Variety Egg Hands Out An Earful Of Applesauce Re Night Stalker Getting The Icy Mitt

For instance:

Eye hasn't officially ordered a back nine on that show, but if it turns in a solid perf this Friday, the pickup will be a no-brainer.

. . .

Meanwhile, ABC has pulled the plug on its revival of "Night Stalker," halting production on the skein effective immediately. Seg skedded for this week will be replaced by a two-hour edition of "Primetime Live."

What possible advantage does "skedded" have over scheduled? And "Eye" instead of CBS? Unnecessary jargon is the worst. What a ridiculous publication.

As far as the show goes, I don't think anyone will miss it. It wasn't bad. In fact, as far as the broadcast networks go, it was probably the show I liked the most in the timeslot. Or, that's not right. It's the only show in the timeslot that I wasn't actively avoiding. Plus it was on right after Alias, and where was I going to go? But it was just kind of inertly there.
