Joe, a question or two comes to mind in light of Showtime's decision
to not renew Stargate SG-1 for a sixth season, causing SciFi to
continue the series.

Is there any connection between Showtime's confidence in Jeremiah and
their decision to drop Stargate SG-1?  Has Showtime indicated which
time slot Jeremiah is likely to air in?  Does Showtime consider
Jeremiah a SciFi show or more of an edgy drama with young actors?

And, for my own curiosity, did you have any involvement with the
Jeremiah poster turning up at the MGM booth at ComicCon?  And if so,
did it get the results you were hoping for?

The two decisions were unrelated, though we will not be occupying Stargate's
slot now that it's available.

Saw it at MGM, that's about all...don't know what impact one could have
expected.
