The lawsuit also seeks to require WGBH to include written and oral statements in eight episodes of the new Rough Cut that say in part that MacDonald is not associated with or sponsoring the show. I was looking foward to a new season of Rough Cut with Tommy Mac in his new shop. he says, and he has a rather condescending attitude in general. Thanks for all you do PBS keep it up. Different approach to solve problem, worked out fine for me. Matter solved. [1] Presented as an instructional woodworking tutorial, Tommy Mac guided the viewer through the necessary steps to create tables, cabinets, chairs, and many more artisan woodworks. The show displayed a range of woodworking skills and techniques, from the very basic to the highly advanced, enabling viewers of any skill level to learn more about the craft. Equipment I can neither afford nor have space to have it. Its more interesting and fun to watch paint dry then watch him. MacDonald's attorney argued that while WGBH was allowed to register a trademark for the former title of the show ("Rough Cut: Woodworking with Tommy Mac"), trademarks should not have been allowed for "Rough Cut" or "Tommy Mac." He had that “surfer dude” persona. I hope that another station will pick up his show. Tommy MacDonald's new shop : MJ: 2/22/17 11:08 AM: While, Tommy is no Norm, he does some interesting projects, he's speech pattern is a bit off putting but he's a friendly guy according to people I know who have worked with him. [Update: WGBH filed a countersuit in June 2018.]. I don’t even recall finishing watching the episode. I liked that. I If they were not happy they should have told him so, and from what I understand the name was Tommy McDonald’s name and they should have offered to purchase the rights to Rough Cut. The format has changed. Actually, I like both programs. PBS .. SHAME ON YOU !!! They sure lost me as a viewer. The NEW host is Tommy McLaughlin who calls himself “Tommy Mac” – and he was a guest on the show in season-7. I wonder if his insistence to build a shop and not furniture his last season was why he was cut? Took me a bit to figure out what I was watching. I had to watch with the volume turned down … between every scene you can hear a weird clicking noise… at first I thought it was my TV… I hope they do something about that. Now called Rough Cut with Fine Woodworking. I’m still Thomas MacDonald hosted the show Rough Cut: Woodworking with Tommy Mac for seven seasons from 2010 to 2016, according to the lawsuit. Tommy is I was so excited when I saw on my DVR new “Season 8” episodes of “Rough Cut with Tommy Mac”. “Tommy Mac” IS a registered trademark name with the USPTO (US Government Copyright Office) and it is short for Tommy McDonald. I made foru kitchen stools using some of the items Tommy II used in his A & C side chair build. Boston Native, Tommy Mac’s shop is now located in Boston’s historic North End. Tom McDonald, Norm Abraham and Scott Phillips inspires me. He started his own business in Canton, Massachusetts, and his work was noticed by Bob Vila, who later invited him to appear on his television series Home Again and on video podcasts for the BobVila.com website. The first and second season were released on DVD. Do not like the new host. McLaughlin even tired to dominate the show and to guide cameras away from Tommy McDonald who was the real host and as McLaughlin moved in, McDonald was trying to sway the cameras back to the correct host. Did PBS really think they could sneak by with a different host with a name so close to Tommy Mac by bringing in Tom McLaughlin ???? [4] MacDonald's attorney argued that while WGBH was allowed to register a trademark for the former title of the show ("Rough Cut: Woodworking with Tommy Mac"), trademarks should not have been allowed for "Rough Cut" or "Tommy Mac." I enjoyed the series and host and was confused when I watched season 8. The series is broadcast on public television stations (mostly PBS stations), and the Create network. Make it, show and somebody, maybe me, will copy it. Butch YOU need to get more knowledge about this before you criticize it. The new show is boring and uninspiring. wife. Get over it Tommy. I was anxious to see Tommy in his new shop but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. Copyright 2020. I was curious to see if that second floor was going to work for him. CLEARLY a name Infringement in this regard !!! I have nothing against either host, but PBS has clearly stepped on it BIG TIME ! The station is stealing the show away, which is what TV stations do when they think they can bully a host or a talent. but … he doesn’t look like him. I thought a new season was starting and found a completely different show. sheesh… fair is fair… that 10 year thing companies do… 10 years plus, people start to cost too much… it’s a damn shame! They tried to steal music albums this way too by re-recording the music from a concert then selling it as their own from a TV station and playing the music on their own radio station. So before you yell around here about McDonald, I think you should know the real history of this thing. He brought a lot of humor to the show. Following the launch of season eight, MacDonald filed a lawsuit against WGBH for trademark infringement, claiming that the company was profiting on his image by relaunching the show with a similar name and different host. MacDonald’s lawsuit names as defendants Donnelly, the WGBH Educational Foundation and The Taunton Press, a partner with WGBH on the new show. I agree with Tommy Mac. 6 likes. ! Loved the old show. PBS stole it! I’m sensing a communication breakdown between Tommy Mac. All rights reserved. Sorry Tom McLaughlin, you are knowledgible but boring. I can’t see that this series will generate a season 9. Try getting a different job Tommy Mac instead of filing frivolous lawsuits. Built with the Largo WordPress Theme from the Institute for Nonprofit News. it would seem to me that Tommy does have a case, tho I haven’t seen the legal terms of their agreement. Go back to boring others with your home projects. Always thought Tom Mac laughlin was a superior woodworker and host. I totally agree on toms side,they should have started a different show without referring to the former show at all.i will miss tommys show and hope to see him surface with another show of his own. I hope Tommy McDonald gets another show and I’ll be watching it. Quite deceptive. He walked up, said hi, and was easy to talk with. Tommy Max personality and history made the show. It IS McDonald’s trademark and HIS show also. The former host of a woodworking show on Boston’s WGBH claims in a lawsuit filed Sunday that the station is infringing on his trademark and profiting from his image after it started a new season of the show with a similar name but different host. Sorry if it stepped on his toes but that’s the way woodworking is. After seven seasons, WGBH did not renew MacDonald’s contract for an eighth, and MacDonald believed the show would end, the lawsuit said. [3] The first season of Classic Woodworking is made up of rebroadcast episodes of season eight of Rough Cut, with newly recorded introductions by McLaughlin. My only problem is with the way the change was executed . No comparison. But Tommy just built his new workshop and was cut. Thomas J. MacDonald (born June 18, 1966), known as Tommy Mac, is a U.S. carpenter and woodworker and former host of the public television series Rough Cut – Woodworking with Tommy Mac. record company did the same thing the Creedence Clearwater Revival John Fogerty was drug through court for years the claim of the record company was he sounded too much like himself. saw nothing about the change at the beginning of the eighth season and If they wanted a different host, create a new show. After seven seasons, WGBH did not renew MacDonald’s contract for an eighth, and MacDonald believed the show would end, the lawsuit said. My DVR didn’t know the difference, but I did. and PBS and I’m hoping that it can be amicably resolved. The show is now much more like “New Yankee Workshop” was. Hey Butch, obviously you don’t know the show: The rest of us do. Such passion went into that project. If PBS should change the name of the program, then I would probably watch the new program episodes. Actually, he reminds I hope Tommy MacDonald wins his suit.
