I agree on all points. With Kings, I have several unwatched episodes on my DVR, which I may now just keep archived unwatched until the summer. I do wish that with the burnoff move, the networks would start from the beginning of the most recent season. I am going to be slightly irritated if they start Daisies off where they left off, since I delted the last episodes from my TiVo. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
