Important Message from the Scripts Team

Volume 10 is in pre-production and the plan is for a February release.
When in February you want to know? So do we!

You see, JMS has been given the ultimate time line wrecker -- jury
duty. (JMS on a jury. What we would give to be in that deliberation
room).

We may be lucky and he could be in and out in a couple days...or he
gets stuck in a hot room with 11 angry men.

Either way, how this shakes out will become more apparent in the next
week. As soon as we have a release date we will let you know.

One has to wonder which juror from "12 Angry Men (1957)" (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/ ) that JMS will most be like. My
guess would be Juror #7 as played by Henry Fonda. :-)

Martin Balsam .... Juror #1
John Fiedler .... Juror #2
Lee J. Cobb .... Juror #3
E.G. Marshall .... Juror #4
Jack Klugman .... Juror #5
Edward Binns .... Juror #6
Jack Warden .... Juror #7
Henry Fonda .... Juror #8/Mr. Davis
Joseph Sweeney .... Juror #9/Mr. McCardle
Ed Begley .... Juror #10
George Voskovec .... Juror #11
Robert Webber .... Juror #12

My word - I'm on jury duty in Los Angeles myself.  The criminal 
courthouse downtown, to be precise.  Don't expect to run into Joe (there 
are a LOT of people tapped for jury duty every week), more's the pity.  
Be nice to have someone around who could understand the wisecracks I 
have been so carefully NOT making.  (nor chanting "Yo -e -ho" as per 
Wizard of Oz when being marched into the courtroom in two lines, nor...)

behind on deadlines...?
