What is the deal with this show. I enjoy it and all, but can’t for the life of me tell when it is going to fucking be on! Originally it starts out in a ~14day back to back sequence. Odd, but considering it was a off sweeps filler program I can accept that. Then its gone for a couple of weeks until the network can organize another 2 week spurt. Then for the rest of the fall they run it on whatever night they don’t seem to have a new episode of a series to show. Then Regis makes a big deal out of ABC signing them up for a permanent deal of Tuesday-Thursday-Sunday at 8PM/7PM. Now its on Wednesday night at 7 central. Last week I catch it on from 7:30-8:30 one off night. Pick a damn night people! Anyone know if there was a new change I’m unaware of? ---

Omni - they did decide on Tuesday/Thursday/Sunday, but since this is the last week of sweeps, they decided to have it on every night but Saturday. I think it will be on through this Thursday, and then back to the regular schedule. And you definitely should be a contestant! I’ll kick in a bottle of booze for ya too. ---

Nope. No one even knows who he is. However, there are about 7 guys with his name in Chicago & you could use one of them instead & then people would think that its Cecil.
