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

Yup, they'll likely resume in January and continue shooting through sometime in April. Last season a casting call for the finale didn't even go out until mid-March (it aired in May): http://en.wikipedia....We_Died#Casting

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"

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files

      This seems backwards. You should have to explicitly authorize files for outside use. It shouldn't be the default.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Wow you are right, I never even noticed this until you said it! (870E Aorus Master) Before testing this card I had a TP-Link tx401 10GbE PCIe card in that slot (now using XikeStor 310 Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter).

      Lack of 5.1 makes this a no sale. What I really wish creative would make would be a USB version that supports 5.1 analog audio for speakers, can switch to headphone mode, and matches the specs of their top tier cards. The current X870E AMD motherboards dont have a great option for adding a PCIE x1 card without cutting down pcie lanes to the graphics card.
    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot by Usama Jawad I have been actively using Microsoft Word for the past couple of decades in academic, professional, and personal capacities. Although I used it through the perpetual version of Office apps at the start, I have been an active subscriber of Microsoft 365 Family subscription for over five years now. This means that my Word installation is regularly updated with new features, some of which I don't really like, but that's beside the point. As new features get continuously added, old ones that used to be a staple of Word have started to take a backseat. While I was reminiscing over my Windows experiences from my childhood today, I suddenly remember one such capability that I heavily used in my younger years but have not really touched in over a decade, and haven't seen in documents created by others either. That feature is WordArt. Just to clarify, WordArt is not a Microsoft product specific to Word, and is included in other Office apps like PowerPoint and Excel too. However, Microsoft Word is the app that I used Word Art in heavily, while making assignments or other deliverables for school. If you're unaware, WordArt offers a collection of styling techniques for text, introducing 3D effects like shadows and reflections in the text. It used to be one of the coolest things ever when I was at school and me and my classmates would often compete to ensure that our assignment's title in WordArt was truly the best and stood out above the rest. See some examples of WordArt, still present in the latest versions of Word below: Although WordArt is undeniably cool, it has taken a bit of a backseat, and has been relegated from the Home tab to the Insert toolbar, along with a bunch of other utilities, making it very easy to miss. This isn't exactly surprising because WordArt doesn't really have a place in academic and professional documents anymore, and while I have seen some creatives using it while developing promo material, even that sector has gravitated more towards dedicated graphic designing tools in the past years. For the vast majority of us, WordArt doesn't really exist, and that's alright. At least, it's still an option that can allow us to reminisce our childhood or even make some quick text stylization, if we really need it. Perhaps its usage has waned over time or the novelty has worn off, but I haven't even seen children use it in their academic assignments anymore. In fact, many don't even know that it exists. Maybe that's the fate of every beloved feature. What once felt cutting edge eventually becomes a relic, quietly tucked away as tastes, trends, and technology move on. WordArt may no longer dominate school assignments or decorate the covers of classroom projects, but for those of us who grew up with it, it remains a colorful reminder of a time when making text glow, bend, and cast giant shadows felt like the height of creativity. Hidden behind a few clicks in modern Word, it still survives not as a productivity tool, but as a small piece of computing nostalgia that refuses to disappear.
