Actually, for advertising, it may be a smart move. Those that are familiar with sliders know how to handle these things without cabinet saw style jigs, those that don't may see a slider in a new light where it isn't so foreign and can function similar to a cabinet saw if one likes, so they can explore the option without the feeling they are losing 20 years of cabinet saw jigs and fixtures.
I like the new show, I did grow to tolerate Tommy's frenetic cadence and pace though. I have seen 4 of the 8 episodes that are posted on finewoodworking.com I am not sure if they are behind the paywall since I am a member. My local PBS doesn't seem to be airing it and the PBS app doesn't seem to have it listed but I think that varies by your location so people in areas that are airing it may find it there as well.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
