound, then watch them on after iv'e done this :-)

 

but with a possable dvd release, ( where did you see this ? ) maybe i won't do that ....

I think that's the episode for "Gifted" -- but I'm not entirely sure in remembering... so, the coding there doesn't look like the very beginning of the list -- but sounds like it's one of the latter ones and out of sequencial viewing order.

GREAT NEWS --

 This is the *OFFICIAL* news report (info is authentic and will be posted to the MAIN Blood Ties web site upon availability... I forget where *that* was posted, but here's the main link to the "North American" DVD news)

North American DVD Release
http://www.bloodties-bloodlines.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2295



this is a more recent (very recent) follow-up inquiry about it (also includes Canada, because both are REGION 1 =)... ;-)

US DVD Release?
http://www.bloodties-bloodlines.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=2675

hmm interesting ...... gonna hold of on my own encodes then :-)

 

gonna need to do some shuffling to i won't lose them... just in case  ;-) 

Just a heads up folks,

Looks like Space has pre-empted Blood Ties on May 19th for a whack of movies on the long weekend.  We appear to pickup where we left off on the 26th, though.

Hardly suprising.  They almost always do marathons on long weekends.
