News:

You can now pre-order season 1 of Alias on DVD, the set will be released on September 2nd. Order early, order often, order from my link! More TV on the TV on DVD page.

NBC didn’t air the lineup they had originally scheduled for last night after all, instead they aired news and reruns of Law & Order CI and SVU. New episodes of Ed and Law & Order: SVU will air next Friday, as will the series premiere of that Most Talented Kid show.

If you missed all or part of the “Orpheus” episode of Angel that aired on Wednesday night, it will be rebroadcast on the WB on Sunday night at 8pm central time. Thanks to the WB for doing something sensible (given that the episode was interrupted or preempted ‘cuz of war coverage in many markets).

News could still preempt, delay, or change schedules (especially for the major networks).
