Somebody messed up the premiere of 24 for lots of somebodys in the Midlands. The reaction is pretty strong. Loony at points. But I don't think I've fallen that far yet.
"The '24' mishap might remind another generation of viewers of a national TV goof on Sept. 17, 1968, when NBC cut off the last hour of a pro football game to show the made-for-TV movie 'Heidi.' As a result, football fans missed it when the Oakland Raiders scored two touchdowns in nine seconds to beat the New York Jets.”
Final score: Raiders--14, Heidi--1, Fans--riot.

I remember it like it was yesterday. I, along with the other men in the house were outraged that they would cut off a great game to air Heidi. At three years old, I grabbed my blankie and cried myself to sleep, not lnowing who won the game. I had to read it in the newspapers the next morning like every other child. Boy, what a rip!
Wow, I thought I repressed that memory..
