Very very good.  Lois fat was something else...can you imagine them actually being able to cut that much fat off a person at once?\n\nI was surprised to see Stewie's sperm brother back, but it was great.\n\nThis show is constantly outdoing itself!

I liked the show. I live in Houston and they originally showed it on Monday at 7pm right before Girlfriends season finale. I hope that it will last because I see that it definitely has potential to be a funny show. I remember when Half & Half first aired, I loved the show but I was scared that it was going to get canceled because many people said that it was corny. But look how far it has come. I beleive that f enough people will give House of Payne a chance then it will be a hit.

I believe the 15 million figure was exploded by Rush, and that was acknowledged by Majors in the House, on television.  Its kind of like the 800.000 man march or the 2 million Jews that have been added to the statistics in the last 50 years.\n\nHave you ever heard of the Trail of Tears? That was about Americans dying.

Well it wasnt that big with ratings so the WB ended the show. I know that it was only on for about 60 episodes. I dont really remember an exact ending for the show since it has been over 4 years now but I think it ended with the story still open and them leaving town. I would buy the dvds if they were cheaper.

Somewhere along the line the networks decided that it would be more profitable to start running news programs on saturday morning.  One bleak saterday, kids got up, grabbed their cereal, and collectively screamed as all 4 networks had the "talking-head brigade" in full force.  A couple of things helped to push the networks this way.  One was that cable was starting to come into its own, and you had the early "kids" cable stations like nickelodeon showing the smae lower-budget cartoons all the time.  The other is that the "good" cartoons by the mid 80's were all syndicated, and were being sold for higher prices, hard to buy enough of these for both afterschool and saturday mornings.

Great show... aired Friday nights at 8:00pm on CBS. Then Sci-Fi Network picked up the re-runs. Wish they would show it again.

Were Americans watching anyway?  The answer to that is no, unfortunately.  I am a massive hockey fan, but I also happen to work in the television industry so I understand how ratings work and why ESPN dropped its coverage - it's hard to fault them for turning their back on the NHL (bowling was getting higher ratings... BOWLING, people...).  Americans don't particularly care about hockey enough in general, and while an All-Canadian final is unlikely (only Calgary and 8-seed Edmonton are alive out West), it would certainly turn off a few more televisions in the States.

I agree.  It was a terrific show!  I was disappointed when it quit airing.  As far as I know, it hasn't been available on VHS or DVD.  Most people probably have never heard of it.  I wish it would come out on DVD, but I doubt that it will happen.  If anyone knows differently, please let us know.

Yes, it was pretty bad.  Not bad for good either.  Just bad.  Most of these peeps have never heard of it and they should count their blessings!  It was made-for-tv in a bad way!  I'd already forgotten about...lol and it's only been out couple years, very unforgettable!  good question :-)

I think they move that show to AM for the 'schools out' months. Keep checking your local schedule. I live in central time and have seen it in passing while channel surfing. I think it was in AM though. I am sure it wasn't canceled, too popular.

The answer is Meet the Press, which has been running since 1947.  I don't know how many episodes have aired, though.

I think those episodes are syndicated, I believe they all all reruns. They come on at 6am on the east coast. I have an open question about The Lost World too. Must not be a popular show. The last episode I saw the other night was the one where Margarette, Roxton, and the reporter get trapped in a castle and reenact some play, but there friends come and save them. Can you describe some of the things that happened in the episode you saw? There was another recent one where a plane from 2001 has engine trouble and sets down on the plateau.
