I completely disagree with the logic behind your comments.
Lots of serial shows are re-run.  My point was that re-running
a show like Twin Peaks would have done nothing but *HELP* the retain
viewers in the long run by giving people that had missed episodes a chance 
to "catch up."

The *FIRST* season didn't need to be re-run obviously.  By Christmas,
there were more than 6 weeks worth from the second season to re-run.
