What I can tell you is that we are currently shooting 18 episodes for the 8th season. I am not allowed to discuss where one might watch them. (More news to come.)"<BR/><BR/>Personally, this show has run its course. I will stop watching the show after the finale next week because I can't bear the thought of 18 more episodes of this played-out formula.- judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695694789050459111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-39615480006252831092008-05-01T21:36:00.000-04:002008-05-01T21:36:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.- judehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02695694789050459111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-60783241023427762812008-04-29T09:21:00.000-04:002008-04-29T09:21:00.000-04:00Was there any significance to the plaques behind K...Was there any significance to the plaques behind Kelso when he was sitting on the bench?
