Funny thing I've been noticing lately is that one of the local PBS stations (KCSM College of San Mateo CA) has been airing shows late at night that have the sound OUT OF SYNCH!

How the hell can this be? It's not like as in an old movie projector if you had a loop in the film around the optical sound pickup (off by a couple of sprockets/frames). I thought the sound was synched IN the tape's signal somehow. It's the strangest and most annoying thing.

The soundtrack almost sounds like it's been dubbed as that's how the ear perceives it, but I've watched it carefully and it's just plain out of synch. Go figger.
