Yup. Two months without it, just like in season three. It's bad enough that they're only ordering 20 episodes, too.

It's from Shaun Cassidy? That means that just like American Gothic, it's going to be heartbreakingly fantastic and then quickly canceled. And just like American Gothic, it'll never get released on DVD and we'll have to watch the episodes on ****ty VHS until the tapes finally die. -_-

Get it at Best Buy if you can, it comes with a bonus DVD of deleted scenes and other such ****.

Since you like Medium and American Gothic, you'll probably love it. It's one of those cult shows that got canceled as soon as it started because it was just too good for most television viewers. It came on as a midseason show in '03 and then got constantly shuffled around because of the war coverage. Really great show and the cast is awesome. I never thought I'd like Skeet Ulrich and Marissa Ramirez is too pretty for words. The DVDs are great because they have six episodes that never aired, so I was psyched.

Eyes was delish, I'm bummed. They only showed, like, 2 eps or something, then they cancel it already? Way to give it a chance.

this is so not fair, Alias, Smallville, Survivor and The OC are going to share the same timeslot, eeep!!!! I liked smallville on Wend, and Alias on wed at 9pm, what is wrong with network exects.?

Scrubs a mid-season? They've GOT to be kidding. Isn't it like a critic's darling? I freaking LOVE that show! Whatev.

I don't care that much anymore about TV with a few exceptions:

Desperate Housewives
Still Standing (funny as hell)
2&1/2 Men
Medium
Amazing Race
Gilmore Girls
Idol

I used to faithfully watch W&G and ER, but lately - eh.

Paula, the show they're going to put after GG in the fall is a "supernatural thriller" starring Jared Padalecki, i.e. Eww, Vomit!Dean. BLECCH.

GILMORE GIRLS SEASON FINALE TONIGHT OMG OMG OMG!

okay, I'm done.

Hrmmm.....I wonder if American Idol will come back as a mid-season? That's the only show I really care about these days

Dark Angel · #23 05-17-2005, 08:27 PM

Oh this sucks! Smallville's in the same time slot as Joey and Wiil & Grace. The only shows I watch, and now they're airing them at the same time. No!

Joshua's going to be really disappointed at the move to Thursdays for 'Alias.'

I hope it manages to hold its own though. Aren't people sick of 'Survivor' yet?

I'm really miffed by the fact that they bumped 'Scrubs' to midseason... but reading the description for Jason Lee's new show ('My Name Is Earl'), I have a feeling 'Scrubs' will be back in no time at all!

I believe it will be back right after Superbowl?

I know I'm not tired of Survivor yet, although I wish I were. However, it's an easy choice for me. I, like- breathe Alias. So, uh, yeah.

I thought the same thing about 'My Name Is Earl'- but at the same time, I have a MAJOR soft spot for Jason Lee. I think he's just really, really hot.

I used to struggle on Tuesdays at 8PM, because I really like what I've seen of House and wanted to watch it, but always picked Scrubs instead.

You're damn right I'm disappointed.

Seriously, I think next season will be the last. As much as it makes me weep to type those words, I think it's very true. The fact that it's being moved to Thursdays only confirms that ABC (and probably JJ) wants to kill it off once and for all. But I feel lucky that we're getting five seasons out of it, because all signs point to the fact that it should have been canned after the first season due to lackluster ratings. I've gotta hand it to ABC for once, they stuck with a cult show finally.
