New Show about Balloons

Hey everyone, I don't know if you've heard or seen, but there is going to be a new tv series beginning the first week iof February soley about BALLOON TWISTING and BALLOON ART. How cool is that. My daughter is excited to see all the wild things that can be created. So I am hoping this will really piqu her interest more and inspired her creativity to try more complicated designs.

It's called the UNPOPPABLES and will air on TLC

only problem I see is too many people learning how and putting me out of a job! LOL

You know what Perry... I don't think it will at all. It takes a special person with a special resolve to do what we do and really stick with it. You'll get an influx at first because people will see it a cool new it thing, even though it's been around for decades. But after the "honeymoon period" and they find out what is involved they too will fall by the wayside.

My hope is that people will have a greater respect for the creativity that goes into it......and not balk when you quote them a price saying you want how much????/ It's just balloons.

whenever they scoff at prices, I just hand them an uninflated one and say, "go ahead." .... heck sometimes I'll even inflated it for them... they still can't do anything with it. Some people who claim that they can make balloon animals make the most sickening looking dog I've ever seen and I just turn away.

just saw that commercial and was gonna post it here...ya beat me!! lol. looks like a fun show!!

My best friend called me up the other day going, "OMG, you have to watch this show!" I suck at watching TV (that's probably a good thing), but will hopefully at least catch the episodes online...I wonder what they'll show!

Oh boy hubby would love this show. Too bad we don't have TV. Maybe Hulu??
And yes I agree Changing it will spark some to give it a try. But after the hype is over you pro's will reap the reward!!

that was sooooooo awesome! I can't wait for the next one.... now I wanna go make something really, really big.....

It looked more frustrating then fun to me.
I am just a newbie at balloons. But, if I saw that before I bought my supplies, I may of been way too intimated to try.
Wowzers. Those things were HUGE>

I missed it......kids and homework/studdying for test lol but luckily I just saw that it comes on again @11 and they will be sleep.

that's good to know if I can't get the kids into bed early again next week LOL

Oh gosh I missed it!! But I went to the website and was so excited to see that Addi was one of the artists! I was a huge fan of Balloonhat several years ago, one of my most favourite websites. Totally inspired me, back when I was doing balloons.

It looks like some videos of the show are on the TLC site, I watched a couple. Very cool!!

I love it....wowwwwwwwwwwwww I truly had no idea. I love the furniture they made.

Next time I feel like redecorating, I'll just have Angel blow me up some new furniture.

ARGH. I got messed up with the times and missed it...can't find it online yet unless - anyone have a link with a full episode?!

I love this show! Even my daughter likes to watch it.
So creative!

I had to laugh though when it got a shout out on Chelsea Lately, and not in a good way.

how could you say anything bad about that show?? even for people who aren't into balloons, is it seriously any worse than 19 kids and counting??

I don't know Perry, but they skewer everything on Chelsea Lately.

I loved the wedding design, the walls were really nice. Just not sure how I feel about the balloon wedding dress.

I'm sure she was wearing a small white cocktail dress underneath, there was nothing showing through... I think she did a great job.... I wanna make a dress now

Yah....I would of done without the dress. It definitly added weight and bulges where she didn;t really have any.
Maybe a traditional dress for the ceremony and the balloon dress for the after party.

Perry if you make a balloon dress, I have to come see it in person.

I love the Unpoppables! I'm glad it is not a show about what we do. It definitely has inspired me to learn some new techniques. I saw some photos today from the Twist and Shout balloon convention going on right now. A-mazing stuff! Check out tmyers facebook photos. You won't believe your eyes!
On a side note, Showtime just finished shooting a movie about young magicians. It looks like a documentary and should be out around April 12. I love all these shows because now people who weren't interested are asking me questions about balloon twisting.

Well gee glitterfly, I was going to make the dress for YOU!! LOL

They show all the reruns on Comcast cable calle ON DEMAND. I love the castle show. It has actually helped us, people will stop and ask us hey, have you ever seen that show?
