The show moved from its time-slot of 9 PM on Mondays to 8 PM. Fans failed to spot it and thought it got cancelled. It got taken of the air for three weeks, and then started airing on Wednesdays. Meanwhile, the Travel Channel's website insisted it was still airing on Mondays. The show finally moved to Saturdays, but the Travel Channel's website insisted it was airing on Wednesdays. Fans gave up looking for the show, and the ratings dropped. Many fans also got annoyed by Peters' "Tell it like it is" style of travel reporting. The show will be cancelled after the current season (season two). |
