Very Good Show, But Get Rick Steves Off The Air

That ego guy sticks his face everywhere and is boring as *** Stop those shorts from him after the quality programming because these shorts suck and detract from the previous program. Would not do anything Rick Steves recommends or buy anything he sells. PBS has good programming and should stick to what they do best. The bad ads and programs like Rick Steves detract from their reputation. Lose him somewhere in Europe and don't bring him back.

User's recommendation: Don't watch his shows or buy anything from him.

The guy is super dull and a turn off. When he comes on, I turn him off and then do not watch PBS.

Misled/not informed on Gift Card purchase

My grandchildren (Christmas visit from out of state) were given Hibbett Sports cards from our area of the country. There was no reason to believe that the card could not be used for online purchases so no worry over the Christmas gift card or location of Hibbett stores in their area. Of all the cards I have purchased, or been given, (from well-known stores offering and encouraging "gift cards" and having advertised online sites for purchase of merchandise) none have ever been known NOT to accept their very own gift cards! This is the 21st century and there were more online purchases this year than any year prior. The age of buyers has increased dramatically and with this we have seen more shopping on line. However, there is also an increase in online spending with the middle age group and younger customers as well. You do the research! Now I know that Hibbett does NOT honor gift card purchases online and that it is in the small print. If that policy is to be kept by Hibbett's company then there should be a readable sign posted at the register or check out persons should be trained to tell buyers about the absurd condition of sale when a card is purchased. This was embarrassing to my child and grandchildren when they had to return the cards. It was certainly even more embarrassing to my son and daughter-in-law who purchased and gave the cards at Christmas.

Respect lost!

I tried to activate my "So Called" PBS account. My problem was with my activation code L97AHB264 would not activate. I called to inquire why. I tried the suggestion offered, but it didn't work. I called back and was treated like my problem was insignificant to them. I told them that I called twice and due to their attitude I wished to cancel. I wasn't belligerent or screaming, but I wanted to speak with a supervisor. After numerous request for a supervisor, the person who was supposed to be helping me hung up in my face. not happy.

PBS Reception

I am so pissed about the lack of reception by PBS. I have repeatedly complained to them about this before, still they continue to NOT understand how important some of their programing is to the rest of us. I want to see Masterpiece Theater, Nova and various history programs. If they cannot provide the service w/the finest quality, then by all means Optimum should have a right to be released from any contracts that are binding that prevents them from having your corporation to bring in PBS from Colorado or Utah. You people charge an arm and a leg and then some to have the privilege of entertainment. I have shut down some of your programing and will continue to do so or replace it w/Direct. Kapeesh?

I had the same problem and got an off-the-air antenna just to get PBS. Worked like a charm.

Tavis Smiley slanders Christians on gov't funded PBS

PBS should cancel the Tavis Smiley show and stop wasting our tax payer dollars to air such filth and lies. On June 10, 2010 Tavis Smiley slandered all Christians and said on his show in defense of Muslim violence "that Christians are doing the "same thing" blowing things up in America" and went on to claim that post offices are being attached be Christan's and that Columbine massacre was conducted by Christians and that Tea Party activists are calling calling black people N word which is completely untrue. A $50,000 reward still exists for any video tape of any such incidence. I call for a ban of public funds to air such lies and hatred. This is not a point of view Tavis Smiley is not telling the truth and owes an apology to Christians that he slandered. See for yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eH0YYic_JpY

If you don't like what he has to say don't watch him. As much *** talking as Christian shows do you really have no room to talk.

Pat Robertson comes to mind.

Can we take him off the air please? No? Oh that's right because we live in America.

Please check what country you are living in. The freedom that allows you to practice your religion is the same freedom you are stepping on.

This company takes on businesses "for sale" and advertises them on their website... but that's it.

Calls to the number lead nowhere, and the company cannot be contacted once they know you're onto them. They will charge your credit card every month for the rest of your life until you finally cancel your card or take some kind of legal action. Since they took 5 minutes to post your company, they can say that they are providing what you asked - but there is absolutely NOONE manning the ship.

It's all about collecting monthly payments for nothing. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Did you even go to school? Your grammar is terrible.

It all fun to rant and rave over what YOU think it the truth. Get you facts straight so you don't sound like a fool!

I am sure Rick Hagan was behind all this. He didn't want to pay the child support for his son that he was supposed to pay so he hide his income and blamed it all on his employees but yet he is serving the least amount of time.

Where is the justice for everyone he scammmed even his own son!!!!!

This is NOT the same company. PBS Global declared bankruptcy in Oct of 08.

IBS,is a company out of California that bought PBS Global's Assets. IBS does NOT come close to following any of the practices of PBS Global. They are stricly a marketing and advertising firm for businesses that are for sale by owner. There is no money back guarantees, no fees or comissions paid after a sale.

They have a upfront setup cost followed by a monthly payment. Thats it.
