For me, the impact was smaller, compared with waiting 5 years!

I was in Ottawa on time to watch seasons 4 and 5; I don't remember if 
they also replayed other seasons at the time. So when I watched the 
season 3 I didn't have to wait long to watch season 4 on the satellite 
channel, I think an ancestor of SciFi channel.
