Title: Another new show?
Post by: Tyler on October 28, 2008, 08:19:37 PM
Just saw a promotion for "Cantore Stories," coming to TWC 11/10/08 (IIRC). Not sure yet if this is just a special or if its true long-form programming.

This show is not new. It aired last year, IIRC.

I don't recall anything called Cantore Stories.  :no:

Yeah, same here. From the promos I've seen, it looks new.

I surely don't recall that myself.

I do distinctly remember it being aired last year. I don't remember exactly when it aired, but I think it aired either sometime before or after Storm Stories: In Peril (which if you recall, In Peril didn't really get any airtime due to Hurricane Dean).

EDIT: I saw the promo for this show. The title is different (I think it's like "Cantore's Stories: On Top of the World" or something like that) - I think last year it was just called "Cantore's Stories". Either way, the Cantore's Stories title is not new. :no:

Are you sure your not thinking of something else, maybe Coast Guard Storm Stories? You seem to be the only one with any recollection of this show. Even Billy doesn't remember it. If he had said he did, then I'd be inclined to believe it. But with only one person claiming to remember this show, its hard to believe.

No, I definitely recall a show last year called "Cantore's Stories". :yes:

Hmmm...I've done an extensive search for any mention of it on the internet, and can't find anything.  :no:

Ok, time to dispel some rumors. First of all, Cantore's Stories is NOT a show. It is a special airing all next week wherein Jim Cantore will be showing favorite episodes of SS and giving tips. Think of it as a best of. Here's a link to a commercial:

Stephen, though I know you won't admit it, I'll admit it for you: you don't remember this show. They have never done this with SS before.

I knew it wasn't a show in the first place because of the content of it.
I've watched SS back then, and I couldn't find a program like that, myself.

That video is actually something entirely different from last year; I didn't remember this myself until I saw that ad.

This year's "Cantore Stories: On Top of The World" sounds like something completely different and unrelated, and it doesn't start until November 10th.

That's last year's commercial (even though the video was posted this year). Notice at the end it says it airs "all next week", and next week isn't November 11th. ;)

Then maybe this is what Stephen remembers.  :yes:

Then the point still remains, this show is not what you remember. It's completely different.

It's different, but it still has the "Cantore's Stories" title; that's why I said it wasn't new. Though I suppose that since it's going to be different from the original CS special, it's kind of new.

Post by: beanboy89 on October 29, 2008, 07:40:20 PM
Apparently Jim will be in Barrow, Alaska for the show, hence the "Top of the World" title.

It's actually not that bad there right now; they're in the 20's.

LOL, getting my teeth pulled is easier than this.

I can't see how a show can only be kinda new just because it has a SIMILAR title. It has nothing to do with SS, unlike Cantore's Stories. It is a completey different and totally unrelated show.

Ok seriously - Cantore looks terrible without hair.

Geez, he's only been bald for a decade now.  :P :D

I don't think it made much difference in his appearance. Its not like he had all that much hair before he chose to shave what was left off.

Did Jim become completely bald the past decade, or does he just shave his whole head nowadays?
Title: Re: Another new show?
Post by: lfmusiclover on November 05, 2008, 08:23:23 AM
He shaves it. He was 99% bald anyway, so he probably figured what the heck, why not get rid of the rest!  :biggrin:

Why is the "theme" music made up of marimbas and steel drums? I don't get it, I don't like it.

To my surprise Cantore Stories is apparently scheduled to re-air tonight at the same time, 10 PM ET.

I wouldn't be surprised to see it air on Wednesday as well.

Yep I saw a commercial earlier today that said Cantore stories was coming on at 10.  :yes:
