It hasn’t been on for 2 weeks. Surely the writers strike couldn’t have had such an immediate effect…? Does anyone know what’s up? ---

More generally: > [@](#): > > Now networks are struggling with the question of whether to run out their remaining stockpiles or conserve the few episodes that remain. > > As the November “sweeps” ratings period winds down, “you may start to see some originals pulled to save a couple for January and beyond,” says Fox scheduling chief Preston Beckman. That’s the plan for Fox and CBS, anyway. But “at most they’ll have three or four (episodes), if that many.” [http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2007-11-19-strike-episodes\_N.htm](http://www.usatoday.com/life/television/news/2007-11-19-strike-episodes_N.htm) ---

The better question is why isn’t Boston Public on DVD. Oh Chi McBride, you ran such a strange high school, and made television watching on Monday nights tolerable before 24. ---

[QUOTE=Hazle Weatherfield] Where is Boston Public? [/QUOTE] Boston, probably. 😃 Actually, I finally gave up on the show early this season. Did David Kelley finally get off his increasingly large soapbox or is it still the same old same old? ---
