I wish FOX in the US would have the sense not to start new shows till after the World Series. No wonder why shows lose ratings, if the show isn't on for a few weeks people lose interest and move on...

How can it not be the best baseball league in the world, who else is there to compete with?

Sorry, never saw your response. The Japanese league, Cuban league... I mean, I don't even understand what you're saying. And if there were no other leagues, wouldn't the name "World Series" be even more apt, given that the best from across the world would have to come to the MLB?

Why stop at World Series? :D

Decent episode. But why was there a flat screen tv in the house at the end when it clearly hadn't been lived in for years. Major balls up there!

I loved the episode, but that was literally the first thing I thought as soon as he took the sheet off :laugh:

Unrelated: the husband in the episode was Milton from Office Space (or Gordon from Dodgeball).

I thought the samething. Walter hasn't been in that house in about 20yrs since he was in the mental place for 17yrs and then Olivia pulled him out "3yrs ago" so who was there watching nice brand new LCDs?

Eitherway, good episode though but what's this about 2 month break? :no: (N)

They start filming these episodes in the spring to summer, they don't film every week when shows come out. Filming is usually 3-6 months and then editing takes up the rest. So it's just a break for breaking purposes.

That's not even remotely true, I have no idea where you got your information.

Production on almost every TV show doesn't begin until summer, at the earliest. Filming almost never takes place in the spring unless it's an atypical situation, such as Breaking Bad shooting it's final season early. Filming doesn't "usually [last] 3-6 months and then editing takes up the rest." They don't film and then edit -- they film, the editing team edits, and they continue filming. This is how every television show I've ever heard of operates. It's a process where they continuously shoot and edit. That's why you almost never have the same director a whole season on a show -- it's far too much work to produce, film, and edit, and wouldn't work very well.

Also, filming is almost always done on a weekly basis, unless there's a scheduled break or an unforeseen problem (Alcatraz and Awake recently shot their first few episodes for the fall before shutting production down for the writing team to catch up, for instance).

Simply read up on the production of television shows on a site like, for instance, Deadline. It will give you all this information.

Edit: Take, for instance, the fact that a guest actor wasn't even signed to a deal until July for the season premiere -- http://en.wikipedia....ge)#cite_note-5

how is this question brought up every year? do people not remember how television works...this has happened this way for basically forever...yet every year around the holidays, summer, weeks off to stretch until May, there's always people going "OMG!!! my TV shows...where are they going? I don't get it...don't take them away...durrrrrrrrrr"

      You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Phillip0web · Posted

      They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • Windows 11 version 26H2 is now available for testing in the latest preview build

      By Steven P. · Posted

      24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
