I saw the blog entry but if he can have an album done to promote on January 30th I'll eat my shoes!

I didn't mean the album would be done on January 30th.;)

I'm not sure how long the season is for DFTL ... but, from what I've heard, Rick Springfield sang his new single at the end of the show last week. So maybe they're going to show Meat's episode sometime later on in the season (this spring perhaps) when he'll have a single ready to promote at the end of the show. IMO it would make a lot of sense with the new CD coming out.

Of course it all comes down to the people at FOX Network. But I wouldn't say they postponed Meat's episode for "something better" like Penn & Teller :roll:

Big meal :D

so youre saying he should promote a single in spring 09, when the album will probably be released in spring 10, when the show has been recorded in autumn 08?

That's true...the show is already recorded...so Rick Springfield already had a single by the time he was on the show (sorry, I just don't follow his career as maybe I should...lol)...

Didn't even think about it...

Do you want fries with that?

I don't think he'll make the mistake of "leaking" anything too early like TMIL.

Personally i'd like him to release the album when it's ready and not rushing anything.

In all honesty how many people would have rushed out to buy rick springfield's new album/single based on Don't Forget the lyrics?

He'll probably seel some compiliations and it'll remind people he is around but i don't think he'll see it as a major platform to shift albums.

I would think Meat is in the same boat

OK...here is a puzzle for all of you...tomorrow's show is replaced with an old episode of Lie to Me which we just saw this Wednesday...go figure...

what are the ratings of the show? did they might cancel it as it's not popular enough...happens to a lot of shows over here, even after one or two episodes. (as i recall the german version of DFTL was cancelled as well, although I could be wrong and they just produced a few episodes)

I don't suppose it is the most popular show ever...but it was on consistently every Friday at the same time for a couple of years now...taking a new episode off the air just to re-run something that was run just this Wednesday at prime time is a bit strange...have to poke around later on to see what can be found...

On the other hand....it could nothing more sinister than just trying a new slot for a new show that Fox has been pushing very hard - Lie To Me...which is a decent show regardless of the spot...Fox is a garbage network but you do have to give them a credit for coming out with the best and most creative shows out of all basic networks...

Aren't Fox renowned in the States for messing the schedules up at the last minute on a cnosistent basis?

Patti posted a MySpace bulletin last night to say it's definitely on tonight...very confusing

Not really...not until now...or maybe I wasn't paying attention before...

There is a slight chance that there is a mistake in TV Guide...because show at 8 pm listed is old House episode and at 9 pm old Lie To Me episode...2 old shows in a row...possible mistake...

No mistake...Fox actually advertises House and Lie at new times today...there is no show next week either...there is Cops and America's Most Wanted or something like that...

It doesn't come as a surprise. :twisted:

I really want to watch this! What are we UK non-Sky stupid youtube people to do? *weeps*

So, did the Meat episode actually air after? If not any ideas when or if it will now?

I think they recorded the episode and then either it wasn't good or the show got cancelled before they aired it...the show doesn't appear to be on in a regular FOX line up...

Awww - that sucks. Hopefully it will see the light of day eventually :?

Thanks for the info though.

anyone care to contact fox and ask whats going on?

They seem to be airing the series over here now, couple of episodes a day on Sky 1.

Don't panic, we're recording each and every one and if the particular episode we're only interested in is shown it'll be uploaded somewhere for your pleasure.

Ps, god it's a crap program!!!!!!!!!!

No, but you could if you wanted ;)

Pud :twisted:

Actually, they have a website...and they have daily line up...and the show just isn't listed right now on Fridays. There are two new shows in that time slot...maybe they will bring it back when they run out of the new episodes of the new shows...and I am sorry but I can't contact Fox for fear of catching something nasty...lol...

think thats unlikely....when a show's dead it's dead (at least over here)
