Freddie Episode Changes; Sony TV DVD Note

Friday, October 14, 2005

The new sitcom Freddie, starring Freddie Prinze Jr. debuted this past Wednesday for ABC with good numbers, 9.4 million total viewers and a 4.2 adult 18-49 rating. As we mentioned before, ABC aired the second episode that night and opted to air the pilot episode the week after. Well, that has changed now again! It seems this pilot episode is not scheduled at all anymore! The episode titled "Food Critic" is on next Wednesday instead. The Halloween episode will be on the week after that one and the first Wednesday for November sweeps has another episode scheduled. We reviewed the pilot here at SitcomsOnline.com and it wasn't too good, so maybe ABC also thought that. We also reviewed episode two, which actually aired as the first episode, and that episode was a bit better. I hope you all are not confused!

We forgot to mention something the other day in our Sony TV DVD news feature, so I decided to post it today. Remember DVDEmpire.com put up the Classic TV Christmas DVD up for pre-order this past summer? They originally said Sept. 20, but of course that was wrong. They still have it listed with an unknown date but when I talked to Sony, they know nothing about this set! So, I do not think we will be seeing this set, at least not this Christmas. They have already announced titles through Dec. 20, and there is no sign of it. So fans of Benson, The Facts of Life, Barney Miller, Maude and Bewitched will have to wait or just not expect this set at all. Hopefully shows like Benson, Maude and The Facts of Life are released through season sets instead!
