They'll produce 18 epsisodes for the coming season, but the network doesn't care since they lose money on every epsisode. The cost of production exceeds the ad revenue. It's just a flagship for the network. In most cases, the number of episodes is calculated to yield a profit given the projected ad revenue. Hey, it's a business. If people can't make money doing it, there won't be any television. (Of course that might be a good thing:-) Paul
