After the curler lady/baseball game epsiode aired, they showed a repeat of the first epsiode. I'm guessing it was the last show of the series. I wonder, were they only able to get enough decent footage to use for the majority of the episodes but then scrambled for content to fill in the very last one? Could that be why the final episode sucked?

It looks like next week's first installment is a new one, followed by another repeat (I looked it up on TV Guide OnLine). Perhaps that's how they will be doing it from now on? For those who keep forgetting to watch, there's a "remind me to watch" link you can click on their website, where you can get an e-mail reminder...Airline Website One of the things I find interesting is how they refuse boarding to drunk/obnoxious people. On our flight to Vegas a couple of years ago, there was a whole freaking gaggle of drunk college age boys on their way to a bachelor party. They were drunk, playing cards, betting, shouting, laughing at the top of their lungs (you know, that loud drunken boisterous laugh guys can do), and seated all around me. I had a headache by the time we landed.

I still think this is just a free advertisement for the airline. The producers will never show the airline in a bad light and will do their best to show passengers as crazy, only way to get ratings and keep a show. When they show me rude, obnoxious and indifferent airline employees just once, maybe I will believe this is reality. I dont see this show going anywhere.

just caught the episode that was on tonight-pretty sure it was a repeat. The one where they lose the mans luggage on his way to his brothers funeral and they also refuse to let the girls who were drunk onto their flight to Vegas. I am glad those girls were refused onto the plane and I hope they watched this show and saw just how ugly they were (personality wise) and I hope to GOD they chose to have a SOBER drive take them to Vegas! Can't believe they opted to drive in that condition. Yikes

Whoa whoa whoa... So, let me get this straight: If someone is too drunk they can't fly SW, but the airline nor the film crew stop the guy from driving? They filmed him get in his car and drive away. That is so not cool. And while I still find this show warm and fuzzy, are you telling me the biggest drama that goes on at SW is dealing with drunk people? There's a drunk person story in almost every episode. Is that the best the producers could pull out of all the footage?

That was my problem when watching this show. Twice now I have seen them turn someone away from being too drunk and then the film crew just follows them off into a car. It is extremely disturbing. Where is airport security/police in that situation? Where is the logic? Like those girls-they were too loud and obnoxious to get on the plane so lets just send them out to drive to Vegas drunk! I would rather sit next to a drunk on the plane then know they were being kicked off and were getting behind the wheel of a car.

Just caught bits & pieces of last nite's show but I was appalled that the guy too drunk to fly was allowed by all present to drive away in his car.. What is up with that anyway? I totally agree with Scorpiomoon & Sillycalimomma's posts.

Ok, the novelty of this show is wearing off for me. We get that SW employees are goofy but competent, people who fly on SW are eccentric and can be really stupid and the most unexpected things happen behind the scenes at an airport. What more can they fill these episodes with?

I am finding it tedious now as well, and starting to wonder why so much footage is of Yolanda... don't they have other staff they can showcase? There's really not much else they can show us - if all they're prepared to put on is a bunch of fluff... I had hoped it would get a little more 'real'

I do like the show, but have been tired of supervisor Yolanda. Also, tired of the other supervisor -- the gay man who works alongside of Yolanda.

I lost interest in this show weeks ago. It just seemed like a commercial for the airline. We never saw the ugly side of airline travel, we only were shown the ugly side of the passengers. I am sure I am not the only one who can recount at least one story about an airline from hell experience.

Has anyone seen the Alaska Airlines commercial with the guy with the banjo? It is hilarious, and ends with the line (I'm paraphrasing) -- "At Alaska Airlines, you'll never get a song and dance..." I'm completely convinced that the commercial is a dig at Southwest and the "quirkiness" they displayed in this show.
