It will be the 2nd new episode after it comes back. Either March 27 or April 3. It might be April 3, since ABC will bring the show back now on March 27, rather than March 20.

Nice little easter present.

barwars · 02-25-2005, 03:20 PM

tvtome lists it as airing April 17th.

Mr. Television · 02-25-2005, 03:38 PM

Great news. Bob Newhart is one of my favorite actors.

What is airing the 20th? This better be good.

I don't think it's a movie, maybe a double length EM:HE.
Because BL is airing that night for the last time for a month. (then it'll return for nonstop episodes)

Pavan · 02-25-2005, 10:08 PM

Yeah, it's probably a 2 hour encore of EM: HE. ABC will not air a DH rerun at 9pm, which I think is pretty smart as they are trying to get the show #1 for adults 18-49 for the season.

It is still not confirmed if the next episode will be on the 20th or 27th, but for sure a new one WILL air on the 27th, as an awesome lead in for Grey's Anatomy.

Brent88 · 02-26-2005, 11:28 AM

If it does not start back til the 27th, then it would air rerun or pre-emption free the remainder of the season(EIGHT STRAIGHT WEEKS!)(assuming the finale is May 15th like I've heard elsewhere).

I hope ABC airs the season finale on May 22. And expand it to 2 hours.

I've heard the finale will be 2 hours on May 15th and then the Boston Legal 2-hour finale will be on the 22nd. It's just rumors though... If it's May 15th, it'd be against the Survivor finale(and would win since the ratings would likely hit record highs).

It makes more sense if the DH season finale is 2 hours on May 22. I doubt Boston Legal's finale will be 2 hours. The DH episode on May 15 would still beat Survivor.

TV-Now lists a repeat of DH "Every Day a Little Death" on March 20th at 9pm, and then "Ladies Who Lunch" on March 27th

Bob Newhart is NOT in that episode. I doubt March 20 will be a rerun.
