I had intended to tape it, just so years later I could show my
grandchildren an example of how silly people can be about things like Y2K.
But I forgot all about it and didn't even watch.  Somehow I doubt I missed
anything worthwhile.

I watched a little bit.  It was horrid, real bad.  The ratings were also
bad.
 It came in third place.  NBC lost the night and they were very surprised.
 They had hoped the movie would turn into a cult thing.

Kind regards,

I refused to watch it.  But the reports I got agree with you.  NBC is only
in
it for the ratings; hopefully they were very low (like the movie attempt!)
