If suicide is painless, why won't N@N show the episodes? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yet another skipped episode tonight. Two in one week, yet!

The one where Jo talks a fellow social worker out of committing suicide... needless to say, it won't be aired.

You know, early mornings (3 AM, that is) on USA is starting to look way more appealing than the way Nick at Nite is airing FoL. At least we'd get all the episodes on USA, or any other network.

This makes me wonder if N@N would ever air M*A*S*H, considering the theme song is called "Suicide Is Painless".

I agree with you. that is, if you are trying to say that skipping episodes is annoying. Im not sure if they skipped alot of episodes or if it's jus cuz i didnt get hooked on the FOL until a couple of months ago, but i always watch and if i cant, i tape the shows. what is up with skipping shows? i mean, it totally throws me off track. they should play all the episodes, two at a time, at the same time every nite.

If Jo talks someone OUT of committing suicide then why don't they show it? I mean it could really help someone out who is out there watching.

Beverly Ann: I wonder what's wrong with Jo.

Blair: Today or in general?

Blair: Where have you been?

Jo: At the library.

Blair: Oh, reading "Dumbo", how cute.

Jo: I don't have to read "Dumbo." I bunk right next to her.

Blair: But if I'm not perfect... and that's a *BIG* if, then it wasn't his place to say so.
Jo: You're right. It's my place to say so.
