JUNE! I've heard 6 weeks, but JUNE?
What a long time to wait! Oh well, thank God and USA for reruns. Whenever Goren/Eames are back, I'll be there!
I agree susan1212, June, but I guess it's hard to imagine all the pre-production work that needs to be done and at least USA didn't decide to wait and not resume until September-

It was good to see that they think USA will want to make 'the full set' but C.I. wasn't 'shown on USA last spring', the first episode aired on 4th October!
The USA execs said 6 weeks to get back into production. We've waited this long, I guess we'll just have to be patient a little longer.
Good to see them all back working,and to know its the full quota of episodes.
