Ok, well, I can say that it couldn't have been USA.  They are one in the
same.  Hence the Dead Zone and all the crappy USA movies that seem to air
there.

I seem to hear that it was Showtime.  Kinda x-over for the SG-1 thing.  But,
that's neither here nor there.  This could, however, lead way to the same
thing with other series being pulled:  Motion Pictures.  Worked for Star
Trek.  Could work for X-Files.  Might lead to FarScape.

Also, on an aside, did anyone else hear the rumor that Sci Fi may pick up
"Firefly?"  Good possibility of Tremors running the length until "Firefly"
gets picked up. Since no more "Buffy," Joss has gotta be wanting to do more.
