Title: Why I Love Summer Week is next week
Post by: Mike M on July 10, 2009, 04:05:28 PM
TWC never advertised this yet, but according to my Comcast guide a Why I Love Summer special and episodes of Epic Conditions and WeatherVentures will be airing throughout the week next week (July 13) as part of WILS week.

They have also posted this in their FB page. I still expect more longform to come  <_<

My Time Warner guide confirms what Mike and Ana have found.  The first "Why I Love Summer" special will air on Monday at 2 PM EDT with Stephanie Abrams hosting.  There will indeed be more long-form programming to go along with it sadly. :(

Imo i think its a waste just for TWC to invest time and money into this bull, they should maybe rethink their investments for shows and updates for their fans not business.

Agreed, there's way too many of these "special weeks." Out of all of them, the only ones that I would keep is Tornado Week and Hurricane Week. The rest is garbage.

The half-hour special is not a bad idea, but everything else is rather unnecessary.  I think they should just do the special alone and leave the long-form programming out of it.

I agree. I dont mind the occasional special but not having it shoved down your throat every show.

I must say that I like the WILS lower thirds. They remind me of the 2007-2008 graphics.
