I think KoP is a repeat tonite.

What a sad TV night. Only American Idol and Boston Legal for me!

You're right...it is a repeat. That's for pointing that out.

Yeah, my partner will have on American Idol and I will watch Boston Legal. Although I'm going to DVR Big Day because it's the last one and I kind of want to see how it all ends up. I also DVR'd Lifetime's Gay Straight or Taken last night which we'll probably watch before Idol. We both always try to guess who the gay one is -and we both pick within the first 5 minutes - so far I'm winning 3 to 1.

Hmm, since I have my radio show, it will be tape KoP and Boston Legal.

Not many good choices tonight. I think I will watch House, DVR Veronica Mars for viewing at a later date, and clean out my DVR. I have some prison break to catch up on.

I thought there were two more episodes of Big day coming? "The Ceremony" and well, I don't want to name the last ep since it might be a bit of a spoiler. But supposedly both eps were going to air tonight. Did this change?

ABC, in a pique of spite to fans of this show, has pulled the post-wedding reception episode in favour of a Knights re-run, and there is no scheduled date for episode 13. At least until sweeps are completed. I still remember those adverts that cordially invited us to a wedding. Well, we've now been told by ABC, no need to attend the reception, thank you very much.

I forecast that Knights will dip about 40% below Big Day's lead-in numbers and plunge to HUT, share and demo depths not seen since In Case of Emergency's weakest airing. The Knights of Prosperity will give Miss Veronica Mars a 9:30 pm bump in the numbers and deliver Boston Legal an MNT-level lead-in.

I predict that more people will switch to House at 9:30 than Veronica. People can tune in just to see him solve the mystery illness. It is always a mystery illness and it doesn't matter who the patient is, you don't have to try and figure out what case is being investigated and why like Veronica.

It won't be lupus. It's never lupus. ;-)

Finally a new episode of House. This is great news. Then at 10 a switch to Law and Order: SVU. Why is this Law and Order the only one still worth watching? I think that Meloni and Hargitay deserve their raises and have proven Wolf was wrong that all actors are replaceable.

Episode 13 was not the 'post-wedding reception.' Episode 13 was actually an episode that was shot much earlier in the run, it may have been episode 4 or 5, and was not run (why I don't know). So I think ABC is not airing it because it would not make sense to have an episode about planning the wedding/the lead up to the wedding, after the actual wedding airs at 9pm.

Well, I stand corrected. Thank you for seetting me straight, TVviewer123. There was no fit of pique by ABC programmers, only from this writer. ABC is forgiven.

I would like to thank ABC programming department for giving this series as full of a run as possible, and if a hole should develop elsewhere in their comedies lineup, I wouldn't mind seeing episode 13 at some point down the road.

I am not disappointed to see this series end its run either. While the series had its funny moments, I never really took a cotton to the couple nor their friends.

This short-run series will instead always serve as a valuable addition to the resumes of the Madeline-Kahn-like manic antics of ex-MADtver Ms. Stephanie Wier (the wedding planner) and the ever-so-uptight Ms. Wendie Malick (the mother). Both actresses deserve a curtain call reward of another comedy series.

Well, just AI and Boston Legal for me.
