No idea. It was a good show for sure, I used to watch it all the time.

Could be. Some channels have been dropped lately, and I get an occasional scrolling message on others that say they're being "upgraded". That guide is all but useless anyway, I kept it on most of the day recently trying to find the special on Pluto.

I have a Time Warner Cable account and still have the cable connected to my TV, but I don't use it, preferring instead to watch my favorite shows via my Roku 1 streaming player and LG Blu-ray. Couldn't care less what happens to the channel packages on TW's Standard TV service. The guide channel is now on TW's digital tiers only, on channel 230 if memory serves me correctly.

The Roku players already have a program guide, accessed through the main menu after clicking on the TWC TV app on the home screen, so the loss of the Time Warner analog program guide channel (formerly on channel 13 in my area) doesn't bother me. The only thing I wondered about at first was why the on-screen program guide from the Roku shows the local TV stations on their analog channel positions, rather than their actual channel numbers; for example, CBS channel 19 in Cleveland is listed as channel 4 on the guide, channel 25 (PBS) is listed as channel 10, and so on. I asked about this on TWC's Roku forum and was informed that the guide is indeed out of date; however, when or even if the guide will be rewritten to show the network stations on their correct channels remains to be seen.
