Well, that means it's time for Listener Man.

I'm going to call this the pain of preemption because that's what Michael called it.

Hey, guys, love the Saturday morning cartoon episode.

I was born in 84 and watched them well into high school.

Your episode covered a lot, but you left out one thing, the pain of preemption.

Local channels carried the big networks would often cut off the cartoons to show golf, baseball, or other sports.

And as a kid, I know, I never knew when this was going to happen.

Just suddenly the joy of cartoons was abruptly halted to show a golf match that no kid would care about.

I never got to see the Christmas special, Christopher the Christmas Tree, or the last episode of Ultimate Muscle.

I haven't heard of either one of those.

I haven't either, but I still feel for him.

He said, I don't want to bring down the room, but it's important to remember that those wonderful mornings could be broken at any time.

Thanks for making such a great show.

That is from Michael J. Crandall.

And I forgot to mention, Michael, his initial salutation was, Dear Mike and Josh.

Wow, he's got himself on the brain.

I know.

Well, that was a great email, Michael, and thank you to Mike for reading it.

Okay, I'll be Mike.

No, you're not Mike.
