Yeah - I don't even bother with them anymore for more things. The European and Australian partners show things much more regularly: via Usenet we've already seen the series finale of "Stargate" and the season finale of "Atlantis" - they actually show them in order without weird three-month gaps. > erratic .. at least that is the way it seems.

It didn't help that during the breaks they refused to show reruns (which the fans would actually watch) and instead fill in the slot with tripe (which forced the fans to find, and often get hooked on, other shows). > Oh, and McKay makes Atlantis .. one of the best spin-off characters > ever ;) He is great - but the show is pretty good in general. They didn't fall into the "must stand alone" disease that kills a lot of spin-offs (where the spin-off seems unable to even mention the parent show). The story arcs are "realistic" (within the framework of the show). McKay is great - but only because the show is good. There's nothing sadder than a great character on a crappy show. I'm sure there are better examples but Tom Poston played a great character - the clown in the closet - on a dumb-ass NBC show called "Committed". It got to the point that we'd just fast forward the show until we saw him.
