After having enjoyed another top-quality episode, there I sat eagerly awaiting
the preview for next week's, my finger poised on the pause button. The preview
had just started when all of a sudden the local news weasels at Boston's WCVB
decided to obliterate the soundtrack with their voiceover news teaser (appar-
ently the usual practice of doing this over the credits was not intrusive
enough). Lunging for the cable remote, I quickly switched to the Providence
ABC affiliate, and there, lo and behold was General Horne reviewing the troops
at the Great Northern. "Aha!" I exclaimed, realizing that the Providence
College basketball game had run late thus causing TP to be aired on a 15-minute
delay - fate had intervened on my behalf. After watching the almost-instant
replay of the last quarter of the show, I was ready to be rewarded with the
preview. The now-familiar sequence of commercials had just finished when what
should appear but a public service announcement with Bob "The Most Annoying
Person on Television" Saget, followed by the rolling TP credits. Aaaargh!!!

Would some kind soul fortunate enough to have seen and heard the preview
please post a description, thus relieving my torment?

Many Thanks,
Matt
