I have thought that since about 1969 when I used to watch "Star Trek" on
Wednesdays and "The Virginian" on Fridays on BBC TV. I thought then:

	SAME					DIFFERENT

	Plot					Props
	Fact you can guess plot in <5 mins
	from start
	Time of showing
	Duration
	Good guys win (& survive to next week)
	(Quite often) Actors!
	etc

Nothing new under the Sun (even when it isn't `THE' sun)....
