So if Red Band Society is certain to be cancelled, am I supposed to, like, stop watching it? Seriously, I haven't actively watched current Network TV - Qale Oct 29, 17:33 11

hyde, I will say it does speak well of Favreau's character that he can do a little movie and get all these big stars who've worked w/ him in the past -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 17:28 6

      - There are more weekends I am available, i just didn't want to list every summer weekend. - ty97 Oct 29, 17:05 2
