6 episodes and then a break.... WTF????


So we got 6 episodes and now they break till summer? Then we will get a few more? Does anyone remember when a season meant 25 episodes with NO breaks... except maybe on holidays?

I don't care what their reasoning is, six episodes is BULL POOP! Not even worth getting into the show. I doubt I'll be watching when they resume this summer because by then I just won't care, they haven't given us enough to be vested in it.

Idiots!

that's too bad you won't stay with the show..........it's been a great second season. Although, most of us hate the split...its what TNT wants...they claim the ratings are higher in the summer....Just happy that TNT picked up the show and continues to support it. They do a wonderful job advertising it. I love it and can't wait for the summer to come and see what's up for the guys :-)

Then air the show during the summer with 12 episodes.

I found this half season somewhat lackluster compared to the first season.

I think they're going to find they made a mistake by splitting it up like this.

I agree...it's a great show and I'll take what I can get.

lots of viewers feel like you do, but you put it so eloquently!
my sentiments exactly!

i think TPTB must think we're a bunch of 7 year olds with an attention span of about 10 minutes - or that we can only handle 6 episodes at a time...

they don't know how wrong they are! like you, they're not giving me enough of this show to keep me coming back...the idea of having to wait 'til this summer to see something new in the lives of these 3 guys just pi$$es me off...

Get with the time gramps. Sorry that there are so many tv channels that strategies have had to be developed to turn profits. I think its pretty awsome, and wish all the Cable sitcoms I watch took a lesson from south park's scheduling. If 12 episodes season broke off like this I wouldn't have to watch reruns of the shows all summer.

So, you're the moron they split the season for. Gramps up there has money to spend on products he won't see commercials for because he's pissed off about the season split, whereas morons like you are doing your best to just get by on your McDonald's check. If you're the audience the show = fail. If he's the audience the show = another full season. His opinion counts. Yours doesn't.

Who am I kiddin' who am I foolin' when they be like "What's up Fatlip?" and I say "Coolin'."
