Vexcon Animal and Pest Control, Billy's family business that was featured on the show, is still going strong in Louisiana, and it's launched a new web-based TV show on YouTube, "Vexcon the Exterminators." It's a similar format to the A&E show, but it only features Billy's brother Ricky - the company's website says Billy has retired from the business. He pleaded guilty in 2013 to the possession charge, and was given a year's worth of probation and a fine. With the advent of cable and satellite there are additional channels that are or have shown the series, like CoziTV, TBN, FETV, PB&J, RTV, Smile of a Child, Angel2, and Grit TV.
He was arrested in the summer of 2012 for possession of synthetic marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Lassie reruns have been broadcast on many channels over the years, especially in afternoon reruns before the news on small independent UHF channels. The drug charges weren't particularly severe. Some fans miss the show while others wonder why they wasted their time with the soap. Sadly, that was short-lived too, as it was dropped in 2008 when the broadcast satellite company decided not to renew the contract. As of this past January, it was still promoting the show - now the fact that all six seasons are available online. Alas, NBC did cancel the soap in 2007 and Passions was then picked up by DirectTV. And it did prove to be the show's last season.īut still, the network never truly distanced itself from him. The show is filmed primarily at the beautiful Belair Great House in Runaway Bay, St Ann, which serves as the titular family estate. Of course, the season would have been filmed by that point, so it would have cost the network a fair bit of money not to air it. The popular soap, recently renamed The Blackburns of Royal Palm Estate, has been a Jamaican television staple for the past 20 years. You can't give me a setup like this and expect me not to take it: "Billy the Exterminator" was exterminated.Ĭredit is due to A&E, which stuck by the show through some tough times, airing and promoting the sixth season in the fall of 2012, after Billy was arrested on drug charges in the summer.
