Surprised they couldnā€™t get the reboot of Great Outdoors ready for after the AFL GF last night

The production, crew and budget for Melbourne Weekender may have gone into The Great Outdoors?

Wouldnā€™t most of the budget for either program be paid by sponsors?

Probably explains where they got all the extra money from.

Until a few years latter when they revive the idea for a few weeks, before putting it back into the draw again.

Maybe itā€™s just on during the AFL season?

Bit weird if so. Youā€™d think the show should be on year-round to gain traction with viewers.
Postcards runs in repeat-mode over Summer from memory.

They wonā€™t be able to air it over the AFL season next year, as they will have AFL most, if not, every Sunday during the season.

I would imagine now would be the best time to air it, since there is not much sport on, and people would be starting to plan summer trips, outings, etc.

They played all the episodes in the seasonā€¦ except 1.

It was a short season.

I do believe there is 1 unaired episodes and can check if there is any interest
