As I watched last week's episode of TLC's Extreme Couponing, I noticed they were advertising next week's episode as the "season finale". That can only mean that another season of the show is in the works. Guess the "if you want to be on the show" ad should have been a dead give away, huh?
I have been a dedicated supporter of this show through all of the negative feedback from other long-time couponers. I'm a new couponer and I owe my interest in couponing to that show. As do many other newbies. We've all got to start somewhere!
I eagerly tune in each week to see what kind of savings these couponers come up with and, more than anything, to see what kind of spin the producers put on the people. When their 15-minutes of fame is up, the couponers are really not painted in the most flattering manner. I think a lot of the interview comments are taken out of context, which is unfortunate.
But, do we really need another season of Extreme Couponing? I think anyone who watches a few shows can more than get an idea of how to coupon. The real info comes from the websites/blogs devoted to couponing, don't you think? I can't foresee a lot of twists or turns for another season. Couponing is pretty strait forward. I'm just not sure I'll be tempted to tune in for another season. What about you?
Thanks again, and happy couponing!
