I watched bits and pieces of his show, and I was kind of bored.  :hmm:

I don't like this show at all. :no: Although I will admit the pictures are nice, the "format" and all the associated Bing crap is just bleh.

I'd rather have a weather report. I don't like seeing him walk around and talking in an annoying accent and constantly talking about getting the lightning right. This show needs to be canceled, enough shown. Show WEATHER PROOF, a show that I actually can use the info conveyed. Enough said.

I would actually think of watching this show if they had Peter Lik do photography assignments from recent significant weather events like this past tornado outbreak.  If it's just photography to show off his skills, then I'm watching something else.

TWC has a new promo for the show

"Millions of fans think From The Edge with Peter Lik is Picture Perfect!"

They also showed "Millions of people like this. with a TWC logo on the right side"

Showing the Facebook like icon throughout the promo.

There were also promos for a new episode last Tuesday Night, though it was pre-empted due to severe weather coverage.

Looking at that Vimeo channel, TWC doesn't make their promos? I thought they had a in-house graphics team.

That makes people think that millions of people "like" From the Edge on Facebook, which definately is not the case.

About 14,000 people "liked" From the Edge, with several of the people working for TWC (For example Jen Carfagno and Dr. Greg Forbes). TWC ARE LIARS!  :o

Its an advertising technique.. everyone does things like that..

in fact those promos with OCMs on sight are likely just them standing in front of a key wall and stock footage
I've gone off on a journey to be a moderator at another forum, but this place will forever remain home for me~

His show even has an iPad app
Really? Why? What does it do?
It allows you to watch iPad only episodes and videos and interviews....A TV show is OK BUT AN IPAD APP? :nono: TWC really hyped Peter Lik too much.   :rolleyes:

Yeah, an IPad App to see some Crocodile Dundee knockoff take pictures.  :hammer: :rolleyes: :yawn:

So why does Peter Lik's show warrant showing a transparent TWC logo with no LDL? I guess an LDL would distract from the pictures, but I still want my weather information. :hammer:
