Does FX show Ally the 30 minute version? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Does anybody remember the plain Ally show that was 30 minutes? Does FX show the Ally show with the Ally McBeal hour long show? j/w

I remember Ally. Kelley created the 30 minute show so it would be more attractive to put into syndication. However, to answer your first question, I do not know if FX airs it.

FX does not air Ally. It is pretty much the same episode just without the court cases.

Oh okay, thanks for answering my question. I just figured since the Ally show is 30 minutes and they didn't make all that many eps, they would show them on FX. Thanks for clearing me up.

I never understood the logic behind the thirty minute "Ally" episodes.
Let's hack the show in half and only show the good parts.
Is that supposed to attract viewers?

Apparently you weren't the only one. I was still watching the hour Ally episodes when they brought on mini Ally eps. Even then I was thinking, why are they doing that?

I could understand saving it for like a dvd bonus or something, but I didn't see the point in the mini Ally being on tv.

I know, it was a pretty stupid idea. Ally was a hot show in its first three seasons, so Fox decided to captailze off of it. It didn't work.
