Check on http://www.tvtome.com/ to see when new episodes air. Not sure why there wasn't a new episode of Lost last week, but Joey wasn't on because of a 1 hour Will and Grace episode, and ER I think was pre-empted by a special about Seinfeld. :unsure:

It happens with US television. I couldn't tell you why though, last year was the same with 24, Angel, Scrubs, Friends, etc. Sometimes there'd be weeks between episodes.

Most shows have 20-25 episodes in a season. The US tv season is from September/October to May - (up to 40 weeks) so they skip weeks that viewers are likely to be away from their televisions and show reruns. Last week was US Thanksgiving, so that would be my guess to a lot of shows being missed. Happens over Christmas holidays usually too.

Superb. Best thriller series I've watched in a long time, great concept as well.

First series is the best and probably available from Bittorrent...

i have lived without the TV for quite some time now.

Liberating.

Allthought, I miss some TV shows but I just DL them nowadays.
And movies. Using PC as teh multimedia center.
Much more less advertising and other annoying factors.

Im not in a hurry to get me TV anytime soon.

:D

I think the most popular TV channel in Finland is MTV-3 , thats Mainos-TV.
"Mainos" translates to Commercial, or Advertisement.

They got comerc-break every 10 min for about 2 to 5 min.

Extremely annoying to try to watch anything from it.

I saw a bit the same on NYC, watching telly in hotel and the same
shit, nothin but commercials. Same in Norway too.
Its just too much advert.

We should develope a TV with AdBlock plus other useful lextensions a'la Firefox.
:D

Thank God Ye Ol Mighty for teh internjet.
