I hardly wonder that there's no money in Overnight... Where would it come from?
I watched last night (as I will watch (more faithfully than usual) for the next
twelve nights) and notced that the commercials were >unanimously< PSA's
(public service announcements). There was not a SINGLE product-commercial
on WTHR (Indianapolis) from 1:30 to 2:30 AM.  Is this because the show was
cancelled? I distinctly remember seeing commercials before (notably, Don
of Don's Guns saying, "I don't want to make any money, folks... I just love
to sell guns.") and can't quite understand this: a show with no visible
means of support?
