Conflict of Interest

This article is fine. I watch this show, and it seems to define this show in a way in which I can better understand its layout. Suivoh (talk) 06:10, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Producer? Does anyone know who produced Departures? Or what company sponsored them, if any? They never mention a company but I can't imagine them spending their own money. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.199.184.192 (talk) 06:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't quote me but I'm pretty sure most of the financing was their own, up until the second season. They don't have a camera crew, and they're basically just backpacking wherever they are, so they honestly don't spend a lot of money, apart from flights. It's just the two hosts and the camera operator travelling. One of the hosts and the camera OP previously worked on another show titled "Don't Forget Your Passport" - a Globe Trekker clone - which OLN also aired. I imagine this gave them some leverage in financing, so once they were able to prove they had a good show they got some cash. I know National Geographic bought it up too.

Anyways, I'm also suggesting a re-write of the article. Much of it is written like an advert, in fact most of the text is taken directly from their website. Cheers. tyx (talk) 23:07, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I remember that Scott Wilson mentioned in the pilot episode that he had a successful business venture with the camera guy. It isn't too far-fetched that they mostly financed their travels with their own money. On the other hand, they spent money quite freely for various activities. A finnish show Madventures had a quite similar setup; two hosts with a camcorder. They, however, had to borrow thousands of dollars to complete the first season after they ran out of money although they were quite vigilant with their spending.

Full Episode Summaries

I'm thinking if creating a List of Departures Episodes article to list more descriptive summaries of the episodes based on Halogen TV's show page. I'm letting the community know so they can put forth any objections before hand. SeiADP (talk) 05:51, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Make sure you put the episode descriptions in your own words. Copying the descriptions verbatim from any source—the show's website, TV Guide, etc.—would be copyright infringement. —C.Fred (talk) 06:18, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
