What's ABC pulling now? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What's up here?

ABC is reairing "The Last Action Queero" (guest starring Steven Weber) next Tuesday, March 9. That's the seventh episode of the season. Perfectly fine. But what the heck happened to "The Musical" and "The Weedend Away" (episodes four and five, respectively)? Not to mention "The Second Date"? Why have they skipped ahead again?

They passed over "All About Evil," too, but I expected that. From what I've seen, Halloween episodes are never repeated. Not sure about Thanksgiving or Christmas.

What's going on, ABC? Where are these episodes? Why are you not airing the reruns in their original order? They aired "The Smarty Party"--episode three--on the last Tuesday in December and then "Pilot" a month later in early February. (The same two, incidentally, which appear on the ABC tapes selling on eBay.) It was wonderful to see them both, but what about the others? This gets frustrating. Hasn't ABC recovered yet from the schedule problems incurred from Diane Sawyer's interview with George W. Bush?

The Second Date is re-airing on March 23. They are probably airing the episode with Weber because he is set to star in a new ABC mid-season drama starting March 19, and a new episode of I'm With Her is scheduled on March 16.

Don't know the reason but I do know that the Steven Webber episode was my favorite one of the year! Bring it!

Thank you for that. Very happy to know. Where did you find the information?

That's right; I remember something about that. Okay, that makes sense. ABC is off the hook--at least for now.

Agreed. Really doesn't matter what order they come in, just as long as they're all played.

And uh, what "other sources" might you mean?

Oh maybe something that starts with a "K" ends with a "A" and has a "Z" in the middle.

The frustrating thing is that I found most of them but cant get them all the way done.

Well, I don't mind if they re-air "The last Action Queero" first! Even though I haven't seen the second and fourth episodes yet. I'm taping every episode of "I'm With Her," and "The Last Action Queero" is a show I saw but did not tape.

hurricaneez1 · 03-09-2004, 01:01 PM

Same here. My DVR has every episode since "The Kid stays in the Picture" plus the pilot. Looking forward to tonight.
