That one news blooper where the anchor said "fire" instead of "wire" and nobody caught it for 6 takes
I work at a small station in Ohio and last Tuesday we had to reshoot a segment about utility repairs because the anchor kept saying "fire department" when the script clearly said "wire department." The director finally let it through on take 6 just to move on. Has anyone else's crew just given up on a blooper like that?

You just have to pick your battles and let the small stuff slide or you'll never get the show out the door.

That whole "let the small stuff slide" thing is easy to say until you're three weeks in and someone keeps leaving the gels out at room temp. @pat_murray53 probably built a studio just so he wouldn't have to see the empty coffee cups anymore.

Read an article about how some stations now keep a blooper reel budget line item because they know they'll waste time on stuff like that. Sounds like your director was just trying to stick to the schedule.
