That's because network execs know Kelley's probably going to wind up doing a lot more than he promised. In 1993, when he was only writing all 23 episodes of his one show, Picket Fences, he told TIME, "I don't plan to continue at this pace. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who factors longevity into his lifetime plan." He probably thought he meant that. But even earlier, as a busy lawyer who had never written before, he used the time while waiting for his court cases to be called to write the 1987 Judd Nelson movie...
...even though he'll have five shows on television, the new Ally won't have any new material. In a move never attempted by network television, Fox is going to "repurpose" previously aired episodes of Ally McBeal.

On a website sponsored by Channel One, a television network for school-age youth, a recent posting written with the help of the National Association for Mental Illness classified the following behaviors as possible symptoms of manic depression in teens: "increased talking--the adolescent talks too much," "distractibility," "unrealistic highs in self-esteem--for example, a teenager who feels specially...
...every child's hand or mind, and the lines between news and life and art and entertainment wind up in knots. Last week CBS dropped an especially violent show about the Mafia. "This is not the time to have people being whacked on the streets of New York," said network chief Leslie Moonves. Besides, the fall lineup was already crowded...
