History Detectives

Advertisements

Strange scheduling this year. They have broadcast six episodes in a row, but from here it seems that they're going to be a bit inconsistent:

Two weeks of reruns
Three weeks of new episodes
One week either rerun or preempted
Then either one or two weeks to finish

(I seem to recall there being eleven episodes this season.)

Can anyone provide corroboration for this?

 

(Resurrecting this thread from 2007.)

Okay, so now again, this year, they're messing around with things. Already, last week (8/11), History Detectives was pre-empted here in the Boston area, because the three segments were all "encore" segments. Now, next week (8/18), the episode (John Adams Book; ...) is not on the HD channel (a John Denver concert put in its place), but only on the (SD) sub-channels. Then the week after (8/25), nothing. "Viewers' Favorites" in its place. Huh? And the week after is Labor Day, so we can expect pre-emption again, right?

There are supposedly two episodes left (Shipwreck Cannons; ... and Blueprint Special; ...) Any idea when they'll be broadcast. Any idea whether any of these last three episodes are carried by the national HD feed?
