Skin???
Did anyone else see the commercial for skin last night on Fox. This show had been cancelled, is it coming back?? I was under the impression Fox wanted to forget the show ever happened.

Dude I swear; I was watching "That 70's Show" and between that and the World Series the Commercial for "Skin" was on, the only thing is that it was the same spot I remember airing before, the shows original run which makes me wonder if it may have been accidental; but then again how could it have been.

I'm still pissed at FOX for the utter lack of patience it exhibited with this show.

Maaaaan!! didn't anyone else see the damn commercial?! I feel like I may be going crazy, but I can't believe that I could've just imagined seeing it.
I even thought to myself "ahh maybe they are advertising it for fx" nope not the case, no mention of it there.
someone tell me they saw the spot.

Skin is coming back - sort of.
SOAPnet Shows Some 'Skin'
(Wednesday, January 12 02:53 PM)
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The very short-lived drama "Skin" is getting a second life, thanks to cable channel SOAPnet.
The series, which lasted only three weeks on FOX last season, will get a full run on SOAPnet this year, the Disney-owned network announced Wednesday (Jan. 12). That full run consists of eight episodes, the number of shows produced before FOX pulled the plug.
The channel has also picked up "The Monroes," a Washington-set drama about a powerful political family starring William Devane ("24") and Susan Sullivan ("Dharma & Greg") that aired on ABC in 1995. SOAPnet will show all eight episodes, including three that never saw the light of day on ABC.
"Short-lived series have a home on SOAPnet," says Deborah Blackwell, general manager of the channel. "The acquisitions of 'Skin' and 'The Monroes' continue to establish our brand as a home for all soaps and provides our viewers with a 24-hour soapy environment."
"Skin" is a Romeo-and-Juliet-like story set in present-day Los Angeles, centering on Adam (D.J. Cotrona), the son of the district attorney, and Jewel (Olivia Wilde, "The O.C."), the daughter of a porn producer that the D.A. is trying to prosecute. It was also FOX's first collaboration with bigshot producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Despite heavy promotion during FOX's 2003 baseball playoff coverage and a fair amount of critical praise, the show tanked when it hit the air, drawing only about 5.2 million viewers in its brief run. It was the first real scripted dud from Bruckheimer TV (not counting the never-aired WB pilot "Fearless"), the hit factory behind the "CSI" franchise, "Without a Trace" and "Cold Case."
Both "Skin" and "The Monroes" are set to premiere in the spring, joining a SOAPnet stable of prime-time soaps that includes "Beverly Hills, 90210," "Dynasty," "Melrose Place" and "Dallas."

The show was cancelled and the actors have moved on. The blond chick is on The OC now and Laura Leighton is in a midseason replacement series so it doesnt sound like it will be back.

That's what the 'sort of' was for.
