I don't like the idea of the West Wing on Sundays much. If there's a good football game on I'm gonna be forced to tape West Wing each week.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Written and executive-produced by Greg Garcia (“Yes, Dear”)

That's what really got my attention. Yes, Dear is a personal favorite show of mine, so I'll probably catch My Name Is Earl too.

[tristy]

Ethan Suplee? Jason Lee? Oh fuck yes. I fully expect Kevin Smith to guest star sometime on this show.

In other news, I'm looking forward to seeing Fox's (?) schedule. Beatnik told me last night about David Boreanaz's new series, and I'm wondering if it'll be on the fall line-up. Or whatever.

One question: WHAT THE HELL IS E-RING?

NBC has been the least watched network for me for years now and this schedule won't help. "My Name is Earl" is the only new show I could watch and The Office is ok, not good but not bad and I could watch it if there was nothing else on, other then that I don't see them improving much next year

[DMN in the House]

Wow, one interesting show.

For the record, thats Law and Order: SVU.

ABC canceled Blind Justice. I saw it a couple of times, it wasn't too bad.

[Guest Bluesman]

Great. It's not like I have many shows that I watch weekly, so the ones I do they have to put on at the same time (boston Legal, The shield). Oh well at least The Shield is repeated constantly throughout the week, and ABC will probably yank Legal off midway through the season again.

BTW, where the hell has The Office been? It hasn't been on the last couple of weeks, are they attempting to give it the Family Guy treatment and kill it off?

wassent season one suposed to have 25 episodes ? They were at 22 last week (23 if you count the fucking special review show that toled you there is no monster)

there you go

Episode 23: Exodus (Part 1 of 3)

Original US Airdate: 18 May 2005

Episode 24: Exodus (Part 2 of 3)

Original US Airdate: 25 May 2005

Episode 25: Exodus (Part 3 of 3)

Original US Airdate: 25 May 2005

need to think, next week issent this week, next week issent this week, net week issen.......

issent it like, silly, they basicly have been filming and writing (themselfs into plot holes) constantly sinc they have been renewed after 13 episodes and now they continue without a break to deliver next the season asap, season 2 will be even more horrific, if they at least took the time to think of something before they start filming . . . now it´s just, oh, lets ignore what we did there, wast 2/3 of the episodes on flashbacks that don´t matter 98% of the time and progress an ince on something mysterius.... not to much that it could like actual progress, if we get to close to something like that, BURN THE RAFT~! KNOCK OUT THE SAIJET~! and so on..... Well at least boom bit the dust...

P.S. Anyone else notice The WB isn't willing to risk their flagship show in anything beyond their comfy Monday at 8pm slot?

[Ananas]

Why should they? Why change a thing that has worked? 7th Heaven is there longest running show and it's best ratings and demo wise.
