I hate it when a show I’m watching is preempted for something stupid. Important news is an acceptable reason to interrupt tv shows. But Joe Torre turning down a five million dollar, one year, performance based contract is hardly news worthy of a preemption at all, never mind one longer than a half hour. I know some people love baseball. (I’m not one of them.) but come on people, there’s real news out there. The story would have kept until the 5pm news.
