I'm not sure, but I don't believe this is THE Y2K show that many of us have heard about. It should be interesting nontheless. Thanks Nadine.

This is from tvguide.com:

Sunday Morning Scheduled: Reports on Y2K preparations, Elizabeth Streb's dance troupe and an Impressionists in Winter exhibition at New York's Brooklyn Museum that features paintings by Monet, Renoir, Gauguin, Cezanne, Pissarro and Sisley.

I think this is the full length show that was cancelled. I found this on another board. You can see a preview as well as buy it. (no affiliation)

JC: CBS show Sunday morning is NOT that video that is being sold on the net.

This is what Sunday's show will be about. I was at the meeting in Ashland, OR when they were filming. Following info was previously on CBS site:

CBS News Sunday Morning, Sunday, July 18 at 9 AM ET/PT

COVER: AFTER MIDNIGHT Correspondent: Bob Orr Producer: Brian Healy Editor: German Bonefont

What are you doing to prepare for the Y2K computer bug? Nothing? Well Government and business is spending billions of dollars to convert their old computers to recognize the new century. So are cities and towns.

Sunday Morning travels to southern Oregon--to Jackson County--to see what people and government are doing in the Town of Ashland. Many people here have begun storing food, others are starting Y2K gardens.

Meantime, John Koskinen has been named by President Clinton to travel the country to spread the message to get ready for Y2K. We travel with Koskinen to Miami Florida and talk with him about what all Americans should do to get ready for the new Millenium. Bob Orr is our correspondent.

Cheryl, I know that is not the CBS Sunday Morning show segment but I do believe it is the CBS special (full length-see original post)that was cancelled.
