I saw this in the tv guide. Tonight, the WB is showing the Fellowship of the Ring on tv from 8:00 - 10:30. That's 2.5 hours with commercial. And the regular movie is 3 hours and the EE version is closer to 3.5 hours.

So basically they are taking the 3 hour movie ( hoping it isn't the EE version) and probably showing 1.75 to 2.00 hours of it on tv.

Sorry, I just had to rant about this.

Of course, you failed to notice that they have it on in two parts. One sunday and one on monday.

I hope you are correct as that is alot better. I also noticed below that they are showing the EE version.

But FYI, I looked for a 2 part split but it wasn't there.

- I just saw the tv commercial for the Sunday night showing and it didn't say anything about this being Part 1 or the conclusion on part 2.

- Also on the internet tv guide, again it didn't say anything about this being 2 parts. See below.

Yes, but after my weekly ritual of watching Everwood last week, at the end it said that everwood would not be on the following week because of the airing of the conclusion of the Lord of the Rings. Also, there is a 2 hour timeslot dedicated to "lord of the rings" tomorrow from 7-9 (central time) according to my cable box.

No, that's fine and I believe you and it makes sense.

I was just saying the tv commercial didn't say anything nor did the tv guide. I guess they want you to watch it before they tell you at the end that Part 2 is tommorrow night. I just don't think that is right.

Oh yeah, Ill definately give you that. I thought they were going to show it for 4 or 5 hours straight until the end of everwood last week. Had no idea it was going to be a 2 night event. Commercials definately didnt say so.
