Well to be fair.. with Samurai, he was only cheap with the actors. I'm pretty hopeful that the first season copy/paste job was just a result of them trying to get the first 20 episodes done as quick as possible.
He doesn't mean airing them. He means having them filmed and edited and stuff in enough time to have them airing by the time the cast goes back to film the second half.
Yes, you're correct, NightMere. Saban can't control how it airs. He can only give Nickelodeon certain guidelines but otherwise Nickelodeon does what it wants to.

At least, I'm assuming that's what he meant.
