THURSDAY
August 13, 1998
I was disappointed that the PUSH show,
in which our band had its first major network appearance, was not
shown for reasons unknown to all. Instead, they showed
the documentary on dolphins! I was kinda bummed about the whole
thing, and being that my wife and I had told family, friends and
coworkers about the new TV show. My predictions are that the
show cancelled again. There was not enough interest generated
by the show. So the show probably went bellyup.
The following is an e-mail post to the
Big Time Operator Mailing List concerning the PUSH show that was supposed
to air tonight, but didn't-----

Well folks!
As we all tuned in to ABC's first broadcast
of the
television show PUSH, we were all
surprised to
find that a show about Dolphins was shown
instead!
And as our bewilderment grew into dumbfoundedness,
we realized that what might've been meant
to be, was
after all... perhaps, not meant
to be... at least for tonight.
I don't know what the logic was for not
airing a NEW
show that was promoted in all the papers,
with trailers
shown weeks before the first show was
to air, and then
...nothing!
Boy, my apologies to all who were
eager to hopefully
see BTO in action on their first major
network debut.
But then again, it wasn't my fault.
The show was
scheduled to air on the given date at
the given time.
It was posted on the local TV Weekly Magazine
and
was promoted heavily on ABC. In
fact, the local
ABC affiliate had one of their anchorwomen
announcing that PUSH would air just 5 minutes or so before the show was
to go on!
So now the question is, why didn't it air?
And after
telling family, friends, neighbors, coworkers
and the
whole world, practically...
it didn't air, and instead
we watched dolphins prancing around freely
in the
oceans of the world.
Well, folks! My only guess is that
since this was a
primetime spot at 8pm, the show
was pulled at the
last minute possibly because of something
in the
show that was considered unworthy of being
on the
primetime spot. I mean,
the dolphin show was rated
G. Could there have been something
in the show
that might've been considered too risqué
for the time
slot, or was the band gyrating their
hips a certain
way that met with dissaproval? We
may never know.
I mean, this episode WAS entitled
"Athletic Supporters". Was this title considered unacceptable or
inappropriate?
*sigh*
But all I know is, the show WAS s'possed
to have
aired, and it didn't. Wow,
what a total bummer!
OK *sob, sob*
The show must go on...
So next up is The CBS Morning Edition and
the NEW "Cookin" television show / pilot...
of which I'm not tellin' anymo'.
