Any episode that works in GOB’s theme (Europe’s Final Countdown) is fine by me. “Its’ as Anne as the nose on plain’s face.” I had forgotten about that line. 😃 They also ran an ad touting the “final three episodes of the season.” The fact that they speficify the number left doesn’t fill me with hope, but the “of the season” part leaves a little. ---

Sorry for the false alarm. My online guide said there would be two episodes but didn’t say what they were. I figured better safe than sorry. ---

> [@Wolfian](#): > > They also ran an ad touting the “final three episodes of the season.” The fact that they speficify the number left doesn’t fill me with hope I really have to give Fox some credit for this. They are hyping it a bit, by making it seem like an event sorta situation. And picking it to fill some holes is a good thing – maybe someone who doesn’t watch it on Sundays may catch it tonight and see how friggin’ funny it is. ---
