Journeyman and Terriers. Also, I was thinking about the Cheers story the other day...

...and lamenting how it would never stay on the air today with that kind of 1st-year (or 1st month, for that matter) performance.

But then it occurred to me that it wouldn't stay on *NBC* without immediate success, but that it probably could on cable.

So, God bless cable.
