LINK: OGIC documents the silliness behind ABC's attempts to promote the Oscars. I especially liked this one:
""In addition, characters on three ABC daytime soaps—'General Hospital,' 'One Life to Live' and 'All My Children'—will talk about the awards show, saying they plan to watch the Sunday telecast or attend an Oscar party. They will stop short of saying they are watching on ABC because the network figured that was obvious."
Also, it seems like there's a logical problem with this one:
"ABC has asked writers on its prime-time series to weave the Oscars into their story lines. In an episode of 'It's All Relative,' for example, one character will get mad at another who breaks the remote control, spoiling plans to watch the Oscars."
even if the remote control did get broken, why wouldn't you still be able to watch TV? Goodness knows I manage to keep up my busy TV schedule despite perpetually losing my remote.
