This is probably the main reason why I have not watched all of the 
new episodes of HSB this year.  I have gotten tired of watching 4-5 new
episodes and then in the middle of the prime season (Nov. or Mar.) all
of a sudden HSB pulls off some old dusty reruns off the shelf.  I don't
mind them running reruns, but not in the middle of the season. (And I'm
not talking about the Christmas break reruns).
