Father of the Pride back on the air

This Tuesday, December 21, NBC will air the 8th episode of Father of the Pride, "Rehabilitation" in its old 9pm timeslot.

The following Tuesday, December 28th, NBC will air episodes 9, 10, and 11:
"The Thanksgiving Episode" at 8pm
"Sarmoti Moves In" at 830pm
"Road Trip" at 9pm.

That only leaves 2 more episodes unaired, as only 13 episodes were ordered by NBC. I don't know if they'll air in January or not.

Scrubs will be in reruns at 930 on both of these weeks.

You fixed the typo, but it was humorously more accurate: Father of the Pride cack on the air

I was one the few who liked this show. With my 2 minute pad on the beggining of Scrubs my tivo wasn't going to record it. Thanks for the heads up.

Plenty of S&R, but I don't think we got a single "S&R theme song" music cue last night.

The Dr. Phil parrot was good for a couple smiles.

I wondered where it had gone.

I liked it a bit. Something I'd watch if there wasn't anything else on.

That was a duck.

I really liked this episode. I laughed quite a few times... especially when S&R were in the Rehab Center drinking wine, talking about how it takes the edge off and how they couldn't live without it, as the patients were crowding around and staring at them.

Good stuff!

It was a duck!

And the line was something like, "We have built a home surrounded by a fence of love and you have just come in, torn thge fence down and pee'd all over it."

You're right, it was a duck.

I must of been thinking "parrot" because that seems to be more of a commentary on Dr. Phil than a duck is.

I was disappointed, especially since I really like this show. I thought this was the weakest episode of the series. With the exception of S&R drinking in the clinic, I hardly smiled the whole show...

Man NBC needs to stick with the show a little longer for it to be a hit. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me and now I'm a fan.

I think it's just too different to work right out of the gates. NBC just has to give people a chance to realize what it is.

They could have least shown it over 4 weeks to get a read on the ratings.

They're not even advertising it!

Too bad they're just burning it off.

Bump. They're dumping the last 3 episodes tomorrow. There were originally 13 episodes planned. Including the 3 airing this week that's 11. I'm guessing they never finished the final 2 before it got canned.

Didn't I already say all of that in my original post?

Never even heard of this, and came across it surfing last night. Caught the zebra ep and the trip thru the desert ep. Not too shabby, and a few lines that made you blink for a sec. Would like to see this given a chance.


And since someone mentioned it earlier, I watched Scrubs last night for the first time in ages, and the style of the show seemed different. Big change? And has Sarah Chalke (evil Becky from Roseanne) always been on the show?

Yes. She's always been there.

The quote of the night, last night:

Roy: "Be still my Heinrich [Snack], Roy's heart is as soft as the lotioned hands that now caress you like a velvet womb."

Snack: "You just said 12 words and 8 of them will get you shot in my neighborhood."

Did anybody else notice that the 8:30 episode on this week, "Sarmoti Moves In", was clearly supposed to be the pilot episode of the show? It introduced everyone and set up everything on the show. I wonder why NBC didn't air it as the first episdode, and waited until episode 10 to air it at all
