I seem to remember this show taping live. Does anyone else recall that?

Actually I do remember. It aired live a couple of times. I think it was to boost the ratings which I guess didnt work. That was a pretty good try though. Going live is not an easy task.

It aired live more than a "couple of times".

There was a whole season of live ROC episodes. About 6 years before there was such a big Hype about ER doing the same thing once, it was being done on ROC every week.

Good show.
