A quick blurb about two of my favorite cable shows, which both happen to be on FX.
Damages, which got the go-ahead for a second season, is apparently rumored to not return until January, 2009. That’s a heck of a long ways off and starts to really make my summer viewing depressing.
To make matters worse, Rescue Me isn’t even coming back until MARCH of 2009, even further down the road.
This is all going to make the hot months interesting. As I’ve opened my eyes to the fact that cable has some REALLY good shows out there, it’s become a dependable place to find some good stuff during the summer. Flight of the Conchords, Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Battlestar Galactica are a few of the others I enjoy.
With the report of Entourage not coming back until September, I guess I will be catching up on a lot of reading during July, August and September.
Oh, my. Is that March 2009 for Rescue Me really official????? Gawd, how annoying to wait that much!!!!!!!!!!! Don’t they (FX) have a heart?
They have a heart, but the strike put them way behind
Thank you! Well, at least we’re getting the S4 DVDs soon…. :))
btw, some people elsewhere, insist on a July 1st premiere. I’m already scared to argue because the mere mention of a later date seems to give them coronaries, lol
Well, the Ausiello guy who I linked to in this story said 2009, and I can’t find anything else other than Wikipedia that says July 1st.
Until I hear otherwise, I’m thinking 2009
Yeah, I’m waiting for the official announcement too. Thanks for your fast replies!
Still…2009??????? :(((((((
I think there are a lot of shows like that…Entourage for example, on HBO…I’m pretty sure it’s not back until 2009 either, yet it usually shows in the summers.
The strike just put things all out of whack.
Here is a pretty good summary of expected returns:

Yeah and now you have the actors strike looming on top of all this already pushed back delayed stuff…
@Andy, well we do know officially Bionic Woman is dead, even though that link has a question mark next to it. Journeyman was never and stillisnt offcially dead, but it hasnt even been mentioned at all, so we assume its deadarama
Yikes. I really hope they can take a clue and resolve things quickly. An actors’ strike would really suck now, lol
Good link Andy, see even they say late 2008/09…
