Rumors are flying that Fox will air a half-hour version of the dramady on Tuesday nights

You love me, you love me not

As the reports go, David E. Kelley, the show's creator, introduced the idea to the network in an attempt to amass a larger fortune which he will no doubt spend on pony kegs, random items on ebay, and fish tranquilizers.

No one knows if the Ally over-dose will fly but Kelley hopes to put a half-hour version comprised of unused, rearranged footage, on Tuesday nights. An Ally McBeal Lite of sorts.

If this were the case, the show's production would have to work a tad harder but would end up making more money in the long run. Fox could also profit from the down-sized version of the show since it was one of its top grossers this season.

Fox will announce its Fall 1999-2000 line-up on Thursday and if Ally Lite doesn't fly, it could still show up mid-season somewhere in the Fox line-up.

David E. Kelley has almost reached his goal of having a show on every network and in some cases two on the same network.
