Yet again, Carl has gotten into another coughing fit on EEWC, and he gave up the segment a minute early, leaving us with a minute-long serenade of EE music while the maps progressed through full-screen.

Just now, Vivian called Rich "Nick." Rich was then like, "Yeeeaaah, Nick is long gone by now..."

During the tease for A&B, the director decided to use a new angle / shot, a single shoulder shot of Abrams, which worked and looked cool, until Kristina's head popped in to the shot, may I say her HUGE head... Took up the whole screen!

Well good-grief, he needs to take some days off. :hmm: At least we get to hear the EE music though. :P

On a lower third, they just displayed Tom Moore's name as "Moore, Tom". They quickly took it down afterward. My question is: how did they even make that mistake in the first place?

Apparently there are no "I can answer that!" images on google... Grr...

Anyways, there are two modes to the CG system, well 3, but only 2 are used while on air... the 3 modes are Edit, Playlist, and Animation...

Since you guys dont have the program, let use powerpoint as an example...

Edit mode in CG world is like having the main slide you are working with in the big box, and having all other slides on the boxes to the side.. Usually, the slide in the big window is the one that is on air. The operator can change the titles live, by double clicking a slide on the left, thus bringing it to air.

Playlist mode is where all slides / titles are listen in a big (what looks like a table) list format. This mode shows NO preview of what the slide / title will look like, but it does have a user enterable text description, and the actual key text.

I assume to operator was in Playlist mode to achive this error. Before the show the CG operator must have accidently renamed the actual title, instead of the custom usertitle.  Why they would give it a custom title with the name formatted like that? I dont know. What ever helps the operator do the job.

And of course, the last mode, Animation. People who go in there and mess with settings, well, die. Those are custom setting that control every frame of the flying key animation. These never get changed between shows, or at ANY time.

Seriously, WTF? :blink:

Normally, it might fit, but I don't think A&B airs on weekends. Or does it?
