A strange thing happened while I was watching "Scrabble" on Thursday night. [View all]

It's on the CW affiliate in my area. About 15-20 minutes in, all of a sudden, the channel was playing a CBS program, "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage." At first I thought one of the cats changed the channel, which they do from time to time. I have a habit of leaving the remote either by my side on the couch or the arm of the couch. When one of them steps on it, the channel gets changed or the remote gets turned off or worst of all, the cable gets changed to an auxiliary setting and it takes me 10-15 minutes to figure out how to get the cable back. But it was not the cat. I looked at the CBS channel and it was showing "Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage." Both channels were showing it simultaneously. About 20 minutes later, "Scrabble" came back on. By that time, I pretty much lost interest.

I've never seen anything like that happen before. It was weird.
