51.   The cruelties of February are not limited to sweeps scheduling, when the networks throw hype, specials and new episodes against one another.

52.   The final new episode aired Friday.

53.   The first new episode is dangerously lame, though.

54.   The Health Department has developed three new episodes for Julio and Marisol.

55.   The new episodes highlight celebrity-worship by including cameos of British celebrities, including the former model Twiggy and the singer Marianne Faithfull.

56.   The next new episode will be rehearsed for the rest of this week and will be taped on Friday, this time with an audience.

57.   The practice of clustering new episodes in sweeps months tends to exaggerate their seeming dearth, further frustrating viewers.

58.   The pilot was shot by a single camera, but new episodes will be filmed with four cameras on a traditional sitcom set and before a studio audience.

59.   The new episodes will be the product of that vanished time, and as such they may evoke nostalgia or discomfort in ways the writers could never have anticipated.

60.   The new episodes will begin in the fall.
