Superbowl · 11-28-2005, 10:41 AM

Yes, as far as I know it is.

Number 9 Dream · 11-28-2005, 01:58 PM

Oh, man, I sincerely hope so! I've been looking forward to this since I found out! I'm really excited that it's only a little more than a month away

I plan on taping the episodes this time

Pavan · 11-28-2005, 02:16 PM

It will be. Starting in January, weekdays 4-5 p.m. The exact launch date is unknwon, but most likely will be Jan. 9

Buffyboy323 · 11-29-2005, 12:13 AM

Thanks alot Pav. And everyone tape all the episodes. It's only going to be there until september.(Reba is replacing it). Hopefully it'll be on abcfamily next fall, or better yet, on DVD in the near future.

Mrs. John Ritter · 11-29-2005, 06:39 PM

I can't wait for it to come on. I am going to have to tape all of the episodes this time. I cant wait to see my honey.

I know what you mean there chica..you are a girl after my own heart!!!! I am sooooooo excited, i am definitley going to tape it... ALL OF IT!!!!!

Buffyboy323 · 12-04-2005, 04:04 AM

Oh Dear God! I just thought of something. Since it's going to be on WPIX/WB, that's local syndication. Does everyone think they're going to show the episodes in order??? (Local channels can mix up the episodes at least once). We're all planning on taping them, so I hope they play them all in order!!!! (Especially since it's only going to be there until september)

What's everyone think?

Superbowl · 12-04-2005, 10:49 AM

The episodes will definitely be in order. I heard the reason they did not sell the show into local syndication is that the local stations might play them out of order, and ABC thought it would be confusing to the audience to have John Ritter in it one day, and James Garner and David Spade in another day. That is why the WB is controlling it to all their affiliates and they should be in order.

Buffyboy323 · 12-04-2005, 05:12 PM

Thanks alot. Woohoo! In order. I'll definately be taping them. Not to jump too far ahead, but Do you know if it's only leaving the afternoon block in september 2006, or the network completely?

Oh thank goodness. I was wondering if they were going to be in order. It would be confusing if they had John on one day and then James and David on the next. I will definately be taping them all. I am so excited. I really miss the episodes with John. I can't wait to see my angel.

The show is only sold to the WB for syndication through September 2006. What happens after then I supppose depends on what the ratings are ? Spread the word and have all your friends, neighbors and relatives watch.
