Here's a technical difficulties moment from the CBS Special Movie Presentation of "Something For Joey". We see a Johnny Morris WBBM Sports bumper followed by a Gaines Gravy Train dog food sponser slide, and then the return of the movie - which is soon cut short by the TD moment.

It was moments like these where we didn't know if the missiles were already on their way or not. ;-)
