Just curious anyone know when it's coming back to ABC? I miss it

Superstar · 11-06-2005, 01:00 PM

January I think

Pavan · 11-06-2005, 01:36 PM

They have not announced the official date yet, but it should be in March. I don't think it will be January, unless something gets canceled.

March? They should have just cancelled it altogether, since they will only have around 8 episodes right?

I think they wanted to renew it for a 4th season so they would be able to try and get a syndication deal for the show.

Superstar · 11-06-2005, 04:03 PM

TV.com says that only 68 episodes have been produced of the show. They would need a complete season 4, and some of a season 5 to get syndication.

GoldenFamilyTies · 11-06-2005, 04:33 PM

Hmmm, well, that's what I remember being mentioned over and over by people pondering whether LTP will get renewed or not.

Superstar · 11-06-2005, 05:07 PM

Yeah...I'm guessing season 4 will be the last.

spunkygirl · 11-06-2005, 05:34 PM

Thanks Pav

March? That sucks

Does that mean they'll show it as new episodes over the summer too, or they'll have a short season from March-May?

Pavan · 11-06-2005, 05:40 PM

I don't know how many they ordered. I doubt it would be 22. More likely 13.

I think they might do both Season 4 and Season 5 as a mid-season replacement, which would probably be 13 episodes each... that would make 26 new episodes to add on to the 68 they already had, which would be 94 episodes for a syndication/off-network deal.

I don't think they would make 81 episodes only, when it would be so close to a deal. Isn't LTP owned by a studio of ABC or something like that as well... so then they would get a lot of profit from a syndication deal if that's true...

spunkygirl · 11-06-2005, 08:15 PM

94 would be close enough for it go into syndication wouldn't it? I've seen shows with 88 episodes and less go into syndication.

It seems like that would be enough. More importantly, I want the series t come to DVD.

hopefully it will be enough.

I heard that LTP will be coming back on Monday Nights when it returns, but I have no idea how reliable this is... just thought I'd throw it out there.
