I'll take your word for that. Some years ago I listened to all the extant 300+ episodes of Dragnet from NBC Radio. The recording always ended with the NBC chimes and once an announcer said, "Three chimes mean good times." Going back to the question that started this thread, I have been reading along and trying to remember what I was watching when a major event happened. Not the event but the show and I can't think of any. I think network interruptions are rarer in the cable news era and especially during prime time since newsworthy stuff tends to happen during business hours. I wasn't watching TV when the 9/11 attacks happened and I wasn't watching when the Challenger exploded. The closest I can think of is I was sitting in Heinz Field at a Steelers game in 2001 when they stopped the game and President Bush came on the jumbotron to announce he was ordering US forces to Afghanistan. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
