NBC BLASTED FOR UPCOMING Y2K SCARE FILM WASHINGTON -- The NBC-TV Network has been hit with stinging criticism over plans to air Y2K -- a two-hour suspense thriller about a trouble-shooter trying to save the world from catastrophic computer disaster -- just weeks before New Year's Eve 1999! "This is one of the most irresponsible things to ever come out of Hollywood!" charged a lawmaker on the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem. "Why is NBC doing this? There are going to end up scaring people into a complete panic. Shame, shame, shame on them!" On Wednesday NBC announced plans to air Y2K on November 21, in what is being described as a "Sweeps Event." "As the millenium dawns in North America, most of the Eastern Seaboard suffers a major power outage," NBC said in a press release. "But the worst is yet to come. Nick [a complex systems failure expert consulting the government played by actor Ken Olin] must stay ahead of the unpredictable Y2K bug as it spreads across the United States threatening everyone, including his own family on the West Coast." In NBC's Y2K, the computer bug causes widespread ATM failures -- a plot twist that has one U.S. Senator concerned about real-life bank runs! "After people see this movie, they could get the idea in their head and rush to the bank to get money out -- this could trigger cash problems," said the Senator, who asked not to be identified. In NBC's Y2K -- a nuclear power plant even threatens to go into meltdown.
