The DS Program Guide lists the reason whenever an episode was pre-empted.

It looks like you're shouting.  It's more difficult and takes longer to read.  For these reasons, it's considered bad netiquette.

[hall_angry] Personally, I've never forgiven President Johnson for all the time he pre-empted "Batman", especially if it was the second part of a cliff-hanger!  [Bat]

I think we all remember where we were, the day Richard Nixon addressed the UN, and made it all okay with the whole world, that we were in Vietnam.   It was a total triumph for him, but then we all knew that.    It almost eclipses the moon landing in our collective consciousness.     From that point on, no one doubted that the war was a great thing.    Good old Dick, gettin' the job done... for us.   Had a great opening act, too.    A juggler, or something.
