That's Just Wrong: Bad Video on TV, May 11-15, 2011

Happens to the best of them, albeit the errors are smaller and harder to see. Finally watched last week's "Treme". There were old cartoons showing on a TV screen and the frame dominance was backwards. Very small and only for a few moments.

Final game of the Miami/Boston NBA playoffs on TNT. "NBA Cares" spot in 3rd quarter had bad lip sync. Then on Sunday in the 1st quarter of the Memphis/Oklahoma City game on ABC, a Russell Westbrook interview also had bad lip sync.

Then there's the Kroger "Yellow Tag" spot. I've only seen it on WCMH-TV, but both times (Friday afternoon during "Ellen" and Monday during the 6 o'clock news) there has been field reversal. The fast animations look particularly bad. Monday the lip sync was off, too. I keep looking for the spot on other channels, but haven't run across it yet. It does not look like a station issue. I'd be pretty upset if I were paying for that spot.
