Moving it to cable would generate a class action lawsuit regarding the prize money. Not everyone has access to cable (i.e. ABC Family) compared to who has access to standard TV channels (i.e. ABC).

I'm trying to figure this out and want a fair chance at the prize - which also makes me wonder - how can they make this fair to West Coast viewers when the last episode (and 2 final clues) are shown to the East Coast a full 2 hours before the West Coast gets a chance (or those in Hawaii).

Ummm, how about this solution -- MOVE IT TO A DIFFERENT TIME SLOT!

Seems obvious to me, anyway. Geesh :)

Agree Yankee.

Kon, we had a discussion in chat one night about the disadvantages of us west coast folks, and I think what we figured out was that in the rules it states something about having a set time for the contest to open up, so that everyone has the same chance to get their answers in. I could be wrong about this...suffering from a cold so not completely here, lol.

well of course the best thing to do would be to move it to a different time slot. But they are too smart to figure that one out.

I emailed ABC last night. I'm sure hearing from me will save the show because I am just SO important. (That is a joke).

I wondered about this too:

"I'm trying to figure this out and want a fair chance at the prize - which also makes me wonder - how can they make this fair to West Coast viewers when the last episode (and 2 final clues) are shown to the East Coast a full 2 hours before the West Coast gets a chance (or those in Hawaii)."

I'm East Coast and recognize my advantage. Even if there is a set time to call in the answer, we East Coasters will still have more time to puzzle the clues. Maybe they will show the finale at 10 p.m. EST and we all watch it at the same time... 10 p.m. for East coast and 7 p.m. for West coast and 8 for Central and 9 for Mountain. Then it is a free-for-all.

Hope you feel better, Wargod!

For those of you who may have found out about a book to be released in Nov 2002 (and you can pre-order at Amazon.com), here is some more information that I found on the web:

The Push, Nevada Experiment
Unlocking the Mysteries

by T. S. Griffin, Ph. D.

November 2002
160 pages
b/w illustrations and photos throughout
$12.95US/$19.95CAN
ISBN: 0-7868-8864-4


A Paperback Original.

Like The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer and The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer, The Push, Nevada Experiment offers insider knowledge to the mysterious events of the television series -- and is written by a pivotal character on the show.

With Push, Nevada, the ground-breaking ABC television series, Ben Affleck, Oscar-winning co-writer of Good Will Hunting, and Sean Bailey, his executive-producing partner on breakout hit Project Greenlight, take another bold step in the reinvention of modern entertainment.

A mild-mannered IRS agent named Jim Prufrock travels to a remote desert region in search of missing money and stumbles into a strange small town where mystery, danger, and peculiar characters lurk around every corner. Everyone in Push has a secret, but no one is talking . . . unless they're telling Jim Prufrock to get out of town, fast. Every word, every sign, every gesture holds a clue toward solving the riddle of Push, Nevada.

Uniquely involving, provocative and offbeat, Affleck's and Bailey's ground-breaking concept and sharp writing are destined to turn Push, Nevada into television's latest hot spot. The television series intrigues viewers with its mystery plotline, and a game embedded into the fabric of each episode. Each episode has new puzzles to follow and solve, along with a dazzling array of guest stars. In a next-generation twist that blurs the line between reality and fiction on television, if one viewer can put the evidence together at the end of a 13- episode arc, they will have a chance to win the missing money that everyone is after -- a prize of over one million dollars.

The Push, Nevada Experiment comprises closely held files and papers belonging to T. S. Griffin, Ph.D. -- one of the only men alive who knows what's happening in Push, Nevada, who's behind the mysteries in the town, and how Push is linked to a much bigger conspiracy. Those files and papers will comprise detailed internal documents on the history of Push and what's behind the odd doings in town, extensive personnel files on a range of key characters, maps, local newspaper clippings, Griffin's personal correspondence, and more.

I found an online petition to ABC to not cancel Push, NV. I think it may have been started by some of the people involved with the show, so I am sure ABC will see it. Click on the link below to see the petition and sign it if you want to. I signed it tonite and was #634.

One thing I saw that may be a hint to something was the name plate of Phineas Cobb, the way Grace was saying 'ya see' and the way it kept showing the sign seemed suspicious.

I heard that the DMVF site uses code and letter shifting to give messages. If you caught at the beginning, a phrase showed up that said "tixiv ter." That is code for Peter Pan. Shift all the letters in Peter Pan over by 4 and you have tixiv ter. Storybook Hero? Peter Pan.... When Prufrock, Stennis and the lawyer go to a more private area, they chase off a heavyset lady and a puppet talking about Captian Hook.

Pamy, Whoami, everyone? Thoughts???

I sure don't get how this person got the shifting letters from the dmvf site. Do you think dmvf is code for something??

I'll have to puzzle that out tomorrow but for now it is past my bedtime.

Do you think maybe the residents of Push never get any older, like Peter Pan not wanting to grow up? But if that is the case, how do you explain their identical, routinized schedules?

Man, I really need to get to bed now.

Herm..it is Peter Pan, there were so many references to it, even the car commercial, the guy's name was Peter! The lady with the dummy talks about pixie dust, the sherrif said he didn't want Jim to fly away like tinkerbell, there was a crocodile in a couple scenes, etc..
Also ABC is owned by Disney..hmmmmm
MY big question in what does the name Phineas Cobb have to do with the clue or possible another hint to something else. I tried to scramble the letters and get nothing. The scene where Grace is talking to him it shows the name sign, she covers the Cobb part with her purse, then the camera zoom in and out of Phineas as Grace says 'ya see, ya see??'..so it means something just not sure what. Also I called the IRS # Jim calls,but you need an extention to get more info, any ideas for an extention#?????
I wish more people would throw around ideas here

Pamy, I'm going over to my brother's tonight and we are going to watch both 3 and 4. When we put our heads together we can usually get some ideas. Phineas is not a biblical name. He is not a character in Peter Pan. There are some literary characters named Phineas, most notably Phineas Finn by Anthony Trollope, but I do not see a correlation. Maybe it will not become evident until later episodes.

Sorry!!

Don't be Yankee, it is nice to have a heads up on the situation, especially if this Thurs will be the last one. It just seems like a waste to cancel something they have all ready filmed, why can't they just move it to Fri or Sat. or sell the rest of the episodes to WB or FOX.
What about the book they made? it's not even due out til 10-30!

That Push book is really interesting. I wonder what's up with that? Do you think it will have some hints or is it just a blatant way to make money?

More on Phineas-- there are a lot of names in the show that make you think. I mean Prufrock = Eliot's poem; Silas = possibly Silas Marner (a man who loved money); Martha, Mary, Caleb, Job, Shadrach, Delilah, etc. = biblical names. Two other famous Phineas's that I found were P.T. Barnum of circus fame and Phineas Horton who created a comic book character called the Human Torch. I found the latter quite interesting when you think of how prominently fire is depicted in the show.
