My husband and I are big fans of the TV show “Third Watch”. It was supposed to have it’s season premier a few weeks ago. It didn’t air the week of the national tragedy, which is understandable, but I haven’t heard anything about it since. The show revolves around New York City Police and Firemen, so I’m wondering if that is the reason it hasn’t been shown. Has anyone heard that this is the case, and if it is does anyone know if or when it will return ? ---

It’s being delayed by a couple weeks. I’m not even gonna try and give you a date, since everything’s been mixed up with a blender, but I think it’ll be on by the end of October. ---

Well, the show is filmed in Manhattan, which is a rather inconvenient place to shoot cop-and-fireman shows just now. So more than simply delaying the airing, production is being pushed back.
