Wasn't Grey's Anatomy a spring premiere?
Yep. March 27th 2005.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

My theory is, no network is burning anything off it they have it scheduled during May sweeps.
June yes.
May no way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
There has been lots of Fox energy behind this one. They must like it. I'm excited.
Also, speculatively, about this:
once the race has been run, then what?
There was an (intriguing? misleading? confusing?) reference in one of those profiles that said: it's been Corinna's lifelong obsession to find out what's behind the race. That's a long race. I'm just saying.

and of course, who says that the race ends at the end of Season 1? The premise seems elastic both in terms of duration and number of characters and storylines.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
but I can't think of a lot of spring debut shows that have succeeded
Can you think of a lot of spring debut shows? It's another weird concept of Fox's, this all-year programming. Certainly a lot of summer shows have become hits. OC for example.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
It's possible that this isn't the first time the race has been run.
A season could be a leg of the race, as well, it could take six months or a year to run it, it could take place every two years, whatever.
Because it's Tim, it's okay to invest in it if it grabs you, because he won't Abrams himself into a corner, leading to lame.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
It's possible that this isn't the first time the race has been run.
Well, it's not only possible but true, right? The promos say it's been going on for years.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
A season could be a leg of the race, as well, it could take six months or a year to run it, it could take place every two years, whatever.
Oh yeah, I can see them all at the end of the season thinking whoever has won, and then the assholes saying "OK now.." But really, the race isn't the point, is it? Isn't it really what happens when you need the money/your wife/something to make your miserable life worth something?
I could give a fuck about the premise. Tell me a good story and I'm happy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I could give a fuck about the premise. Tell me a good story and I'm happy.
I don't think the two are entirely unrelated. Hard to tell a good story without a good in-point.
