As someone with too many years experience in broadcast television, there's a very good possibility Lynch/Frost knew when Steven King's IT would be playing. Those program schedules are decided several months in advance. That's how the net's are able to create all those "spiffy" promo's. Regarding turn around time for a weekly program like TP, it's not unusual for actual production (shooting to final edited version) to take between two and four weeks. And remember, Lynch shoots a lot of stuff off the cuff, with only a bare script to go by. That leaves a lot of room to improv... Lance (The Root Of All Evil) Spangler Damn fine coffee Norma!
