Good to know when not to watch Till Death! Fans of Ghost Whisperer will have a tough decision, which to watch live and which to tape!
Is this a new episode of Til Death or a leftover one from last season?
Sorry for the double post, my initial comment didn’t appear.
Futon Critic had all this (and more) yesterday:

Kevin, I’m sure they are unaired episodes, and I’d guess were originally produced for the 2008-9 season, but can’t be sure.
Fox has a strong schedule – will be interesting to See:
How well Lie To Me does behind house. The repeats have been stronger than House repeats.
How Glee does. It has heavy promotion, and is a critics darling – hoping for the best here.
How SYTYCD does.
How FRINGE does behing BONES.
Very interesting schedule INDEED.
ALso, I wonder if Til Death has any fans that have been anxious for its return…might be interesting if it does OKAY.
Besides how MEDIUM does on FRIDAYS at CBS, FOX has the most exciting schedule I think….
Does anyone know if they are going to re-air the pilot episode of Glee on Sept. 9 that they showed in May? I didn’t catch it then (since I don’t watch Idol) but I do plan to watch SYTYCD so I might as well watch Glee too if its good. I’d rather catch the pilot on TV than have to watch it online.
There are still 6 completed episodes of “King of the Hill” that have not aired…..2 of which were commissioned by FOX and 4 extra that the producers made. I had hoped they would air in the 7 pm to 8 pm Sunday slot this fall whenever FOX did not have a football game, so that all produced episodes would eventually air. None have aired this summer. Does anyone know?
Yes, Rob R, King of the Hill will be back sometime in 2010 to burn up the remaining “Hill” episodes. Coincidentally, Mike Judge’s other project, “The Goode Family” has been axed and will air its series finale on August 7.
The pilot of Glee that is airing on Sept. 2 is the extended director’s cut. It will be interesting to see how much “extended” it is. I watched the Glee preview back in the spring when it was shown and it may have promise, but it also may be a little too hokey for Fox.
I’m amazed that they are airing Dance a mere month after the finale of the previous season. Surely people would be sick of it by then?
