[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 141049, member: 27"] Well, once you see the episode, you will realize I was not putting[I] that [/I]much thought into my remark. [spoiler] Fallon got hit on the head by a ceramic 'cow creamer' and had a [I]Wizard of Oz[/I] dream/fantasy with her as Dorothy. The nationality of NK and JM never entered my mind. [/spoiler] I just thought it was a wacky means to an end. Though all shows with 22-episode seasons struggle to cover an entire season (which has roughly 35 weeks in it), it is extremely unusual for a show to intentionally "sit out" parts of November Sweeps. It's usually when they want to make their biggest splash (plot-wise) in order to jack up ratings (and thus jack up the rates for the commercials). I can understand sitting out Christmas and New Year's, since fewer people are watching overall. If sitting out Thanksgiving allows them to stretch out the season into May Sweeps, then I guess it would all balance out, though. Perhaps the Netflix $$$ is sufficient that they don't have to twist themselves in knots over every ratings point and uptick/downtick in the ad rates. [/QUOTE]
