The entertainment Internets delivered good news this past weekend for fans of CBS’ dependable midseason comedy Rules of Engagement. It seems the sitcom will almost certainly be back during the 2009–2010 season for what looks like at least 13 episodes.
Tonight (May 18), however, the series is devoted to closing its current third season with not just one, but two episodes. The first, “House Money,” airs at the special time of 8pm ET and the second, “Sexy Toy Story,” follows in Engagement’s regular time slot of 9:30pm ET.
During “House Money,” Audrey persuades Jeff to do something fun together with …read more

Original Air Date: April 28, 2008
Now that JEFF and AUDREY have decided to start a family, it’s important for everything to be in order, like their life insurance. It’s time for Jeff’s annual physical, which he’s not too concerned about because he thinks he still weighs the same amount he did in college. If true, that makes him an optimal male in the insurance’s three way system of overweight male, average male, and optimal male.
Audrey bursts Jeff’s bubble, however, by telling him he’s been using the happy scale that’s set ten pounds lower. According to their bitchy …read more

The title of the April 21 episode of Rules of Engagement, “Jen at Work,” is pretty descriptive since one subplot finds Jennifer working for her significant other Adam’s company, obviously probably not such a great idea. The personal and the professional can be a bad mix for a romantically involved couple.
Audrey and Jeff have got things going on, too, especially in the bedroom after a gift gets Jeff all excited in more ways than one.
Rules of Engagement airs Mondays on CBS at 9:30pm EST.

Good news for Rules of Engagement fans. The sitcom returns at last tonight to take over the time slot recently vacated by The New Adventures of Old Christine.
“Time Share” revolves around a trip that Adam, Jennifer, Jeff, and Audrey plan together. Sounds nice, right? That is, until Adam and Jennifer discover the older couple’s ulterior motive for wanting them to come along.
Rules of Engagement airs Mondays on CBS at 9:30pm EST.

Yesterday brought good news for the many fans of the CBS relationship sitcom Rules of Engagement and devotees of the Julia Louis-Dreyfus sitcom The New Adventures of Old Christine.
Both series were notably absent from the network’s initial announcements pending the end of the writers strike indicating which shows would get the go ahead to resume production. Variety reports, however, that CBS has now asked the relevant production companies to begin shooting additional episodes to air this spring.
It’s not currently known exactly how many more episodes of Rules we will see, but at least two more installments of Christine will …read more

If nothing else, the writers strike is definitely giving comedy fans time to catch up on back episodes of certain series, especially those that air on CBS and The CW each Monday. We may have seen most of the installments before, but at least a lot of them still remain funny on second (or third or fourth) viewing. But, am I the only one who thought everything would be replaced by reality shows at this point? I guess we should consider ourselves lucky, then.
Here’s what’s getting replayed tonight.
