I'm really worried about the dancing show tonight. Somebody needs to set actual monkeys loose in the studio whilst it's on.
You seriously think that would *hurt* ratings?
Sad about the news, but hopeful for a slow build.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

What is even happening?
Yeah, I know that works with mini-series, but that is event programming. This is supposed to be a long term series, and you (the schedulers) want three hours of our time in two days?Sometimes it works to suck people in. FOX has done this with 24 a few times, and I've really liked it. You get more exposure to the story, and if it's worth following, want to see more.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Yeah, but 24 is an established series. People making a 3 hour commitment know exactly what they're going to get for it. Not trying to annoy anybody (but I'm sure I am -- I'm annoying myself), but just trying to present the point of view it's a bit odd scheduling -- it only works if you have a big audience from the beginning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Yeah, but 24 is an established series.
I was gonna say the same thing -- Fox didn't start showing 24 in 3-hour blocks until the 4th season, when it was already a hit.

Punishingly Intricate
I'm trying not to pay attention to the ratings talk. There's nothing I can do about it! So I'll just enjoy the show while I've got it which I hope is for quite a long time.
I wish you could Marcie a topic!

Is it Jack and Zoe time, lisa?

I think I have to agree with Cindy on that - Jack and Zoe time. (Assuming they're the adorable, blond twins)
I haven't seen the show yet, and Fox's VOD (or whatever) site doesn't seem to support Vista yet. Boo.

Seriously!
Man, I was so glad Wendy didn't have her real baby with her. I would not have been able to stop worrying enough to enjoy the show.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, those babies are awesome.

Jack -n- Zoe time is better than Peanut Butter and Jelly time!
Man, I was so glad Wendy didn't have her real baby with her. I would not have been able to stop worrying enough to enjoy the show.I'm very slow. I forgot Wendy was mini-van mom's name, and thought you were talking about one of your friends, and couldn't quite figure out what "real" baby meant, in that context. Durrrrrrrrrrr. All better, now.
Also? Me, too. Now we just have to worry that the baby doesn't grow up mommyless, and that they race organizers don't kill the baby.
