Season Finale then new ep next Weds? WTF?

How can they have a season finale tonight and then have a new ep next Weds?

My brain hurts.

Wednesday's episode is not of this season nor of next season's. It just is.

Whoa.

Technically, Wednesday's episode is the season finale, but in the TV industry, tonight (5/19) was the final night of the TV season. Fox had one more episode to go for the season after tonight, but due to the industry calendar, decided that "Frying Game" would be a season finale, with "Brand New Badge" a special "bonus episode" on Wednesday. They could've shown both new episodes tonight, but they elected to start off the hour with a repeat of "Brawl In The Family" at 7PM.

Sounds confusing, but that's how the industry works.

A repeat of Brawl in the Family again... for the fourth freaking time since it originally aired at the beginning of this season. I'm hoping that they show it EVERY Sunday this summer...

So does that mean they could, like, have a 'series finale' and then have a whole 'nother season next fall? (Not that OFF has been cancelled or anything, just saying.)
