NBC is not downloading complete guide data to my Tivo on the Heads Up series so there is no way to tell what reruns are being shown on CNBC. There were actually two new shows this weekend, one on Sat. and one on Sun.

Next new one should be:
5/15 at 11:00 AM (Central) on NBC

It is on the Tivo guide, but the title and description for each showing is identical so you have no way to determine if it is a rerun. I have had this same problem with some of the other poker series as well.

Normally the Tivo guide gives a complete description of the show, but Tivo as totally at the mercy of the program supplier. In this case, NBC is not suppling the data to Tivo.

I also found this at http://headsuppokerchamp.com/NBCschedule.html

Next three episodes (first run):

Sunday, May 15 12:00 - 1:00pm ET
Saturday, May 21 3:30 - 5:00pm ET
Sunday, May 22 1:00 - 3:00pm ET

Wow, I just finished watching the 2 hour finale. NBC really got lucky to have such a dramatic final match. Then again, they swung hard hoping to hit the ball out of the park.... upper decker for sure. Congratulations NBC, the poker world will benefit from your great format and interesting programming. Gotta give props to the champion, he really is an outstanding player.

If you missed it, do yourself a huge favor and look for the replay on CNBC. Some of the best poker I've ever seen on TV.

You know, after reading your post I got to thinking.... I knew who the winner was going to be, I read reports a few months back regarding the drama of specific hands, and anyone can tell just by the time left before the show ends who is gonna win certain all-ins...... and it still was awesome to watch!!! Lol... good stuff. Gabe Kaplan's hand-to-hand commentary was even excellent.

If someone knows, please post up the re-airing time on CNBC so I can watch the last two hours again!

This series was done very well, maybe the best. Gabe Kaplan was an excellent commentator, I think we will be seeing more of him now. He did a superb job.

I agree that this was a lot of fun to watch. The strange thing was that I knew who won before hand as well. If I didn't knew who one.. it might have been by far one of the most exciting poker I've watched on TV.

What's been strange is I've known in the past who's won a match, and it usually doesn't bother me (like Raymer winning last years WSOP)... but with such shocking hands at that final table... I really wish i didn't know.

Once I found myself screaming at the tv "I don't believe it". And my wife was like, "don't you know who wins this?". And I said "yeah, but that was still and unbelievable hand!!!"

If you missed it.. catch it this week on re-runs!

I must admit I was surprised to see Phil limp into the flop with a pair Queens AFTER he lost a hand limping with his pair of Tens...he ended up being bet out of the pocket Queens too and I remember thinking huh?

P.S. Phil was probably trying to get big pots by limping that would cripple his opponent. Also, Phil is usually gracious in victory and usually horrible in defeat.
