[Roadsters] The Mitty on CBS Sports 11/24!

[Alvin Gogineni]

Hi All,
I got reports from you today that CBS only aired episodes 1 and 2. From the
producer:

"Alvin- yeah the network totally screwed up as you described. I’ve already
started my way up the network food chain to get this straightened out and I
will let you and everyone know when the make good airings will be. I am so
angry and frustrated but maybe I can wrangle some extra airings out of
them. "
