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"

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

      By sphbecker · Posted

      This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn guns and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By RejZoR · Posted

      Recycle Bin has been broken for literal YEARS now. The setting to delete files older than 30 days from the bin which is on by default doesn't even work. I have files older than 4 months in it and they are just there still...
