I heard Fred Thompson has an HBO show that airs May 27 (or thereabouts) and must wait until after that to avoid equal time issues.

It's not clear that the equal time rules apply to cable or pay TV. And Thompson supposedly only has a small role in the movie, anyway.

The last new Law & Order should air on May 18 - in theory - if L&O's Friday schedule is followed.

I also heard and it makes sense to me is that the equal time issue only applies to public airwaves not cable.
