There is a (N) in the TV Times blurb for tonight’s ep, but all it says is something about the late Mary Alice Young commenting on the lives of her pals. I can’t tell if anything is actually happening with them or not.

No, I believe it’s a clips show recapping last season.

Yep, that’s what my on-screen guide says, but it has it listed as “new”, too. I had forgotten I set it up as a series recording on my DVR. Kinda lost interest last season, so I think I’ll skip it this season, too.

Well, strictly speaking, a clips show that hasn’t been shown in that format is a new show, even if there’s little to no new material in it.

I was all set to watch it, but my crappy little TV died three minutes before and I was too tired to move to another room.
