I an utterly flabbergasted that you are drawing a parellel between these two events. [/quote]
Everyone knows the real "Heidi 2" moment occurred just two or three weeks earlier when 1989 when Dubya's dad cut into the last segment of the $otC finale. [/quote]
Draw a line between gameshows and real life, please. Just when I thought this place was better than the GSN boards... [/quote]
We all know that a national news story(Bush speech, California wildfires, etc.), or a local news story(in my case the partial building collapse in Atlantic City yesterday, which did cut into at least two game shows on the Philly stations, but WMGM-TV 40 NBC in Atlantic City apparently didn't do live coverage due to their relatively small budget, but that's another story), is more important than a game show. I'm done long arguing with it(though I'll argue that a sports-based story can wait 24 minutes to be broadcast), but we're here to talk about game shows, not real life
