Kristin Dodd is tonight's weather.com OCM, so tonight it's either gang time, "sounds like a plan" time, or just Rich all alone in his brown sport coat and black pants. :P

You're funny  :rofl2:
I was laughing at what you said by "it's either gang time" and "sounds like a plan" time  :rofl2:

That's not something you see everyday: they actually came back right after the recorded teaser at :06 to tell us about a tornado warning that was just issued before going to break.

They did something similar to that other night, too (it might have been Tuesday or Wednesday).
My super-awesome website!

I just saw a graphic on the LCD display with a WeatherREADY logo on top of the EE background. Never seen that before.

On the Road Crew sponsor graphic, they just call it "Road Crew" now instead of TWC Road Crew. The sponsor didn't even change so I wonder why they renamed it "road crew"

Woah, that's weird. O_o

I see they're also using the standardized teaser graphics...

Did Dave just forget/have trouble with Alex's name? I feel bad for Dave... :(

That's right. Adam called Sharon Krtistin on occasion.

I never saw Alex Wallace on TV. Missed my chance today. I hope to see his tomorrow.

I see the recorded teaser transition failed for the second EEAD in a row. They were doing so well with this back in August!

All of a sudden the playback of EEAD has become really jagged in terms of motion; I remember they'd always have this problem during 2005-2006, but it had long since been fixed. I wonder why it's back...

Also on the EEAD rebroadcast, the TWC HD logo from the HD feed is showing up behind the logo on the SD feed. Apparently the HD feed is rebroadcast to both HD and SD.

I could've sworn we've discussed this here before...

Anyway, this is really weird; right now, WWCH (Challenger episode) is being broadcast as scheduled on the Zap2It guide, but it was preceded by a modern Cable in the Classroom bumper that was letterboxed with HD pillar bars. Is this some sort of special half-hour edition of the series that counts as a Cable in the Classroom presentation? There's also no LDL, just a TWC logo in the corner.
