Hope this is posted in the right section.

I just watched this at 3pm EST on Planet Green HD channel 286 Directv
this first aired in 2001 so many of you may have seen this before but I sure didn't
anyway they are showing it again on:

April 6, 9am EST its worth watching I must say, so set those dvr's  :89-

Dang!  It looks like this is a subscription channel with Directv...at least in my case anyway.

Hope it's a good one!

It might be available in a torrent, for those who do such things. I didn't try it to see if the file was legitimate.

IMDB indicates that the program was released in 2001, so it's going to be a bit out of date.
It doesn't have 5 votes, yet. Maybe we can change that...  :79-  :91-  :96-

One thing I did find impressive was they showed someone at IGT
putting on some reel strips faster than a speeding bullet and I thought I was fast  :89-
not to mention some other behind the scenes stuff at IGT in which I got a chuckle out of.

Another part talked about and explained the RNG
worth watching for those available.

I caught part of it last weekend. I'll have to try & catch it again & see the whole thing.
When the wife told me the other day it was half over.
