I also wonder if ABC will start airing the new episodes this summer to fill a hole in their schedule. If the show is supposed to end this fall, then those 18 episodes would have to start airing before September, right? Or maybe ABC's decided to run two a week like they did when they ran out the remainder of “The Drew Carey Show” in the summers of 2003 and 2004 AFTER they renewed it for something like three more seasons in 2000 and then watched its ratings immediately plummet. Do any of the networks renew shows for more than one season these days? I seem to remember ABC doing that with “Home Improvement” in the mid-'90s, and CBS did it with “Northern Exposure” too.
