Missed DOnD 2-25
« on: February 25, 2008, 09:11:27 PM »
Well, I had planned to watch the final Million $ Mission, and saw in TV Guide Magazine that "My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad" was supposed to air at 7 PM (Central) before DOnD.  So what happened, They got it BACKWARDS!  Now I missed all but the last few seconds as the credits rolled, I know nothing of what happened (no spoilers please), and NOW I either need a tape copy from someone or the EXACT airdate CNBC will run it.  I'm now off to send a Jeer to the magazine...

Heed the words that I've been reading in TV GUIDE since 1965.

"Stations and networks reserve the right to make last minute changes."

Ain't TV Guide's fault the schedule was changed.

Gee, thanks for that.

And it ain't TVG's fault that it was the only source DJ (apparently) looked at.

I stopped trusting TVG when it stopped coming in the smaller localized form.

Interesting use of the word "need," for that matter.

As a soon to be employee of TV Guide, I wish to extend my deepest regret that you missed Deal or No Deal yesterday.  I'm sorry we did not get to your house to correct your paper copy of the magazine after NBC had changed the order of the showing.  We sent somebody out from L.A. on Friday going door to door correcting our customers' issues, but he only got as far as Denver.  Let me assure you that Gemstar-TV Guide takes all customer complaints seriously.

Personally, I think TVG is now published farther in advance as a national edition, instead of a couple of weeks when they had local editions, leading to a greater chance of error, in light of programming changes.

My choice of TV listings is often my local paper, as they tend to be more accurate and timely than TVG these days. And if I need more details, I turn to the web, most often to (surprise!) TVG's website.

I didn't know TVG had offices in southern California -- I thought everything ran out of either NYC or Tulsa.

The broadcast properties have their offices in Burbank.  And they still have a major presence in good ole' Radnor, PA.  I'll be visiting Radnor next month.

Okay, I now know from having read it elsewhere that the million still wasn't won last time.  Nonetheless, I'd still prefer to see this one repeated on CNBC and would like to know of its upcoming airdate.
