Joe,

What if they hadn't respected your wishes? How would that have played 
out? Since WB owns the show, couldn't they continue to make it without 
your input?

"Our sense is that most of the viewers with money or an education have 
cable, VCRs, laserdisks, and they watch those instead of the networks.  
Our programming more and more will have to turn to those who don't have 
any real education or money for other programming options." - Unnamed
