Rod Tribute To Air On Thursday

<< < (3/3)

Don Howard:

--- 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.
--- End quote ---

That cost him the 1992 election.


--- Quote ---But also the short lived NBC soap "Generations" didn't have a finale due to the Persian Gulf War coverage back in 1991.
--- End quote ---

Which is justice since that show was responsible for the cancellations of $otC and Super Password. Hah!


--- Quote ---I'd give you my own ruling, but I'd get in trouble with the moderators.
--- End quote ---

I'd like to hear it. E-mail me privately.

SteveRep:
I wouldn't be at all surprised if the tribute ran again on Friday. No real reason to expect it, but it wouldn't be totally inappropriate.

I an utterly flabbergasted that you are drawing a parellel between these two events. [/quote]

 Draw a line between gameshows and real life, please.  Just when I thought this place was better than the GSN boards...

 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 :)

Obgameshows: Didn't Mark Goodson call game shows "reality shows" in a 1986 interview with TV Game $how Magazine?
