Thanks,this BatHell thing is the Cats'Ass!,2 studios own it?,come
on!,no wonder they're doing lousy.i did see 1 sight that was elling
the Hornet,but,it looked''shady'',like an ''overnight set up''
websight,I was trusting my instints.another reason the hornet maybe
held up is the amount of episodes ,it was only a season,so,it isn't
much.
