The Sopranos is over and my Sunday nights are sooooo empty now. Does anyone know when SFU starts again. I couldn’t find anything on the HBO website.

TIA,

SOON!

That’s what HBO’s ‘commercial’ said.

Are they going with the final season of Oz in the primo Sunday 9 p.m. slot?

The final–sob!–season of OZ begins January 5, in the Sunday 9pm slot. I don’t remember details, but I believe it’s a shortened run.

Thanks. They’ll probably start SFU when Oz is over. How many episodes are there in the final season of Oz?

I heard it was a paltry eight (see this [fan forum site](http://www.jadaproductions.com/oz/getthread.asp?mydate=All&recordnumber=12801725&threadnumber=26384&threadname=Characters%2C+Episodes+and+Scenes&threadtopic=S6+Episode+Titles) but be forewarned, some folks aren’t so good with spoilers and I’m afraid to look any further), but that seems like an awfully low number, even for a shortened season.

Oh boy!!

SOON!!

Thanks HBO, that really helps my Six Feet Under weekly craving. I’ve been watching the reruns but it’s just not the same.

It premieres the first Sunday in March.

Hey, this seems like a great place to ask something I’ve been meaning to.

The (eeeeeevil) cable company shut off my HBO and Showtime, and I really don’t care except that I’m going to miss SFU.

If I sent somebody a few bucks for tapes and shipping, would someone be willing to tape the episode \*every \*Sunday night and send them all to me at some point?
