- Has anyone considered the possibility that ABC or CBS might
- pick up QL if NBC cancels it? "In the Heat of the Night" and
- "Matlock" were picked up for this season by another network.
- Granted, their ratings were higher than QL's, but maybe ABC
- or CBS would see QL's earlier ratings as reason enough to
- give it a chance...?
-
- On the other hand, maybe NBC programming dept will try to
- cancel QL only to have execs say "we cancelled HEAT and
- MATLOCK last year and got burnt... lets hold onto Leap."
-
- By the way, where is this 'past its prime' stuff about QL
- coming from. I think QL is holding its own so far this
- year as compared to last year. 'Nowhere to Run', the Trilogy
- episodes and 'Promised Land' come to mind. I did not like
- 'LHO' though. People keep writing about QL's decline. The
- funny thing is that few agree on which episodes represent
- this decline!
