| I guess they were removed! Someone controlling the message board didn't like the negative vibe over the re-run of episode 9, instead of the finale. As you can imagine people had posted their disappointment in not getting to see the last episode. And I assume Fox will proceed with their programming as advertised, without bumping any show to play the Long Way Down finale. Very, very disappointing . . . especially as it's the only show worth watching on their network . . . oops! Now this posting will disappear! |

I guess Fox Realiy figures it's economically easier to delete all of the complaints rather than admit their mistake, issue an apology and free up some progamming space to correct the problem by airing the correct episode. That's one reason the Fox brand of channels were, are and always will be second rate networks  |

As far as I can tell we were plain old removed. Guess it got too nasty. Unfortunate - because all we want is to know when the last episode will be on.
I emailed Fox Feedback, no response as yet. Out of desparation I emailed Long Way Down and the American Motorcycle Association (as a member) to see if they could help out with either contacts or some type of "influence". Nothing yet from anyone.
I thought that once they deleted my thread, they would put up an announcement on a new schedule, or possibly email me - - but........ |

| I called Fox Reality Programming today and they told me they are aware of the error and do not have an airdate for the finale, but will probably post something soon. Their number 310-689-1500. Press one, and then the option for the programming department. |

Thanks for taking the time call and post the followup. I was really irritated to see the previous thread had been removed. At least they are planning on a future airing. |

Thank you for the follow-up, good job!
If Fox doesn't announce the new schedule on this thread, and it still exists, one of us can post it here.
Maybe we've been Punk'd |

| \"Long Way Down\" was the only decent thing on Fox Reality and the only reason I ever tuned in. They have to make good on the finale, what is the point of airing this show otherwise? There are plenty of shows that could be bumped for one hour of this quality program. I called that programming number and ask that everyone else do so as well! |

I can collaborate your information. Received this information via email today from Fox Reality VP.
\"You are, unfortunately, correct - we did not air the final episode last Saturday 10/4 due to human error.
We apologize.
Please tune-in this Friday at 4p PT/7p ET for the finale of LONG WAY DOWN.\"
Thank you Fox Reality! |

Thanks for letting us know!
I feel bad for the people who will be tuning in this Saturday for the finale. A 10-second message at the regular time on Saturday, saying that the finale will be aired at such-and-such a time, would have taken care of this. Unfortunately, it will have aired already. |

I was one of those who tuned in for the show on Saturday night and found it missing - from it's regular timeslot and from the upcoming schedule. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
The way they treat their viewers is shameful. I'll certainly think twice before I decide to watch a series on their network. This was a quality documentary/show and they gave it and it's fans and viewers the finger by not airing it in it's regular timeslot. By not rerunning it so people who weren't privy to the early and out of sync airing disrespects the viewers and the producers of the show. |

| If you missed the last episode and you have a netflix or blockbuster-online account, you should be able to rent just the disc that has the last episode. |

| I hope the incompetent programmer who robbed us os the finale has been since fired. The unprofessionalism and disregard for viewers is astounding. And to never re-air it during another time slot is mind boggling. Will NEVER get involved in a Fox Reality show again - sorry mates - I don't appreciate the way this was handled. When my brother opens his Christmas gift, the DVD, I will have to explain why it is unwrapped and pre-viewed. Thanks a lot, Fox Reality, for really f'ing up. |
