06-19-2006, 11:24 AM

oh ok then thanx

06-19-2006, 11:28 AM

oh yes it was an unaired pilot

Shame they didn't put it on the dvd, and have commentary on it explaining why they changed it.

They changed the pilot because they took out one of the actors. tru was supposed to have two best friends, AJ Cook's character and a male character, but apparently he didn't go down well with test audiences, so they took him out of the show entirely. So all they really had to do was reshoot the scenes with that actor. I've seen both pilots and they were virtually the same. I think they also recast the role of the professor Tru was seeing if my memory is correct.

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 06-19-2006, 04:18 PM

yeah, there's not much differance between the pilots, only a few changes like aphrodite said,

It was great series. It was getting good until they took it off the air.

**andrew r** · 09-14-2006, 01:44 PM

Yeah you're right there. Dam F*x for taking it off.

Aww, not really news per se, but I was just reading some stuff on the Digital Spy website (one of the most popular entertainment news sites in the UK) and look at the banner on the page I was on!

Bless... *sniff*

Wow, Sky One are going to be screening season 2 at prime time, that's very, very weird scheduling. Guess we should look out for an advert for it.

Just checked my DigiGuide, it's premiere is Thursday 12th October, 9pm on Sky One with the first two episodes of the season. Then on the following Tuesday, the episodes are repeated at 8pm on Sky Two.

Keri · 09-29-2006, 07:49 AM

Now they decide to prime time it???

Edit: Oh it would help to say when lol.

9pm Thursdays from October 12.

Re-edit: You beat me to it Matt, heh

**eliza'snumber1fan** · 09-29-2006, 08:07 AM

mmm i find it strange that they decide to show it now, they should have shown it at least 12 months ago, *shakes head*

thanks for the info matt/keri

This button has been added to the Digital Spy front page now - it's great to see it being backed like this

**andrew r** · 10-01-2006, 02:23 PM

Strange how Sky would show the six episodes now. Thanks for the info, at least they're getting an airing over here now
