Title: How many nights a week do you watch Storm Stories?
Post by: beanboy89 on March 10, 2008, 02:20:28 PM: I was just looking at the Storm Stories site (http://www.weather.com/aboutus/television/stormstories/) on weather.com, and they're running a quite amusing poll asking "How many nights a week do you watch Storm Stories?"

As soon as I saw that, I chuckled, because first off, Storm Stories doesn't run at night anymore, secondly, after viewing the results, the majority of voters (38%) chose None. One and Three are nearly tied with 18%, and Five and Seven are slightly lesser amounts (with 8% and 16%, respectively).

If the majority of people who visit the site don't watch the show, I believe it's safe to say TWC should cancel it. :whistling: It'd be really nice to have the 2:00 PM ET hour of programming back.

Post by: Localonthe8s on March 10, 2008, 05:27:59 PM: I hope it's gone for good. I used to like the earler shows but the recent ones have gone downhill

Post by: wxmediafan on March 23, 2008, 12:54:54 PM: I think Storm Stories was a successful show, and if it wasn't, TWC wasted a lot of money one making new ones. But, I think is all just started getting old, and similar stories played over and over again.

That poll is EXTREMELY old though :P I remember taking that a long time ago. And besides, it isn't accurate, because you can go right back and vote again

That's why those shows don't show 7 days a week, and never have new shows

Btw..lets call them by the real name..those names are kind of lame :whistling: The only made up name that works is Storm Bories :P

Post by: Localonthe8s on March 23, 2008, 02:45:13 PM: I used to like the earlier episodes of SS. The newer episodes stunk. Plus most of them are about Hurricane Latrina

Post by: lfmusiclover on March 23, 2008, 03:24:24 PM: That's Katrina. :whistling:

Anyway, I didn't mind SS too much until they gave it more spinoffs than Law & Order. :rolleyes:

Post by: Gil on March 23, 2008, 05:05:16 PM: Well first off, I haven't seen Storm Storied (period) since June, so I was not aware that they had a new narrator or anything like that.

Second, I don't watch it at all (obviously).

Third, I was at Costco the other day and saw the Storm Storie collector DVD's. Only $13. :rofl2:

Post by: stormymikala on March 23, 2008, 08:37:38 PM: I haven't been watching Storm Stories as much even though Iike the show.One episode I like that hasn't been shown in a few years is the 1hour Hurricane Andrew episode.
Title: Re: How many nights a week do you watch Storm Stories?
Post by: wxmediafan on March 24, 2008, 10:16:37 AM: I also liked the earlier episodes. My favorite being Hurriane Andrew, and the Belleville, Illinois Tornado, also the La Plata, MD Tornado. I also like the OKC and Xenia tornadoes too. The Katrina episode wasn't that baad either
Title: Re: How many nights a week do you watch Storm Stories?
Post by: lfmusiclover on March 24, 2008, 10:36:59 AM: I liked the La Plata one too (but only cause I'm a Marylander :P ).
Title: Re: How many nights a week do you watch Storm Stories?
Post by: beanboy89 on March 24, 2008, 10:57:44 AM: I suppose it's worth noting that the poll and the original Storm Stories website I linked to in the first post is now gone; the link redirects to weather.com/tv. Storm Stories still does have a website (http://www.weather.com/tv/programs/stormstories.html?from=tv_welc_mainpreview2), but it's nowhere as extensive as their previous site.

Post by: Localonthe8s on March 24, 2008, 12:01:27 PM: I liked the La plata, MD tornado and HUrricane Jeanne episodes. I like that one episode where three hurricanes struck a lion sanctuary in Florida.
Title: Re: How many nights a week do you watch Storm Stories?
Post by: Logica on March 24, 2008, 12:07:24 PM: I liked the Hurricane Frances one with the Tiger Santuary and Hurricane Andrew, and Hurricane Mitch and Hurricane Opal (My favorite episode)

Yea, my bad :whistling: :blushing:

I don't know why I liked that one. Maybe because it had to do with school, and was in Illinois, just like the tornado I experienced..

Post by: lightning10 on March 31, 2008, 12:45:49 PM: Well since my cable company got rid of a lot of stations on my basic cable I have the weather channel on a lot more.
