episodes. "Hoping that all six of them will be in the same room at the same time, but I\'m not sure we can logistically pull that off," Greenblatt recently told reporters.

The following day, Greenblatt\'s concerns about the logistics proved true when it was revealed that Perry would be in London rehearsing for his play, The End of Longing, which begins previews on Tuesday, Feb. 2. Perry will still be involved in the tribute to Burrows, but it will instead be way of a taped message.

The James Burrows special is set to air Sunday, Feb. 21 on NBC.
