How come every time an elevator gets stuck, there's a pregnant woman about to go into labor?

Oh, never mind.. wrong show.
But yes, it is contrived

Talk about dredging up an older show thread. I was a pretty big fan of the series and watched it (ahem) religiously. As much as I later enjoyed Wentworth Miller in Prison Break, it is kind of a shame that we didn't get a third season of JoA to see how his character would have interacted with Joan.
In addition to its unconventional approach to its subject matter, I always thought the casting of the show was strong with a group of actors that included (in addition to Amber Tamblyn) Joe Mantegna, Mary Steenburgen, Jason Ritter, Annie Potts, Sprague Grayden, and the always excellent Constance Zimmer.

Alas, no. The sad thing is that the show was originally broadcast in HD, so the masters already exist somewhere. But like so many shows that predated the popularity of TV on DVD and streaming, it's caught in music rights hell. The DVDs that did come out had to do a lot of music replacement. Even the credits sequence had to be dropped from most of the episodes, since Universal Music Group would only license the use of "One of Us" on an episode by episode basis.I see a thread this old get brought back to life and I think: wait, was there an HD distribution announced I don't know of??
