That is just plain sad. They never promoted enough to get the audience they needed. I came across it by accident one day on TLC. I had no idea there was even a show called Starting Over.
I agree. I never saw SO promoted and also discovered it quite by accident. Even then, it took a few inadvertent viewings to really take notice. if it had been promoted and the overall premise been advertised, along with some of the women's stories, I would have tuned in earlier and consistently. I think that kind of promotion would have generated a lot more viewers. It's a Catch-22, in that without a lot of viewers, advertisers don't buy as much time or the show doesn't generate high advertising dollars, and then the less advertising there is, the fewer the viewers who know about the show. I wish there had been more of an investment in the show, to build out the viewership and revenue and keep the show going.
