 The production schedule has been somewhat unorthodox and  unpredictable for viewers. Originally 52 episodes were shot in a  batch, then aired on Showcase in 2001 for its first season. Then,  new shows stopped appearing until 2004, leaving many to think the  show was cancelled. A new batch of 26 episodes began airing in the  fall of 2004. Then no more news about the show was given leading to  people thinking, once more, that the show had been cancelled.  However it was renewed for another season of 26 episodes which will  air in 2008.
