I just saw a commercial on TV. They will air a Micheal Jackson special on CBS instead of normal programming. I would rather watch anything instead of some washed-up, accused pedophile. He makes my skin crawl.

There’s a new episiode next week according to the TV Guide. Nothing I watch has had new episodes this week - if they’ve even been on - so I’m not too surprised.

Oh, damn. They pre-empted Joan for MJ??  
And that clip of Beyonce saying “We all want to be like Michael”…  
Are you sure about that, girl?

The promo I saw said Joan would be on an hour later–with a repeat of the boat-building episode.

Last week our local station pre-empted it for a St. Jude special.

But the week before that I did get to see an episode I missed…the one where the psychic helps the police find a missing child, and Joan has to learn to play chess.

I think everyone is still on Xmas break…new episodes for everything should start next week.
