According to Drew's twitters (both @DrewFromTV and @TPIRhost) the show they taped today will air tomorrow.

The show is a special "Military Families" show. This is <Barker> an historic moment </Barker> as the fastest ever turn around for Price, barring live episodes from the Cullen era.

Thought it was worth mentioning...

This was obviously set up in advance, so I'm going to guess this was originally intended to be a Fourth of July show. Impressive that they were able to have the show air ready in less than 24 hours.

More likely Memorial Day.

May 20, I believe.

And no, I don't understand that, either.

I wonder if it was a screwup operating under the assumption that Memorial Day was gonna be on the 23rd, since that's about the time of the month it usually is. 'Cuz doing something like that to kick off the long weekend makes perfect sense to me.

I can see the logic behind that, but if they were planning it as something centered around Memorial Day, why wouldn't they just do it on (what they thought was) Memorial Day?

Hotshotting part or all of a show to take advantage of a topical uber-patriotic moment? Clutch the pearls!

I don't think that's what he meant. His question is why the show was initially scheduled for May 20 instead of Memorial Day (which is when it would have made the most sense to air had Sunday's events not happened), not why it was moved to today.

My guess, FWIW, May 20 counts for sweeps. Memorial Day doesn't.

Oh, outstanding point.

Aside: did they do the regular Salute to the Military episode for this season?

I think so. They usually do it on Veteran's Day.

That's the Definition of a Jim Perry pun.

Good night.

Actually, the show that aired yesterday(5/3) that was suppose to air on 5/20 was plammed for Armed Forces Day(5/21), not Memorial Day which happens to be May 30 this year because Memorial Day always falls on the last Monday in May.

They say you learn something new every day.

This is not one of those cases.

Oh? You were aware of when Armed Forces Day fell? You're a better man than I am, then.

Seems for as much (justified) bashing as Karlberg gets, he was actually the one that came forward with the bit of information that explains the logic behind the original air-date pretty definitively. I have to give him props for that.
