If Tomlin is credited on the 17th, does he support that hideously fake conversation between EJ and Nicole? Man that shit was painful. :frown:

The show films a month out. Now, episodes which were already written while he was still Exec. Producer but were NOT yet filmed have begun airing. That is why Tomlin's name is as producer but he has had nothing yet to do with the content. So, the episode a few of you are referencing, I say that is Dena Higley's work without any clean up which we were used to by Ed Scott. So now we can see without any rose-colored glasses Dena's vision. Who knows Tomlin's vision. I imagine that is why Whitesell is coming in though is so that Tomlin can get his vision in there without getting the show in trouble in Ed Scott did.

I saw Canadian credits for Tuesday and Scott is still listed too. But Monday�s credits taped from NBC already had Gary Tomlin. So who knows. Judging by the content I definitely think this is Tomlin/Higley stuff.
