Because of what Food Network did last year, airing the HBC (Halloween Baking Championship) Season 8 season-long scarathon at 2 PM EDT starting with Episode 2 which made me angered because Episode 1 was the one I missed out on due to unscheduled storm-based power outages, I've been trying to be vigilant this year checking TV schedules for the scarathons of HBC and Halloween Wars.

Fast forward to now... When I read that FN wouldn't have any scarathons on Monday September 18 nor September 25, I let my guard down, not thinking to use my screenreader to search for "Halloween". The consequences of that? I got home after my sister's birthday meal just before 3 PM and I could have caught Season 8 from the beginning today! So I'm mad at myself for not having that foresight.

What's worse... I know Cooking Channel will air the HBC S7 scarathon on Friday October 6, starting with Episode 3 at 6 PM which I will watch along with the following episode since FN will air the same season scarathon the following day on Saturday October 7 :smile:batty:'s birthday) at 3 PM. But do I think Cooking Channel will air HBC S8? Yes. Do I think they'll air it starting from Episode 1 based on the planned airing of S7 as mentioned? Not sure.

So I'll probably tune in but will most likely have to wait till next year. :grrr:

So Michelle Trachtenberg just recently passed away at the very young age of 39. This is so sad. My brother and I watched Harriett the Spy a lot, and to be honest, when Michelle got older, I found her really attractive. We don't know how she passed just yet, but I assume she unfortunately turned to drugs like a lot of former child stars. It's sad how show business can have a really harsh effect on children.

Yeah, I read that last year fans were worried about her health after a recent photo showed her underweight and jaundiced. It’s a shame she seemed so in denial about it.

If anything watching "Quiet on Set" really exposed just how incredibly careless and dangerous Hollywood is with looking after and taking good care of their actors, but more importantly, child actors.

But, yeah. A shame to hear she lost her life at such a young age.

I was very sad to hear that Michelle Trachtenberg has passed away. I do offer my condolences to her family, and may she rest in peace.
