| It’s all about budget ”amortization.” The studio and network have to figure out a way to make our show profitable. You don’t do that by producing fewer episodes. A lot of the costs of making a show have to do with starting up production: hiring crews, leasing sound-stages, re-building permanent sets, etc. Once all of the infrastructure and people are in place, the relative costs of continuing production go down the more episodes you make. Given the calendar, we only had time to produce eight episodes in order to air in our usual July time slot. Thus, the decision to make 21 instead of 13, and break them into two blocks of eight and thirteen. We don’t yet know our airdate for the second half, but look for it sometime in early to mid ‘09. Sorry we can’t be more specific. But the good news is we finished Season Three with our highest average ratings since the series premiere two years ago. So, hopefully, thanks to you, we’ll be around a little while longer. Thanks for keeping us on the air. |
