yes. i noticed it to.i was sooooo exited to see them back on.i had heard that they were gonna start playing them again because of the strike, but hadn't really believed it. i think it might of been because if ratings too though. personally, i stopped watching TV all together when they took them off cause there wasn't anything else on. i really only watched dancing with the stars and that was it. i sure hope they keep them on. i missed them alot .lol
