During the middle of PM Edition tonight, the spotlight shining on the American flag burned out. It was lit at the start of the show but burned out by the time they returned to the desk at 5:25 PM CT. I wonder if they stayed away from the desk for so long because it was flickering or something. The set is really starting to go down the dumps lighting-wise.
On a positive note, master control treated us with a classic extra-long PM Edition opener at 5:30 CT. They haven't used one of those in over a year or more, I'd venture to guess.
