   Really??? I have not noticed that...hmm... Examples???

   BBCA is a US channel, and right now the only, and the ONLY thing I will give   
   them a shout out for is:   
      
   1) Star Trek on FRI's   
   2) Star Trek Marathon on its 50th   
      
   Other than that.. they can drop dead!   
      
    DW> Some are dropped by BBC proper   
      
   Examples?   
      
    DW> while others are just   
    DW> dropped in the US.   
      
   That is why I don't rely or use PBS or BBCA for this any more.   
      
   I get it direct from the source now, and thanks to the time difference it   
   shows up perfectly! :)

   I have not seen this... my biggest gripe with the UK and alot of Empire aka   
   "Commonwealth" countries is TOO SHORT SEASONS!!! 6 episodes is not a season,   
   that is just a WARM UP!   
      
   My next biggest gripe is that they kill them off too soon! Show that is...I   
   just want them to go and go and go and go like the Energizer bunny! :) ;)   
      
    DW> I also hate it when they kill my favorite characters off. SciFi is bad   
    DW> about   
      
   Yeah.. Since the #1 criteria for a show is cast, specifically FEMALE CAST,   
   killing them off is a big problem!   
      
   You can woefully sink the show to crap levels as long as my girl(s) is in it!   
      
   Or even be mediocre to worse, but my girl(s) are in it... Were good to go!   
      
    DW> that and, from what you said about DCI Banks, I am afraid I may be unhappy   
    DW> with the coming season when it reaches PBS. :(   
      
      
   Depends on who you are in "love" with versus me! :) ;)
