This is the latest from the web-site:
Remember this was last week:
Thursday, May 24 (9:30-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX,these semi-finalists will discover the magic of moviemaking when they are brought to Los Angeles to visit a real-life film set for the first time and must endure a rigorous "Hollywood Boot Camp." A special panel of judges will begin the process by screening the contestants' personal submission films and evaluating their attempts at a Hollywood-style "pitch" meeting. Other projects include a "24-Hour Film Shoot," where the contestants must shoot and edit a short film in a 24-hour period; and a "one-page, one-hour" film shoot, where they will have an hour to film a one-page scene with the help of professional directors of photography, camera and sound operators and actors. After the judges give their ultimate feedback, the Top 18 Finalists will move on to compete in the first "Film Premiere" episode.

Monday, May 28 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
A special two-hour "Film Premiere" episode, featuring the first films produced by the 18 finalists, will air Monday, May 28 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. It will be up to the American public to determine the first finalists to be eliminated from the competition; voting results will be announced the following night on the expanded first "Box Office" results show Tuesday, May 29 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT). ON THE LOT's weekly "Film Premiere" episodes air in their regular time period beginning Monday, June 4 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT), and the weekly "Box Office" results shows will air on Tuesdays (8:00-8:30 PM ET/PT) starting Tuesday, June 5.

Any neilsen viewers out there, my advice would be to watch if you can, not tape, as I hear the ratings are low and they need the viewers!

It would be a shame if they cancel this. It is different than other reality show concepts that they have tried in the past. I think it will be fun to watch.

I'm guessing/hoping that with Speilberg et al, pulling the strings, we needn't fear cancellation.

I don't think they'll cancel. It's a summer series....they'll see it through. There may not be a SEQUEL, but they won't cancel.

So far Zach's is the best one in my opinion.

I really enjoyed several of the shorts, the alien one was the only one that made me laugh out loud though. That one, the dancing one, Zach's and the last one were my favourites. Least favourite, that cab thing and the light bulb one was a close second.

What I didn't like and could be a problem, why did they not show the phone numbers to call when they showed the director and a clip at the end? I don't think they'll get lots of people voting as I assumed like I'm sure most others did they would show numbers again and did not note any numbers down to try and call. And I think they need a better host/hostess.

I went to the on the lot site and Canadians can't even vote on line. They don't have a list up of names or phone numbers either. It may really hurt some of the contestants if people can't remember what number they were.

Really, they never appeared on the station I was watching. For my purposes it doesn't really matter. I'm glad to hear they appeared on the American station. I really want this show to be a success.

Did that seem long? IMO that was way too many people involved to choose to vote for. Wonder how their response will be. . .

I hope it does well. I loved it tonight. All of the contestants have talent. There were a couple of shorts that had me cracking up! The alien one, the lucky penny one, the too soft one were funny. I also enjoyed the one with all the special effects. I didn't like the laughing cab one or the lightbulb one. I didn't like the one about the bus either. All in all, though, I'm enjoying the show. Can't wait to see how it progresses, if the tasks get that much more difficult and/or complicated and how the contestants adapt.

so far I am liking the prior 2 episodes better. I enjoyed watching them create their films. I wonder if every episode from now on will just be an interview clip and then their film. I want to see footage of them working.

How's that different from Seacrest with his schpiel every week? With the text message or the 1-866 (NOT 800 numbers), etc.? Or Rock Star, with Brooke, she lists off a million different ways to cast their vote. (Geez, Pamy, seems I'm always picking on you, LOL!)

Have we decided yet if Canucks can vote?? The 'voting window' is not yet open in my region. Zach is by far the best.

Is Carrie Fisher really Paula Abdul in really bad drag?

We liked some of the little films, the aliens, the special effects, the airline and the dancing guy. Some seemed to really miss the mark. I think having 18 people might be too many. Hated the host.

That host is dreadful. She seems more like an MTV veejay, simply not classy or nearly professional enough for this venue.

My fave was the fantasy one at the airport directed by a woman.

I also got the same response when I went online - The window in my area was not open yet. Whatever. Shrug. I am not in love with this show. They've got to step it up to keep my interest.

And Gary Marshall... seems kind or bored AND frail. I keep worrying he won't last through each episode.

OK, looks like we Canadians CAN NOT vote, and that has me seriously upset. The 1-888 number is not available in my area, and the website voting "window is not open". They open up the competition to 33 countries, then allow only ONE country to vote??? I thoroughly enjoy this show, but I don't know if I like that aspect of it. If you're gonna let us partake, and you're gonna make us watch the ads that paid for your show to be on the air, then for the love of God, let us VOTE.

<again, end rant. I've done that a few times today.>

Maybe because people from other countries aren't subject to game show voting rules? If an Italian hacker skewed the results, how liable would the hacker be?

It's an American show, filmed in the States, and I guess the only people who can be held to American laws are Americans, so that's why only Americans can vote? Who knows though.

Technically, can't you use an IP blocker, to block your real IP, and then cast a vote as if you're in another country?
