Hey all, don't forget that "Stacked" premieres its second season on
November 9th at 8:30, after "That 70s Show".

Because November is a sweeps month (netowkrs compete extra vigorously
to attract youg viewers and get high ratings for advertisers, the show
won't be airing episodes in the natural order they were filmed,
apparently. Rather, they will air episodes with big guest
appearances, etc., which is typical for most sitcoms and dramas in
November (and February, the other sweeps month). Thus, "Heavy
Meddle", the 6th episode filmed last season, which never aired due to
the "American Idol" finale 2-hour special, isn't on the November
schedule. Here's what will be airing on "Stacked", courtesy of a Fox
press release:

MONDAY

Mondays this November, excitement is brewing as FOX serves up all-new
episodes of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL and PRISON
BREAK; and guest stars like Charlize Theron, Scott Baio, Dave Thomas,
Jamie Kennedy, Michael Vartan and James Lipton.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT returns with a full hour and guest stars Charlize
Theron, Scott Baio, Dave Thomas, Frankie Muniz, Super Dave Osbourne
(Bob Einstein) and Jamie Kennedy Monday, Nov. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).
In an effort to prove to Rita (guest star Theron) he's not a wimp,
Michael tries to convince George Michael to join him in some manly
activities, but George Michael is too busy prepping girlfriend Ann for
an "Inner-beauty Pageant." So Michael and his recently discovered
nephew Steve Holt enter a triathlon, only to discover Gob is the one
who stumbles at the finish line. Back at work, Michael must deal with
a huge mole problem in order to salvage a major real estate deal. But
when Gob and Buster team up with George Sr.'s surrogate, Larry (guest
star Einstein), to help Michael save the deal, their plan falls apart
in a big way. Meanwhile, Tobias mistakes a CIA agent for a CAA agent
and inadvertently betrays the family, and Michael makes Rita a
proposal she can't refuse.

The entire family is abuzz with Michael's impending marriage in "The
Ocean Walker" episode of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Monday, Nov. 14
(8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). George Sr., worried that Rita (guest star
Theron) is after Michael's money, forces Michael to admit that he
doesn't really know Rita all that well. Meanwhile, Rita's Uncle Trevor
(guest star Thomas) tries to stop the wedding by revealing some
surprising information about Rita to the Bluths, actually making the
family more supportive of the union. But if Michael learns the truth,
will he be able to walk down the aisle?

After Gob's constant interference drives Michael insane at work,
Michael gives Gob his own banana stand in the "Making a Stand" episode
Monday, Nov. 21 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT). But when Michael and Gob learn
that George Sr. has been pitting his sons against each other, Michael
and Gob team up to teach George Sr. a lesson. Meanwhile, Lucille goes
to stay at the model home after her biannual facelift, which
inadvertently inspires a new idea for Maeby's horror movie, and Tobias
and Lindsay compete for Bob Loblaw's (guest star Baio) attention.

In the last November Sweeps episode of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT Monday,
Nov. 28 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Michael is concerned when he finds out
that Lucille is dating the warden (guest star James Lipton) behind his
father's back. But when George Sr. finds out and doesn't care, Michael
tries to figure out what his father has up his sleeve.

It's an "Alias" reunion on KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL when television and
film actor Michael Vartan guest-stars with former "Alias" costar
Bradley Cooper. Vartan plays Michel, an arrogant, womanizing French
chef who steals from Jack's menu and seduces head waitress Mimi,
sparking a brutal feud between Nolita and a rival French bistro in the
"French Fight" episode Monday, Nov. 14 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT).

After an article on Page Six claims that Jack snubbed a famous actress
at Nolita, Jack realizes that part of the success of the restaurant
includes his spending more time with the patrons in the "You Lose, I
Win" episode of KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL Monday, Nov. 21 (8:30-9:00 PM
ET/PT). Not wanting to leave a hole in his very busy kitchen, Jack
hires a female chef he knows and trusts. At first, the boys resent a
woman in their midst, but Becky (Erinn Hayes) quickly wins the crew
over – and the more Becky fits in, the less space there is for Jack.
Meanwhile, Seth and Teddy dispute the hierarchy of the kitchen and set
out to prove once and for all which is more integral to the restaurant
– fish or pastries.

In the last KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL offering during Sweeps, "Rabbit Test"
airing Monday, Nov. 28 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT), Jim accidentally accepts
a delivery of rabbits for the special that night, but when they arrive
alive, no one has the guts to kill them. Meanwhile, Jack dates a vegan
and is impressed by the strength of her convictions, until he
sweet-talks her into trying meat and she becomes obsessed.

The clock is truly ticking on this season's most gripping new drama,
PRISON BREAK, as Lincoln's execution nears. During four all-new
episodes, lives are threatened, murders are committed and deals are
made with the devil – who apparently comes in many shapes and sizes.

Veronica and Nick inch closer and closer to the truth – and the people
– behind Lincoln's frame-up, while C-Note leverages his way onto the
escape team Monday, Nov. 7 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). All – especially
Sara – are shocked by Michael's conjugal visitor Monday, Nov. 14
(9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). One of the group's relentless pursuers becomes
the pursued Monday, Nov. 21 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). And in an explosive
Fall Finale Monday, Nov. 28 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), the day and hour of
reckoning finally arrive as Lincoln's execution is just minutes away,
and the team finally makes a break for it.

TUESDAY

It's time to celebrate FOX November Tuesday and all-new episodes of
BONES, with guest star Morris Chestnut on Nov. 15; and all-new
episodes of HOUSE, with guest star Sela Ward on Nov. 15, 22 and 29.

In the first of four all-new episodes of BONES, Brennan, working hard
on her latest novel, helps Booth locate and identify the remains of
Charlie, a 6-year-old who went missing from a local park. Brennan
determines that Charlie was sexually assaulted before he was murdered,
which leads Booth to conclude they're on the hunt for a serial
pedophile. Suspicion creates uncertainty – among even the people
closest to Charlie – and Brennan and Booth must investigate all leads,
no matter where the information points, in the episode "A Boy in a
Bush" Tuesday, Nov. 8 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT).

Morris Chestnut guest-stars in the following week's episode (Tuesday,
Nov. 15, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), "The Man in the Wall." Angela and
Brennan get caught in a melee in a hip-hop club, where Brennan kicks
someone into a wall that breaks open and reveals a mummified corpse
and a stash of methamphetamine.

Brennan and Booth fight the clock to definitively prove if a man about
to be executed is guilty in the episode "A Man on Death Row" Tuesday,
Nov. 22 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). Seven years earlier, the case was
Booth's first as a primary FBI agent, and an important loose end
remains after all this time.

In the final all-new November Sweeps episode of BONES, "The Girl in
the Fridge" (Tuesday, Nov. 29, 8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), Brennan faces off
with her former mentor – and lover – after a girl's decomposed remains
are found in a refrigerator.

The first November Sweeps outing of HOUSE, "Daddy's Boy" airing
Tuesday, Nov. 8 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), offers an unexpected glimpse
into House's past and present when he tries unsuccessfully to get out
of a dinner engagement with his visiting parents. Meanwhile, a recent
college graduate with daddy issues of his own drops at a graduation
party from internal shocks. With his father at his bedside, it becomes
apparent that the two have not been truthful with each other, and
their trust issues affect how the medical team gets the information it
needs to help solve the case.

A famous pro bicyclist is brought in after collapsing during a race,
but House, convinced that the athlete is taking performance enhancers
and doping his blood, doesn't want to treat him. When the patient
admits to doing drugs, House is intrigued. Meanwhile, House tries to
jeopardize Stacy (guest star Sela Ward) and Mark's relationship by
attending group therapy with the couple in the "Spin" episode of HOUSE
Tuesday, Nov. 15 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).

Ward guest-stars in another all-new episode of HOUSE on Tuesday, Nov.
22 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). Kalvin, a gay man with full-blown AIDS,
confronts House in front of his home and collapses into anaphylactic
shock. When House discovers that Kalvin's father is suffering from
unique symptoms of his own, he must figure out if they might be
connected and solve the puzzle to save both their lives. Meanwhile,
Cameron faces a potentially life-threatening disease of her own.

House and Chase are in the extremely hot seat in the final all-new
November Sweeps episode of HOUSE, "The Mistake" airing Tuesday, Nov.
29 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT), after a young mother with stomach pain dies.
Months later, Stacy (guest star Ward) counsels Chase prior to his
disciplinary hearing. She must determine if Chase made a mistake that
ultimately led to the patient's death, and soon realizes that he is
holding something back.

WEDNESDAY

The stars sparkle Wednesday nights on FOX during November Sweeps, when
Ashton Kutcher, Bruce Willis, Kid Rock and Jenny McCarthy grace
all-new episodes of THAT '70s SHOW and STACKED; and Adam Sandler and
Jack Nicholson star in the World Broadcast Premiere of ANGER
MANAGEMENT. And in all-new installments of TRADING SPOUSES: MEET YOUR
NEW MOMMY, the families will also be seeing stars – albeit a different
kind – when one mother has a meltdown of intergalactic proportions.

On Wednesday, Nov. 9 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) on THAT '70s SHOW, in honor
of Hyde's new married status, the guys decide to throw him a belated
surprise bachelor party. But when Kelso (Kutcher) gets distracted by a
new ice cream girl, the guys are the ones left out in the cold.
Meanwhile, Jackie questions Donna's loyalty after Donna befriends
Hyde's new stripper wife in the "You're My Best Friend" episode.

The following week, Wednesday, Nov. 16 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Bruce
Willis moonlights in an all-new November Sweeps installment of THAT
'70s SHOW. As Red and Kitty celebrate their 25th anniversary, Kelso
gets bitten by the marriage bug and decides to propose. But Vic (guest
star Willis), a sketchy fast-talker with a bad toupee – who just
happens to be the head of security at a gentlemen's club in Chicago –
makes Kelso a job offer he cannot refuse. Meanwhile, Donna gets a
little disappointed that Eric isn't calling her from Africa.

In the final all-new November Sweeps episode of THAT '70s SHOW
Wednesday, Nov. 30 (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT), Jackie moves into Fez's
apartment after Kelso moves to Chicago. Meanwhile, Sam helps Donna
take sexy pictures of herself to send to Eric in Africa, but they
inevitably land in the wrong hands.

Kid Rock guest-stars in the season premiere of STACKED Wednesday, Nov.
9 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) as a delivery man. The episode revolves around
Skyler, who has been wreaking havoc in the bookstore by telling
everyone she loves them – except for Gavin. All are suspicious of
Skyler's motives – Katrina fears that Skyler wants to borrow money,
Harold deduces that Skyler is dying and Stuart gets an unwanted
admirer (or two).

In the "Two Faces of Eve" episode of STACKED on Wednesday, Nov. 16
(8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT), Jenny McCarthy guest-stars as Eve, Skyler's
former ugly-duckling friend whose swan-like transformation into a hot
blond isn't the only bombshell she brings with her to Stacked Books.

When Gavin's old writer friend Ray shows up at the bookstore asking
for advice on his recently published novel, a threatened Gavin spends
the entire weekend writing a novel of his own. He asks everyone in the
bookstore to read it and give feedback, but only Skyler complies, as
the rest of the crew tries to protect him from the fact that he isn't
a very good writer in the final all-new November Sweeps episode of
STACKED Wednesday, Nov. 30 (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT).
