Jon, do we know if they'll air any new episodes, after that pre-emption? De-Clawed was (per imdb) #8, and Aidan was #9. I don't think though, that tonight will mark the 8th episode aired (unless I've completely lost track).

Cindy, there were 6 episodes shown so far (June 8, 15, 23, 30 and two episodes on July 7). Tonight will be the 7th. As far as I can tell (that's what I've asked Allyson in my previous post), one episode (of the order which was once posted here) was skipped - "Point Of Origin". "Aidan" is supposed to be next after that.

[Edit: the episodes were: "New Girl in Town", "Old Wounds", "Pre-filer", "Everything Nic", "Loneliest Number" and "Thief Of Hearts". I'm just all "yay, I can post something that's on topic here!"]

Thanks, Nilly. I guess I will just have to wait and see if my husband lives or dies.

I didn't get to see the last two. We recorded them on the TiVo, but either the children erased them, or we forgot to mark them as "keep until I delete" and they deleted the next morning, because the TiVo is so full.

Cindy, from what I hear, (and really, what do I know?) we'll see all of them, most likely. It's preempted for jackasses dancing this week, but I believe next week will have dancing jackasses for a lead-in.

And then *if*The Inside pulls a seven with its new lead-in, which is likely what they want, someone will have egg on their face for not keeping the actors under contract. And then mostly all of FOX's Fall line-up will be canceled after 4 episodes.

This is called "long-term planning." I believe the model is based on the war in Iraq, and each time Idol airs, Rupert Murdoch flies onto the stage in Pasadena wearing a Simon Cowell suit with a banner reading, "Mission Accomplished."

And then they cancel all the scripted shows they paid a fortune to produce and tell us to invest our money in private accounts.

Allyson (or Kristen) (or Kevin) (or anyone who knows), do you have a list of the writers of the upcoming episodes, and if so would you be kind enough to share it? I checked Kevin's site but didn't find the info. Thanks.

All the scripts I have are drafts, not shooting scripts, so the first page is blank. I have no idea who is credited for anything.

joe, this is what IMDB has to say about the matter. Me, I'm only using this post as an excuse to congratulate you on your marriage, because that's the first tme I've posted with you in forever (let alone since your "Beep Me" post).

You need to change your board name to Prophecy Girl. Sadly.

Thanks for the congrats & the info, Nilly! Very nice: Tim, Jane, and Ben Edlund coming up. And Kevin Hooks is directing two episodes, so I'll use this a flimsy excuse to recount one of my favorite tv moments. Hooks' "The White Shadow" co-star Byron Stewart played the same character, Warren Coolidge, on "White Shadow" and "St.Elsewhere". WS guest star Eric Laneuville was a St. Elsewhere regular, too. When WS regular Timothy Van Patten (Mario 'Salami' Pettrino) guest starred on St. Elsewhere the elevator opened & the three WS alumni looked at each other before Coolidge yelled out "Salami!" Van Patten, somewhat taken aback, mutters, "Uh... I think you've got me confused with someone else." The elevator doors close. Meta-marvelous.

Meta-marvelous.

Heh! St. Elsewhere was the best with the meta. They also had Mr. Carlin on from Bob Newhart being treated for clinical depression. He spotted Betty White (playing a different character) but called her Sue Anne.
