Well, you're not dreaming, but it's not coming back to network tv this fall,
either. STILL THE BEAVER, picking up where the made-for-tv movie of a couple of
years back left off, is going to be produced by Walt Disney Productions as an
original series for their premium cable service, The Disney Channel. So, if you
absolutely have to see it, you'll need cable tv, a cable company that broadcasts
The Disney Channel, or a friend who has them.
	Production should have started already, as of a few weeks ago, they were
auditioning little kids for roles. If it follows the same scheduling as Disney
Channel's current original series, FIVE MILE CREEK (which isn't bad, but I lost
interest after a few months), it'll show an episode every two weeks, for about 6
times in that two-week period.

	I've heard rumors that Disney was also thinking of producing a new Zorro
series, since re-runs of the original series on The Disney Channel were so popu-
lar. Anyone know anything more about that?
