Just sent this. I feel much better now.

Dear CBC:

First, welcome back. I've missed you. I was very strong-minded during the lockout and did not watch or listen to CBC radio or TV, because that would have been Bad and Wrong.

But second, why are you trying so hard to make me so crazy? This Is Wonderland's official site (www.thisiswonderland.com) tells me that Season 3 is starting Wednesday, November 23 at 8 p.m. However, both your TV schedule and George Stromboulopoulos tell me that The Nature of Things will be airing in that slot now and forever, amen. Your This Is Wonderland page (www.cbc.ca/wonderland) is still showing information for Season 2. I watched Season 2. It was good. It started LAST JANUARY, i.e. 9 months ago if you're counting.

I love the show. It's a great show. I would like to recommend it to other people, but it would really help if I knew for sure when it was going to be on.

(And by the way, waiting until the Friday before the season premiere to launch a new site the way you did for Da Vinci's City Hall? Will not be helpful either.)

Much love,

me

For some reason TV stations/networks seem to forget about updating their websites in a timely fashion. For the longest time during season four of Queer As Folk, Showcase's website was still showing season three's information. I didn't check it often enough to see when they finally got around to updating it. They're still indicating (http://www.showcase.ca/queerasfolk/) that it's on Mondays at 10, even though the show ended months ago. (Though they might still be showing repeats, I don't know.)

Showcase does that. I think there's often an element of "we must have a website because all the cool kids have websites, but after the initial excitement we're not going to do anything with it and it will just stagnate."

As I may have mentioned elsewhere, fansites never* have this problem.

*OK, unless I'm running them
