The following from a JMS post I rec'd:

 [ Summary: What about the rumors that TNT has pulled the plug on
Crusade? ]

 #: 58965 S9/Crusade
    29-Jan-99  22:38:12
Sb: #58948-More Crusade rumors....
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      The plug has not been pulled by TNT, which cannot pull the plug
because 
we don't work for TNT, we work for WB.	TNT is a distributer.

      All I can say for now is that, like Oliver Stone's project for
TNT, 
Witchblade, we have found that TNT (known primarily for westerns,
historical 
dramas and wrestling) is not SF-friendly in terms of really getting what
SF is 
about, and it may not entirely reconcile with what their core audience
expects 
from them...and that a new, more SF friendly venue is being explored.

      So if folks wanted to drop an encouraging note to, let's say, the
Sci-Fi 
Channel, for instance, that would certainly be okay by me.

      But in the interim...no, we're not canceled.  We're taking off
next week 
to allow WB to work its magic, but that's about it.
