And in other news, can I just say how utterly idiotic this thing is that many of the US tv channels do where they take a show off mid-run for up to a month! It would never happen over here! Stupid tv people... *mutters*

BUT OMGWTF SWEEPS!!!!111!11!!!!1! MUST HAVE NEW EPS DURING SWEEPS!!!!!!11!!!1!!

Sweeps is some TV industry thing related to advertising that I don't really understand and therefore am doing a crappy job explaining, but they try to put all the lure in the viewers shows during sweeps. SG-1 is bringing back a popular guest character for sweeps, for example.

So, the logic is we'll make it so the viewers don't know when the new episodes are on because we're buggering them about but we'll tell the ad folks that it's okay anyway? Idiotic.
