i guess i shouldn't have said "air all the episodes"...they have a buffer space...but if a network finds themselves with a currently hired animator, with 2+ seasons of material, chances are that they will terminate the contract, and renew it in a season or two. since they have a contract for the show, they're not going to lose it. they just terminate the animator for a while. crappy i supose, and it may not always work...i don't know all the ins and outs, as i'm not a network executive..this just seems like a fairly common policy.
