TAR should have had 2 hour finales anyway. It makes a lot more sense. I
would have liked to have seen reunion shows, too.

I'm surprised that the concept of after-shows for reality competitions
hasn't really caught on here like it has in the UK. They get really into the
show on the minor networks with companion shows for "The Apprentice" and
"Big Brother" amongst others. Here, if there is an official show, it's
always online. I think if you put such a show on a cable network owned by
the broadcast network, it might do fairly well. I can imagine a "Dancing
With the Stars" wrapup show doing well on Lifetime or something.

The only show I can think of that does anything like this on cable is
Bravo's "Watch What's On".
