sa, that news counts as spoilage of the lite variety. I would imagine that it would be soonish because of the new storyline.

Oh, and we've had two episodes of TBD online. Both of them better than what aired. This week's featured William Sadler.

I wasn't thinking in terms of spoilers, just "am I going to have to start watching that show?" So I'm as glad it was here as not.

What show is Shanks going to be on? I'll accept whitefont, but I think I just missed it upthread...

What is even happening?

The futon critic reported that they were showing the unaired episodes on NBC.com.

I knew they were airing the episodes, I just didn't think there was a smidge of a chance the show would ever again be broadcast on the network. That's what I was asking about.

The real skinny? Sources connected to the Peacock network tell me the higher-ups at NBC are waiting to see how its pilots for new series turn out (the ol' wait-and-see—it kills me!), and they're also putting a lot of weight into how well the Donnellys episodes do on nbc.com and also on iTunes.
Thanks, sumi. The wait-n-see kills me, too. I figure that's what is going on with Veronica Mars, too. It is canceled for all intents and purposes, but the network would never announce that until the last minute, because something could happen to the other show(s) it's hoping will replace it.

We should probably take the casting stuff to Spoilers Lite.

FNL: Please don't move it to Friday nights! I live in a town now. I'll have actual Friday night football to watch! In a high school stadium. With parents wearing little buttons with the pictures of their sons. And local small-town gossip. And drama!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Last night I caught a rerun of a Criminal Minds that I'd missed before. I thought I was recognzing some of the guest stars and it was impressive - Keith Carradine, Amy Madigan, and Melissa Leo (who I didn't recognize, but liked).

I hadn't seen that one yet either, Toddson. I liked it a lot. Carradine was CREEPY! And they've set up a possible return, should they so choose.

It was, indeed, creepy. And it took me a little while to realize they were jumping back and forth in time. I like Keith Carradine, and I really like Amy Madigan - she doesn't get enough work.
