Henry's Bitter Half Skipped - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Hi, did anyone else notice Henry's Bitter Half was skipped on ION?
It also looks like they are going to skip Who's Kissing the Great Chef of Phoenix.

What gives?!!

I sent them an email like I did when they skipped "Earthquake"...they just said it was pre-empted.

Looks like they might be skipping "Mel's Cousin, Wendell" too. I don't see it listed in the next 2 weeks, and it's a 5th season episode, they start 6th season ones on Tuesday. Incidently, for those Welcome Back, Kotter fans, Arnold's girlfriend/wife Mary will be on an episode Monday night, and Arnold will be on a week from Tuesday, along with Jay Leno, as bikers.

edit: "Mel's Cousin, Wendell" was a 5th season episode, but apparently was held until the 6th season due to a writers strike (sound familiar?

) Apparently "Vera's Bouncing Check" was also held until the 6th season too. If they're showing them in original airdate order though, I still think they're skipping "Mel's Cousin, Wendell"

wonder if they are skipping any episodes of Drew Carey

Looks like ION is showing the 5th season episodes they skipped, Henry's Bitter Half, Mel's Cousin Wendell, and Who's Kissing the Great Chef of Phoenix are all listed on the schedule (at titantv.com) this week. Also a few other earlier shows, Love is a Free Throw and Vera Robs the Cradle are listed (those might be because of "crushes" since this week is Valentines Day, as both episodes feature a crush on an older woman)

I love Mel's Cousin Wendall. That episode is a riot.

Well I guess we all know now that it's no need to hope ION will air all the episodes because it's not what he network does

what do you mean? So far, as far as I know, with these being aired, the only one skipped was Earthquake. That may have been an error, who knows. They're not starting over, just showing those few they skipped a few weeks ago.

I'm saying that since it has been revealed that ION has the tendency to SKIP eps, it's just something for us to expect from ION now and not be surprised or upset when it happens
