not for the next 22 episodes, at least. they _have_ renewed, and also
importantly, they went back to 2 showings of the eps, which was something
that Warner Syndication was trying to get out of the renewing stations as
much as they could.

they've moved it a half an hour later on sunday night, but they're still
showing it (once per week, so far as i know.)  the big problem is that
on nights when there are hocky games, the start could be 20 minutes
early or 20 minutes late; i don't depend on my VCR if i'm trying to get it
off of WSBK.

23 has been jerking us around on B5 scheduling all summer.  it's a real
pain in the neck. from what i've gotten from the moderated b5 newsgroup,
markets where the station has given the show a good, stable time slot have
excellent ratings, but in markets (like ours) where the station plays stupid
scheduling games, the ratings are usually lots lower and the station uses
that as an excusse for more stupid scheduling games.
