AUGH!
All My Children is being pre-empted completely for local news PRE-coverage of the verdict in the stupid stupid stupid Peterson trial. There's apparently a verdict that they will announce at 1:00. SO WHY do they have to pre-empt AMC? There's no actual news! (Not that this case should be "news" anyway.) Pre-empt One Life to Live at 1:00!
What's the matter with these people? I HATE local news.
Okay, now I have to figure out how smart TiVo is. I scanned through this recording and they claim they're putting this episode on at 2:00. Should I do a manual recording? Or should I just record today's episode of General Hospital, which will really be AMC? I guess I could do both, I do have two tuners.
Some song lyrics have just popped into my head: "Why do we always come here? I guess we'll never know. It's like a kind of torture to have to watch this show..."

Don't worry. My local news didn't care about Scott Peterson at all so I got to see AMC and you missed nothing!

Yeah, I saw it at two (AM), BUT STILL, it was the principle of the thing. It was like that earthquake in '97 or so in Seattle where nothing at all was really damaged, but they pre-empted the first new ER in like two months and we had to wait like three months to see the episode we missed.
I HATE local news.
