   "Earshot" was aired out of order, but the writer is correct that   
   the second part of "Graduation Day" was also postponed and about   
   the reasons for the postponement.   
      
   (The connection the WB drew between Graduation II and Columbine   
   didn't really make sense, but that's a different issue.)
