It seems that tomorrow night’s episode of favorite guilty-pleasure The O.C. is the last airing of the series for a little while so Fox can capitilize more on the astounding success of American Idol by making the crappy results show an even crappier 60 minutes (at least on 3/10), as they also launch the new Jason Schwartzman/Molly Shannon comedy from the Weitz Brothers and Mike White: Cracking Up (which actually premieres the night before on 3/9). WHEW!
However, the good news is that one of (if not the) funniest shows on TV will hopefully benefit from an American Idol boost by airing after it on Wednesday March 17 since apparently it’s still on the bubble to return next year. This according to the wonderful Cynopsis who sits through boring, smoke-blowing network scheduling conference calls (in this case, Fox’s) so that the rest of us don’t have to.
Out of Focus 
Oh no- Arrested Development is in jeopardy of getting pulled?!? That’s one of the only shows I watch on network TV! I guess that without a laugh track, people just don’t realize how scathingly funny ths show actually is. Why do all the good, smart shows get axed (ie Sports Night)? Damn…
