Of course, and I'm the only one who can tell you this: Those late video cassettes of the 25th and final season of The Oprah Winfrey Show that was supposed to start this Tuesday on SABC3 is now being held up by customs. In Amsterdam. Like in the Netherlands. True.
First the snow in America and now European bureaucracy. Its interesting to note that the Survivor Gabon video cassettes that were late at the end of December that created embarrassement when SABC3 had to postpone that show by a week as well as Oprah are both distributed by the very same company. Yep. CBS Studios International. And now Oprah is the second SABC3 show to be affected in serial order by snow and then getting delayed in Europe.
Insider sources tell me SABC3 expect the video cassettes to arrive over the weekend and that the new Oprah season - her ''farewell season'' can start this coming Monday. At least viewers can look forward to a new, live Oprah Winfrey interview tomorrow (Friday) on Morning Joe on MSNBC (TopTV 410) between 14:00 and 16:00 from Chicago.
