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"

      Anybody that thinks flying cars were possible are idiots. Everyone would basically need a pilot licence, can you imagine how insane and dangerous that would be, people can barely handle driving on land safely right now.

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
