Some people seemed to be saying they'd stop watching etc. just before the summer break although I suspect they'll be watching it again on Monday. Have you missed it? Has it left a massive, gaping hole in your daily routine or did you not really care?

Personally I found it a bit odd at first not watching DOND every day at 4:15 but after a while I just got used to it really. However I'll enjoy watching it when it returns again on Monday.

Pretty much the same as you H. It was odd not watching it as part of my daily routine, but I kind of got used to it and in a way it was nice to have a break from it for a little while. I do look forward to it's return though.

Haha I see 5 have voted for "Yes, I can't wait for its return!" already. I was one, mike was one... I wonder who the other 3 were.

I've not really noticed to be honest, I'd rather they left Come Dine With Me on instead as that's much better... (Did anyone see today's?? What a bitch....)

Didn't miss it, and not bothered about its return

Like cookie monster, didn't miss it, and not overly bothered about it's return either.

Yeah I missed it at first but I'm not too bothered about it's return at the moment...

At its best the show is brilliant but season 3 quickly degenerated into a spineless cash grab with no attempt to play the game. Having decided to have a break and stop watching back in June it was my intention then to start again at the beginning of season 4. But I really haven't missed it at all and have filled in the time slot with other things. I always seem to be busy around that time these days.

If I thought Endemol had taken measured to encourage more gambling or risk taking I'd definitely be switching on Monday. But they wont have. It'll be more of the same.

That said I'm going to make the effort and hope to get back into it. But I fear all it will take is a few weak deals (pretty inevitable) and I'll switch off for good.

Didn't miss it, and won't be watching it on Monday. Not bothered about its return either.

Haven't missed it at all, if anything tuning in at 4:15 every day became almost a chore over the last few months. I will tune in on Monday (if I'm in) but I don't think I'll last much longer with it. I stopped watching between October and December 2007 and was on/off around March/April this year so I think I'll just tune in when it suits me from now on. The show's magic and spark died a long time ago and it isn't going to return.

I think I'd like to see it end for good, at the end of this season.

I'm the same as H and Mike.

It was odd to stop watching it but i've got used to it now.

But bring on Monday!

Hahah this thread is brilliant, reading it cold you'd never guess it was from a Deal or No Deal fansite...

Didn't miss it, but looking forward to having it back, really.

Didn't miss the spineless cowardice at all and infact it was a welcome break now on Monday its gonna be back probably with a even worse squander.

For once, I can say that I agree with you.

It's been on a break?
