Our Take On Rehab Addict Being Moved To The Fall
Hopefully, This Is A Positive Move
It’s not very often that a show airs two episodes of a season, and then the rest of the season later on. In fact, it happens so rarely thatthis move is raising some eyebrows and worrying longtime viewerswho love Nicole’s no-nonsense approach to home renovation.
Nicole reassured fans that the show isn’t canceled and she made the decision to move it to the fall, butit does seem strange that the network would agree to this.
Especially in light of the shocking cancellations of some landmark HGTV shows,the choice to moveRehab Addictto later on in the year is a little troubling. It’s just not something that is commonly done.
Unless the network is revamping their line-up entirely, hence the slate of cancellations, and trying to experiment with new programming,the switch-up is a little strange. Here’s hoping that Nicole is right and that this is a positive move—and one that theRehab Addictstar wanted.
