[Set for June 13 on ABC](http://television.aol.com/tv_calendar). This is the first place I’ve seen it scheduled and I hope it’s right. I really want to see the series wrapped up. I miss them already.

I also see according to the link in the link that there is a show on May 30th as well. 😃

It aired in Europe some time ago. I rather enjoyed the last three episodes and am very happy with the ending.

I won’t give anything away, but they did at least try to throw an “ending” of sorts for the various characters. I mean, it could easily continue past this episode, but there was a little tag on the end regarding what happened to the key characters, which is nice.

Sad to see it go, though.

Already set my DVR to record the first two episodes, just in case I forget (which isn’t likely).

I almost don’t want to watch it so it will never be over. ☹

Does anyone know if abc will post the episodes online after they air them? I want to know I have a backup plan in case I miss it.

Thanks to my friends in Ireland, I got to see it. Nice ending, but not so final they couldn’t continue the story if there was enough demand.

I have it marked on my calendar…May 30, 10pm.

And l **evdrakon** , you keep quiet. I’ve only got three more episodes of Pie Hole-goodness to wallow in, and you will not make a peep, hear? Or I will sic Digby on you.

I know there was some buzz about trying to get it picked up by another network (possibly on cable), but, as time has passed since the original cancellation announcement, I think that’s become less likely.

It’s a shame it’s coming to an end. The show was too awesome for its own good.

And I’ll miss Anna Friel. Miss her a very great deal.

She’s a cutie, all right (though I still prefer Kristin Chenoweth).

Anna’s presence in “Land of the Lost” this summer _almost_ would get me to see it…but I’d have to mentally block out Will Ferrell to do it. Sorry, Anna, not gonna happen. 😛

And I just want to say “Good job to ABC for placing the last 3 episodes in such a desireable timeslot”. :rolleyes: Seriously ABC…Saturday night at 10 pm? And not a peep on TV so far about it. :mad: They want to be able to say “We aired the last 3 episodes and see how bad the ratings were! We made the right decision cancelling the show.” Grrrr.

As of right now, the DVD is scheduled for release on July 21st - only a month(ish) after the final episode airs - so if they don’t put it online at least it won’t be that long a wait (compared to the 5 months they’ve made us wait for these 3 eps) if you miss it.

Well of course. Kristin Chenoweth is evidence for the existence of a benovolent Deity. Friel is merely pretty. I don’t know what the hell is wrong with Ned.
