 Some way to run a "NATIONAL" ad campaign...allowing local stations to clobber
your ads 8-| or else the CBM ads were not as memorable as Apple and IBM ads;^)
Based on the various postings I've read the Monday Night Football commercial 
was run at half time which is when our "progressive" (means the station manager
can read and write) Alabama station, ch48, ran their local trash ads.
I agree with one of the posters that it would be nice for C= marketing to post
a listing of their spot schedule.  I also agree from the plot description
it sounds like only the Boy Wonder, Stevie, can operate the damn thing!
Of course, the M*A*S*H stars portrayed as business people is pretty ludicrous
as well... and as someone once said "Nobody ever got elected president by
overestimating the intelligence of the public" or was that got to be a
famous talk show host...8=)
