Well... SS Season 36 is indeed slated to start up on 4/4/2005. The January or mid-February rumors were just that, rumors. Sadie, don't expect too much relief. After the 26 new Season 36 episodes air for the first time from April to May 2005, they'll be rerun until the start of Season 37 in April of 2006 should that be confirmed in the winter of 2005.
Hope this helps and have a good weekend.
