Yay finally

Raisingdad2004 · 04-27-2005, 04:14 AM

Could this be a sign renewal is a-knocking?

katefandream04 · 04-27-2005, 08:34 AM

Maybe...

They wouldn't have let us know rerun schedule until weeks from that...

Superbowl · 04-27-2005, 10:01 AM

Well, I must admit that is the best sign I have seen yet. I know networks do strange things, but why would the network have the show on haitus, and then put it back on if they cancelled it ? I really hope this is a good omen. I guess we will find out soon enough.

I think this is GREAT news... since the majority of the ABC Fall schedule is already decided, then I think this is a good sign for renewal. I cannot remember any shows in recent memory that after being cancelled aired repeats over the summer. Big hit shows that went out with a proper finale like Friends don't count.

Yeah, it really makes you think positive thoughts. I wonder if Less Than Perfect returns that day,too. If it does than it may not mean anything. If Less Than Perfect does not return on May 27, and 8 Simple Rules does, that could tell us a lot about ABC's plans.

Miss Golden · 04-27-2005, 12:27 PM

Usually shows that get cancelled do not rerun in the summer, I expect this means it has been renewed, I mean give it one more season so it can get a syndication deal.

However last year ABC showed repeats of I'm with Her through the majority of the summer and it got cancelled after one year despite medicore ratings.

Brent88 · 04-27-2005, 01:24 PM

Pav... do you know what's going to air from 8:30-10:00pm on Fridays then?

Raisingdad2004 · 04-27-2005, 04:11 PM

I think this is a good sign of renewal, I know Pavan said "slated", but really I would think thats a sign renewal is coming but 8SR may not be put in that slot.

I don't see the point in pre-scheduling a show if it is gone, Hopefully this means it will be back!

Superbowl · 04-27-2005, 04:11 PM

Guys, I hate to throw some cold water on this, but I was thinking about it. ABC announced yesterday that they will be showing four burn off episodes of Complete Savages. So what I think this means is they will show 8SR before those four episodes to fill out the hour. If you notice they are starting with the After Party, which is the fourth to last episode of the year. Something tells me they will show the last four episodes of the season again before the 4 final episodes of Complete Savages, and that is it. I think they are using 8SR simply as a filler to fill in the time slot needed for Complete Savages to run out.

You can tell me I am wrong, but after thinking it over I think this means nothing towards renewal. In fact, it may mean more towards cancellation, because if it was being renewed they may have moved it to a new time slot like 9:30 when bringing it back for the summer. I could be wrong, but I think you will see either the last four episodes only or repeats with repeats of Complete Savages in the 8-9 hour this summer and both will be gone in the Fall. These two shows will probably simply hold the time slot for a new show or shows in the Fall.

That sounds very true, There goes my happy face

If I remember correctly last season though 8SR did not move to its new timeslot until June/July? So I don't think it being in the same slot is any indication of cancellation.

Thanks, Pavan. That makes me feel better.

Do you know if Less Than Perfect is also returning ?
