No more Property Ladder, AMC Shootout
For all you Property Ladder fans, I just thought I’d let you know to enjoy any episodes you see in repeats on TLC. Word from the network is that they currently have no plans to make further installments of Property Ladder. Such careful wording (as opposed to “canceled”) leaves an opening for a possible reincarnation at some point, but as I said in an earlier Property Ladder post , the current state of the economy and housing market doesn’t fit well with a show about inexperienced house flippers.
In other news, ironically after I’d just given the show a shout out, Shootout (aka Sunday Morning Shootout) with the two Peters (Bart and Guber) is leaving AMC. The vague word given by the hosts is that it will be moving to another network and time, but no details about the move were given. I’m guessing AMC wouldn’t be too keen to let them advertise for another network on their last show, but Peter Bart gives no further information on his blog at Variety, either. If I find out any more details about the end of Shootout’s six year run and possible future network, I’ll let you know.
