J! aired at the usual time in my viewing area but not on the usual channel - it was relegated to an affiliate station (MeTV).

Ottawa and Amsterdam were skating neck and neck for a while, but on Sunday Ottawa began to pull farther and farther ahead. Current score Ottawa 29 to Amsterdam 21.

Of course the one week I finally get all three non-FJ clues in this poll is the one week I batch the FJs.

Amsterdam, and Velveteen Rabbit for Watership Down.

Boo, hiss.

I just read Watership Down for the first time a couple months ago. Very entertaining read. I haven't seen any of the film adaptations.
