It doesn't mention global warming as a root cause, a la Day After Tomorrow and previews look interesting. It does take a swipe at the power grid problem, which as we all know from last year is real. I think I'll watch it, but be wary of injected politics.

Fiction requires the suspension of disbelief.
The BS quotient on this one sounds even higher than "The Core."

Yeah, they probably didn't get to edit in an alternate version where it would take out Cincinnati instead!

You mean that the "Core" wasn't a documentary?

I guess we will find out. Probably mixing up the Fujita Scale and the Saffir-Simpson Scale. Which seems to imply a lack of sound consulting by weather experts, like Twister.

Thomas Gibson, Nancy McKeon, Brian Dennehy, Dianne Wiest and Randy Quaid star.... Behold the power of cheese.

only after they first cause the national power grid to collapse, making it impossible to warn anyone about the impending disaster.
Yup. No battery operated radios, generators, etc.

Yep. I can't believe I'm watching this BS. I just wanted to see things blow up (and blow up real good) and instead I'm seeing a bunch of junk science and some power company guy cheating on his wife for good measure.
P.S. Did you see the promo with CBS's new slogan: "Must CBS TV?" I think they meant "Must See B.S. TV."

Don't forget the evil energy company is screwing over the poor by making sure the rich always have power during the heat wave but the poor are left to roast. I finally had to turn it off around the time we learn the Lexor guy is getting it on with the blond chick. My B.S. meter pegged at maximum. Turned on ESPN to see the Bills being pounded by the Patriots.

Yep, its been known as SEE-BS for a long time.

Yep, its been known as SEE-BS for a long time. But now it seems like they're even admitting it, taunting us, as if to say, "Yeah, even WE know it's B.S. and you're still watching it!"
(still guilty of that myself, guess they win this time)

I now know why Nancy McKeon has been relegated to the Lifetime movie channel. What a bad actress she is.
Randy Quaid seems to have let himself go a little, but he still plays an excellent oddball character.

The villians are the power company and nuclear power plants (which the sympathetic character blowing the whistle on the capitalist pigs pronounced as being too dangerous to be used to supply power.)

The heroes are the news reporter, the idealistic head of the public utility, and the Washington bureaucrat who intervenes because the nuclear plant is making the lake water too hot.
The villians are the greedy power company and nuclear power plants.
