The lead time for HSB is not large by standard and the production time
is long. Last season, for example, they just got behind schedule and had
to slip in a couple of repeats.

St. Elsewhere is not affected, except that they will probably roll over
some more characters (like Peter White, Wendy Armstrong, etc.). I have
read that the actress who portrayed Mrs. Hufnagel will be on some other
series next year.

I have also read that the departed Stephen Boccho (formerly producer of 
HSB) has agreed in principle to do a HSB/SE type of production on attorneys.
