No love from RTE?

SoSueMe

I have not seen one trailer or piece of promotion anywhere for season 2. Last year the promoted the hell out of it.

Another thing, would it have been better to delay it 2 weeks considering a lot of its audience is doing their leaving cert (including me).

I saw a few ads this week for it.
Shameful treatment for such a high quality show.
They couldnt find room for it on the schedule yet they could show csi dublin and its wretched spin offs.

Hadn't heard anything about it. When's it starting back? Have I already missed any?

I've seen a few ads, heard a few on the radio and read a few articles.. about time it's back though.

Maybe you're just not watching TV enough? I must've seen the ad over 10 times now, since Monday night. I hear the radio ad on 2fm at least 3 or 4 times a day while I'm at work, too.

If you cant wait that long, Xtravision have been renting the first 12 episodes of season 2 for the last week or so ...

Killaqueen!!!

Can't wait til Monday?

I prefer no promotion. As long as people know it's on. I hate when they show clips from the upcoming episodes..just gives it away.

Can't wait though! It's been so long since I've seen Wentworth Miller.....

rte are one of the biggest cultripts of that, but sky 1 are far by the worst.

Doesnt matter to me, Ive seen the whole series ages ago.

Agreed they ruined a major bit of the new Sopranos with their promo for it. Sky likes to sumarise the entire episode into one handy promo.

I know it might seem like it but leaving certers are not 'a lot' of anything... and I saw piles of ads for prison break everywhere. an annoying amount in fact. maybe you were studying!

Will anyone be watching this season then or has everyone rented/downloaded the season already??

Then you would get people complaining just like they did for The Sopranos when that was delayed a whole one week.

Like many others on this board I've seen the whole series already but I'll probably still flit in and out of it. I'll join in the discussion threads too (just to complain about plot-holes though:D ).

nothing else to watch over summer -heroes is on at same time and finishes soon!

so yes i shall
although only 1 week till final ep on five.........

just saw an ad for next weeks show on RTÉ 2.
Have to say they gave away what looks to be basically the whole storyline of the show in 30 secs. feckin ridiculous..

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Seen the whole series already, but I think I'll be watching again, because it seems so long since I've seen it. I don't think they need to advertise it much do they? Surely people have known for ages it was to take either the LOST or Desperate Housewives timeslot. Does it take that much effort to look at a newspaper? I never watch ads, but I never seem to miss anything I want to see. Always know when things are coming back.

I havent seen the ad, but it's what they do.
I rewatched the first episode on RTE, seems so long since I saw it first.
Still very good though.

well i don't want to spoil it, but it looked to be scenes from the very start of the episode to the very end..

I don't mind if you tell me. I have seen all of season 2 already.

ok then anyone who hasn't seen it don't read (and don't tell me anything that they didn't spoil for me)

they showed them discussing having to rescue the kid, then they showed them pulling him out of an elevator which he was in with the fbi guys at the courthouse, then they showed them driving off but that one of them gets shot during the get away..

That's the same promo they used in the States as far as I remember.

I try not to watch promos usually and I hate seeing them on rte and not flicking over to smth else fast enough.
One benefit of watching it along with the US I suppose, I dont have to worry about promos anymore.

irish_bob

i tend to agree with whoever said that the promo for prison break on rte was pretty minimal
well in comparison to the amount of promo for the phonomenolly over rated LOST
