Renewed for Season 3! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Pavan · 05-17-2004, 10:36 AM

8 Simple Rules is just about renewed. A good sign is that upfront is tomorrow in NYC and Katey Sagal will be in NYC for The View in the morning. Great sign. 8 Simple Rules could be on the move to another night however, perhaps Fridays. And here is ABC's pre-upfront release:

ABC is just about done tweaking its fall line-up. The line-up will be released tomorrow, and so far it's looking like these shows will make it:

New sitcoms:
Mel Gibson's "Savages"
Rodney Carrington's "That's Just Rodney"

New sitcoms in consideration for mid-season:
Jennifer Love Hewitt Project
"I Married Sofia"
"Full Circle"

Note: Jessica Simpson's sitcom was doing well in testings up until recently, and that might be a reason it will not make it. Although, word is she will have her variety specials for every sweep period.

Dramas being considered for fall and mid-season:
"Lost" (could be for mid-season when Alias is in reruns)
"Desperate Housewives"
"Life As We Know It" (AKA: "Doing It")
The Practice Spin-off
"Grey's Anatomy"
"Blind Justice"
"Eyes"
Lots of dramas this year, I can see why, as they look great this year.

New Reality Show: "Wife Swap"

Reality returning: "The Bachelor," "Extreme Makeover," "America's Funniest Home Videos," "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition"

Sitcoms returning: "My Wife & Kids," "George Lopez," "According to Jim," "Less Than Perfect," "8 Simple Rules" and "Hope and Faith."

Dramas returning: "NYPD Blue" and "Alias"

Newsmagazines: "20/20" and "Primetime." New news magazine: "Good 2 Go" (perhaps being aired before Monday night Football)

My bets: Look for My Wife & Kids and George Lopez to move over to Tuesdays and 8 Simple Rules to anchor Friday nights.

Are you 100% sure it will come back for a season 3? If you are 100% sure, then I knew it will come back for a season 3. I love that show.

Doesn't look like it.

I so totally hope it stays!

Katey and the cast are probably happy...that gives a hint too.

This is great news! Now the cast can start off new and fresh. If ABC does decide to move it to TGIF that would be better since it wouldn't have to compete with AI and Gilmore Girls. Thanks for the wonderful news!
