Check the box first. Otherwise it will just do it over again.

Hey Goin'Down--You're joking, right? There was NO television during WWII. The shows you refer to were all done at least 10 years after the war ended...Soupy Sales shows were broadcast by ABC in the 1960s.

Welcome to the forum! I am one of the forum history curmudgeons.

<clearing throat>

While it is true that during WWII, commercial Television was in a slump, it is not exactly accurate to say that there was "no television during WWII"

NBC started regular TV broadcasting in 1939
CBS started regular TV broadcasting in 1939
Dumont started regular TV broadcasting in 1940

The selling of advertising was approved by the FCC on 1 July 1941

The BBC had their first TV schedule in 1936.

And those are just the commercial networks. If you want to consider corporate TV stations the record is held by General Electric

The first regular schedule of TV programming is begun by GE in Schenectady. Programs are transmitted Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday afternoons from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. When was this? 11 May, 1928!

There may not have been a lot of TV during WWII, but hardly none.

How about the screen prompt that says Your Submarine has been Destroyed.
I never like seeing that one.

Who are you kidding? They hard coded it into the game in honor of you! I heard that the first ship that got you had red paintings labelled with the word "BARN" painted on its sides.
