NBC is a bunch of cowards. I tuned into Law And Order last night expecting to see an original show and it was a repeat too. They never advertized it as such.

I agree with Mr. Roper. NBC really wimped out. Rather than face a possible defeat in the ratings, they decided to sit it out.
Now they know how the other networks feel on Thursday night.

Still, there will be a limited number of original "Friends" episodes this season (16 I think as apposed to the tradtional 22) so it would be to thier best interest not to waste them.

It's a shame the Cubs didn't make it to the big dance. The NLCS posted some big ratings, thanks mostly to the Cubs fans.

I think there will actually be only 18 episodes, I heard they tape the finale in January.

How are they going to keep the finale a secret for 5 months??? That's gonna be hard. I really wish they would've done a full 22 episode season, but oh well.
