news"?

I was thinking I would watch a show about the 60's and unrest, and now I'm watch s**t go down live in Dallas. Kinda messed up.

In what country/state/provence are you watching?

Pacific Time.

Here in the Chicago area they only mentioned the shootings during the breaks and said to stay tuned for the full report at 10 (which is 8pm PT). So maybe they didn't have the full story yet, and/or that many shootings is just another day in the life for Chiraq.

No they didn't interrupt the program here in the Philly area. However they did have a scroll at the bottom of the screen saying what happened.

Here in Phoenix, MST, they didn't break in at all...I was surprised.

You can always watch it online. That's what I did. They preempted the whole show here. But that's because the 'kinda messed up ****' happened here.

OMG! Were you there?

I live in Dallas. I usually watch the show on DVR. I went to watch it tonight, and had forgot what day the show airs.

This was a horrific event, and I know people who were there. Thankfully, they are fine, but one friend works at a Hotel near the shootining scene, and was stuck there until the next afternoon.
I may not agree with your opinion, but I will defend to the death your right to disagree!

Yes - I can't find it anywhere else to watch either. It was 15 minutes of the show and then another 10 minutes in the middle. So I missed a lot here in Los Angeles. I tried to watch it about 3 days later after the Dallas shootings.

That being said, you would think that 5 cops shot would make TV stop altogether for a couple hours while the story was breaking. I think that would have been the case years ago. I was surprised when I started ffwing thru it that the show was even on. Honestly, it was worse seeing bits and pieces of the show anyway. And now I can't find it to watch anywhere.

The whole hour was pre-empted by what was going on downtown.

We were glued to the TV, of course, and I was thanking God that my son and DIL were off camping in another state (he works downtown), and once more, I was grateful that he was turned down when he applied to be a cop.

We gave up on On Demand last night and watched the episode on-line. Then tonight, it was added to On Demand.

I went to the same high school as Tex, though he graduated when I was in 7th grade so I didn't know him. I still have a play program for the senior play he was in.

He's where he needs to be.
