Nobody's attacking you. We're disagreeing with you. When you grow up, you'll understand the distinction.

Since Furyfire rather colourfully declined to reveal her sources I did a little web research on my own.

This is the most up to date info I could find on the subject -

http://www.emonline.com/news/web072202.html

Scroll down to the section headed 'Fox revival in the offing?'. Keep scrolling until you reach a paragraph which begins 'In case the threatened baseball strike materializes'

Basically their contingency plan involves going ahead with the fall schedule for 4 days of the week and possibly delaying the other 3. Crucially for us Friday is in the 4 that's definitely going ahead as planned.

Quote:
Prior to the week of Sept. 24, the Nielsen-sanctioned official start of the 2002-03 season, Fox will premiere four nights -- Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings -- starting Sept. 14, before Major League Baseball's tentatively planned October post-season playoffs, Ms. Berman said.

also

Quote:
Ms. Berman said the rollout of Thursday, "the night most impacted by sports preemptions," will have a delayed rollout to "some time" following the November sweeps. Nevertheless, with over half of Fox's schedule unspooling in September, Ms. Berman said she thinks it mitigates the effect of a baseball players' work stoppage on Fox's other planned debuts.

"We're not prepared to lay out the [entire] contingency plan" if there is a baseball strike, Ms. Berman reiterated, when asked if it would mean pushing up the Sunday and Monday premieres if October again goes without a playoff post-season.

So it seems that Furyfire had just confused the days - unless it's changed since that article (22nd July).

Oh and Furyfire - please don't think of this as an 'attack', it's not, it's just me trying to find out what's going on. Being a mere mortal and a foreigner to boot it sometimes takes me a little longer.

Perhaps I misread this, but the article doesn't specifically say that shows could get delayed by the baseball strike. What it does say is that the possibility of a strike is making it hard for Fox to finalize its Thursday night schedule and that a strike would hurt the network overall. I'd guess that if there is a strike, they'll actually premiere a lot of shows earlier than they would otherwise.

Gail Berman is an interesting person. When she was head of Fox's TV studios, she was the one that persuaded Whedon to turn Buffy into a TV series, and got the resources together to make it happen.

I didn't say "when you're full grown". I said "when you grow up".

So ask Haken to remove your user data from the system. I'm sure he'd be only too pleased!

Here's a suggestion: learn to interact without going ballistic. I mean, you start calling people names, they're certainly not going to want to buy your scripts!

We're rude for simply replying? E-mail notifications are easily deletable. I don't know why you're so huffy about it.

You seem not to handle criticim well. We're only engaging, debating, challenging -- not attacking. To disagree is *not* to hate. Just chill, and maybe we won't be so "ignorantly rude" in your eyes.
