I caught the show saturday 2/12 at 0530 here in western NC on our ABC
affiliate. It was late in the show, right after a pet (NO! not PET)
segment. Nice to see the hobby recognized! It looks like it was edited
quite a bit. Main points were the URLs of related websites. Also had some
nice pans of a collection before going to commercials throughout the show.
