Rod Tribute To Air On Thursday

(1/3) > >>

KyleCHaight:
I was informed by "The Price Is Right" just now that a tribute to Rod will air at the top of Thursday morning's episode.

Kevin Prather:
I'll be sure to see it.

Captain Hank:
I'm really glad it's on Thursday as today here in Ohio, the good Mr. President was on for 45 minutes and I wondered all day if I had missed the tribute at the end of the show.

Thanks for letting us know. I will probably tape this one. Still can't believe we've lost him. :-(

See, there is justice in television!  President George W. Bush "rained out" (my term for pre-emption) TPIR @ an unlikely time & CBS didn't forget the game show fans of remembering Rod Roddy!

 Another example of justice goes back to 1989 when NBC pulled "Heidi 2"!

If you remember the 1968 incident when NBC cut away a football game (NY Jets @ Raiders) for Heidi.  Football fans were upset over NBC Sports mistake, they lit up the phones!  The next day, The Today Show opened with the last 10 minutes of the football game that wasn't shown!  This incident is known as "The Heidi Bowl".

"Heidi 2":  Classic Concentration was having it's Tournament of Champions.  And halfway through Friday's concluding episode, President Father Bush rains out the game with an address!  Classic Concentration fans felt the same sting of the Heidi incident!  The following Monday, NBC did tell the viewers who won that tournament before the show started!
