Notice the NEXT promos are back - but what's the deal with 8 Simple Rules.

They screened three new episodes (the last with John Ritter) as Christmas (out of order - so the cliffhanger is resolved in episode 3) and repeated one of them last week, then cut back to mid-series 1.

Also, the announcements have been changed with references to the nephew introduced after John Ritters death - but we're still with series 1.

P.S. Any more news on when the ads arrive?

I haven't ever seen this programme but have seen the trailer & the only bloke I remember seeing in it is the father. Is this the actor you are talking about?

ABC1 started screening General Hospital from the US showing on 05/03/04. It took a long time to work it out from the recaps section on the official ABC website. Today's episode would of been originally shown on 27/05/04.

Well, the 12.15 edition was from series 1.

They do have the rights to season 2 and have screened the first three episodes (up until when John Ritter dies). However, for some reason both Disney and ABC1 insist on showing them out of order, meaning in the third episode we find out the result of the pregnancy cliffhanger, get a reasoning for the furniture moving around and are introduced to characters discussed in earlier episodes!

No ABC1 does not have a website yet! I wish they would though.
