Sky Replay has now closed. I'll try and upload the signoff tonight. You can also say goodbye to any Living endcaps currently on TV as 6ixth Sense and Four Weddings are no longer airing. Most Haunted still airs on Sky Sci-Fi at least, but the first and last Living logos look to be extinct on TV now...

The Fall Guy finishes its run on LEGEND next week too, with The A-Team taking its place, sadly not a new show to LEGEND. Expect a rundown of the logos you can see on The Fall Guy very soon!

GREAT! action pulled a Bonanza this evening. The Baron was scheduled to begin today, but an episode of The New Avengers aired instead. I kind of had a feeling it would be pulled since just like Bonanza, GREAT! didn't schedule the show from the very beginning and instead scheduled a random episode. Still, this is the second time that a show was scheduled to air on GREAT! action only for it to not air. The Bonanza incident not only was in July, but the show was scheduled to air again in August, and it still never aired! I have no idea what's going on behind the scenes but the same mishap happening twice must mean something. I seriously hope these shows do officially premiere on GREAT! at some point. I'm quite disappointed seeing a show due to air, then it gets pulled last minute. Would be nice to let GREAT! know we want to see Bonanza and The Baron finally air, but I think getting GREAT!'s attention proves difficult. I'm not trying to start a movement, but it would be nice if more people could let GREAT! know about these scheduling decisions.

Also, doing all these US TV captures for my The American Logo Archive channel, and it's making me realise how many logos are pretty much extinct over here, and some were even extinct back in 2018 when I began logo hunting. I've already found four Screen Gems sightings, meanwhile I've only seen the S from Hell on I Dream of Jeannie on Rewind TV and previously Forces TV. I've also found two NBC Snakes already, the only NBC Snake I saw on TV was on that I Dream of Jeannie episode. Episodes of Bonanza with the NBC Snake did air here on CBS Action in 2018, but the logo was always cut, I did see an episode where you could see a frame of the logo kept though. Even thinking about it, some logos I've only seen on TV movies on True (TriStar Television, Lorimar) and some logos I haven't seen on TV at all since I began hunting (Turner, Paramount Closet Killer, Colex, LBS). Obviously the US will always be the best in terms of US logos, but it's always been so lackluster in terms of US finds on UK TV. I know there'll always be a bunch of new shows making the rounds every now and then still, but there's a lot of logos I feel like should be a lot more common over here, but they're either extinct or only have a few surviving sources. I suppose I could maybe make a video comparing UK TV and US TV, because I could ramble on about this for a good while and it seriously isn't worth your time.

when linear tv so boring that you feel nothing even when looking back at old finds from 2018-2019...

I think I need a change of scenery for a bit, don't worry, The American Logo Archive will be coming soon, I just need to see if it's possible to buy Frndly TV or Philo first with a VPN, either way I plan on uploading more online finds on there. British ones will remain here however.

Sky Replay looks to be shutting down on October 30, marking the end of the channel after 29 years, when it first launched as Sky2. Knowing the channel aired repeats of LivingTV shows 6ixth Sense with Colin Fry and Four Weddings during the morning hours along with occasional repeats of other shows I seriously wish they aired more archival shows that Sky own. In terms of Living logos on TV, it looks like the only place you'll find any of these now are Most Haunted on Sky Sci-Fi, and since they don't air the first season and the show never used the 2010 Living logo, the 2001 and 2010 (or 2009 according to AVID although I'm sure that logo debuted in 2010) Living logos will very likely be extinct on TV for a long time, so make sure to get captures of those logos when you can!

Sky Replay could've been a great channel to air some obscure Flextech shows in my opinion, but sadly Sky Replay just chose to air the same stuff over and over again instead of variety. I'm sure there's a lot of Living/Bravo shows Sky could still air if they wanted to but just refuse to release them anywhere. Shame, but I mean the channel is called Sky REPLAY so.

I've uploaded a 2022 Sky Replay continuity here before, I might have some other Sky Replay footage that I'll upload once the channel closes.

Found a solution to the UK TV drought... ish. I've been recording reruns of shows and capturing the logos on there again, although I'm only taking screenshots of them and not video captures. Proves that there's still decent finds on TV, makes everything a lot more laid out, and it's nice to rediscover them, although it's kind of sad how Viacom/Paramount logos are a lot harder to find on TV, and the 1988 Worldvision logo only has one source now.

I also plan on finally buying more DVDs in the future. I've been checking stores near me and I've seen a few interesting ones, there's also a bunch of cool finds on DVDs I already own that I'll try and get up when I can.

One DVD store near me is a scam, heh. I saw a Little House on the Prairie DVD, but when I opened it there was no disc. This has happened to me before so I usually just check if there's an actual disc inside before actually buying it. I find Amazon to be the best with DVDs though, especially if you're looking for something specific. I got a lot of my DVDs from there, such as my The Tube, The Baron, Danny Dyer's Deadliest Men and Most Haunted DVDs.

Not a lot of Hanna-Barbera stuff reruns these days, so I might buy a couple of Hanna-Barbera DVDs. I did see a Hong Kong Phooey DVD while looking so hopefully the Worldvision logo is intact on the first episode. I've yet to see any Turner logos on TV (well, prior to 2018, when I began properly logo hunting, I actually did see a Turner logo years ago on Boomerang) so hopefully finding one on physical media will be easier. I've been collecting DVDs for a while, but only very seldom. Thankfully I've been collecting a lot more recently, and I'm excited to upload whatever I find.

Today's announcements:

- My (private) Discord server has shut down. No one really talked in it to be honest and I don't see a need for it. Maybe I'll reopen it to the public at some point if demand is high. Sorry for any inconvenience, especially to those who were in it.

- The American Logo Archive channel will likely launch in October now. Again, I'm considering buying Frndly TV if possible, maybe it'll work with a VPN or something. If I can't get it, don't worry, you'll see occasional streaming captures as well as any online finds, but I've seriously fallen out of the latter. Just I seriously want to mine US TV channels since at this rate I've checked everything on UK TV already.

- Speaking of UK linear TV, I seriously wish I still found enjoyment in it. Granted, I've been searching logos on there for seven whole years and obviously I've seen everything at this point. The only logos left I need to capture are ones that are pretty easy to miss, but still pop up occasionally, as well as stuff from the ITV/Channel 5/That's/Rewind channels, which I have only seldom covered on this channel since I can't record the channels despite me having them. I could consider buying a Freeview box or something for those channels but not 100% sure how those would work in Ireland. I've heard about combo boxes with both Saorview and Freeview channels too. Again, something I'll look into.

Sometimes I wish I could have a fresh start in terms of me looking for logos on TV. Just seeing everything for the first time again and capturing everything again. There's still cool finds on TV, but most of them I have in my collection already. I know there will be more finds of interest coming up on TV again soon, but I seriously want to get back more into logos now. If I have pretty much everything and can only seldom find new stuff that I'm interested in, what's the point? Also part of the reason why I want to check US channels now, there's a lot I'd like to capture there even if it's been found before. Would be nice if there was like a whole new refresh of TV schedules with new content to explore, but for now we just got to check schedules and wait for anything new.

I have been considering maybe deleting everything in my collection but I know very well that's a bad idea, mainly since there's many logos that have yet to be uploaded to this channel. I just wish there was a way to make logo finding on TV good again. Maybe I'll only delete the logos I have uploaded to the channel already or something? I don't even know at this point.

I have also been buying more DVDs, so at least there's another option for me. Maybe I should focus on getting every logo I want on DVD if possible or something? I would do it for linear TV too, but most I've found already. It's just that I want to start a new era somehow. This won't affect the channel at all, in fact I don't have any plans to delete my collection of logos because I know that's an awful idea. But again, linear TV is my priority, and while I still capture stuff from there a lot, I just wish it was all new to me, in a way.

Series rundown I was going to upload has been delayed to Saturday. Apologies about this, but there are a couple of finds I'd like to upload tomorrow. Plus, the rundown will be divided into two parts, meaning you'll get the first half Saturday and the other half Sunday.
