(My bet as to response: "Oh, we thought you and your friends would appreciate knowing when the next episode of the show will be on. We do this as a service to potential viewers. Thank you for your comments. Please watch Dirty Jobs, with new episodes appearing every Monday evening.")

I wasn't far off. First response came from a robot and said they were really busy and would try to get a response out soon, and in the meantime I should come on down to discovery.com and see that shows they were offering when. Apparently their motto might be: Never miss an opportunity to insult a viewer with more marketing hype.
Second response looks like it came from a robot -- or from a person acting like one. It totally ignored my direct questions and thanked me for sharing my thoughts. Total whoosh. Form letter.
Shame on you, Discovery TV. I now see you as dropping in quality.
I would still welcome some interaction with BAUT member
DiscoveryTV. Show us you're a real person and you're not just a shill for a soulless corporation.
