"Have you done her?"

Glad to see this back on the air.

I was flipping through the channels recently and noticed that Marguerite Moreau ("Ms. Young") was the girl in The Mighty Ducks. I knew I recognized her face from somewhere. And she also had a bit part in Runaway Jury.

I'm a little miffed. I watched the marathon of this show on MTV last week, and while not the best show ever, it was pretty fun. The interaction between the characters was just nice to watch. So I figure screw Apprentice let me tune in to watch this. What do I find? Some damn christmas special on by the name of "An inconvenient christmas" or some other incredibly appropriate name.

GRR to local affiliates frellin with the schedule. Maybe MTV will run this again this weekend.

This show is great just to see how much ABC can piss off moral minority and FCC.

The black chick (Sue?) looked awesome in that red dress.

boredsilly - you in the Bible Belt. Sounds like your affiliate doesn't like the content.

I live in a blue state and my local affiliate did not air this until 1:35 am so they could air some freakin' Billy Graham show. I am seriously considering writing a nasty letter to my station. I could understand if we were in Utah or something- but Detroit?

Billy Graham in Utah? Wrong region of the country, sistah!




That does suck that a few of have shittier affiliates than my local ABC, which I always thought was the worst in the country.

I'm just glad I have Tivo and it picked up the 1:35 showing. I feel bad for most people who would have not known about when it was shown or not have been able to watch it. (Yeah, let's air a teen show at 2 am on a weeknight.)

At least my local affiliate reported the schedule change. I was reading the TWOP thread and someone's Tivo recorded what it thought was Life as We Know It, but when they watched it, it turned out to be the Graham special. That would have really pissed me off. I

I am not wildly in love with the show but I hate having any of my TV shows messed with.

Sue did look great in that dress, but how about earlier in the episode, at school, when she was wearing some tight pink-ish shirt and a skirt? She was nippin' out like crazy.

I am starting to enjoy this show a hell of a lot more than I ever thought I would, especially considering I almost didn't even give it a shot because of Kelly Osbourne, who I utterly detest. She still annoys me here, but she isn't enough to drive me away from the show.

I also had the same problem in Baltimore, MD. I was able to watch the episode tonight after having it sent to my Replay through Poopli, so at least I didn't miss it. But I am annoyed. I wrote a politely worded e-mail of protest to the general manager of ABC2 news this evening, just asking why it was bumped, why it's apparently going to be bumped next Thursday, and when they will air these episodes. It's just cowardly bullshit, but I'm curious as to what explanation will be proffered. There's no more pedophilia on this show than there is on Desperate Housewives (another show I enjoy), so I can't see that any explanation will be convincing. F the FCC.

I believe WMAR is owned by Sinclair Broadcasting, which is the same company that refused to air the Nightline where the names of the dead soldiers in Iraq were read and wanted to air the Anti-Kerry 30-minute spot. In other words, they are a conservative outfit.

I actually like this show, even though it's kind of sad when the best actor/actress on the show is Kelly Osbourne.

The parts where the characters face the audience and complain are somewhat painful (as far as acting is concerned). That said, I like the show, and think it definitely has some really good moments.

Yeah, I'm in Baltimore as well(go us!). It didn't even cross my mind that it was a content issue - not for a second. Nothing about the show really seems that offensive compared to Desperate Housewives (like you stated & I too enjoy) or season one of Dawson Creek which was on a zillion years ago. Oh well, I will just find other means to watch the show. I must nurse this weird crush I have on Kelly Osbournes character some way.
