WPT extended reruns?, magnus, 21. Aug 2003 10:47
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List

I was watching one of the reruns of WPT last night, figuring that I should revisit the shows that got me started with poker now when I have some more knowledge.

All of a sudden I noticed hands that I had no recollection off. "Hmm, am I getting that old?" I was thinking, until I realized that the show was 2 hours long!!!
The original shows was only 1 hour, or am I totally wrong here?

It looks like they have extended the show and put more hands in. I guess the popularity of Poker have made Travel Channel realize they can get a lot more mileage (and advertising $) out of these shows....

Great, I'm not complaining. The more poker, the better.

I don't recall the Travel Channel airing an hour long episode, as long as I've been watching they've always been two hours (even the repeats).

I guess I'm getting old.......

or could it be that I notice things now (with a little bit of knowledge) that I couldn't see before?

and that I was just too into the show the first time around that I didn't realize it was 2 hours long?

Strange....

Don't worry, we're all getting older. the original 12 episodes were all 2 hours long. then 2 specials were added--they were one hour each

you were just enthralled the first time lol
