See, I've never understood that about CBS/Paramount... starting with
Enterprise... They could have repeated it on Sike or MTV or other of
their channels. They should do the same with Jericho... repeat it on
Spike. With all those guns, you'd think the typical Spike viewer would
dig it.
NBC repeats their shows on their various outlets, why doesn't CBS? :-(
I hope CBS reruns the entire season before making a decision.
Tom, who has fingers crossed.
