The following from a JMS post I rec'd:

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

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.
