I confess, I have been spoiled re: movies on TV. Usually I watch satellite feeds without commercials. But although I now live closer to the East Coast I still get a West Coast feed for the four major networks. That would have meant staying up to midnight to tune in. So I watched it over an omni antenna with a signal bouncing around the mountains from Charlotte, NC a hundred miles away. So picture this movie varying between partial color to black and white, and back at 10 times a minute. I missed the yuppie chairs, and only recognized the McDonald's commercial when they flashed the logo at the end. But I got the point, and they tried to cover too many of them. I do have to say I enjoyed it. I am pleased that it aired. I won't critique it, we couldn't help but be critical. Yes, even without the fluctuating chromatics, Y2K was not worth rewatching at midnight. I turned it off before the local "experts" came on to tell us not to worry. "What ME worry?" I'd already seen "The China Syndrome" The customized Y2K commercials were a novel idea. They probably won't do a sequel. . . Bill
