CBS Sucks!

[Alex]

I just found this great article about CBS. This author hit the nail on the head, twice! Once in regards to viewers and once in regards to show creators. Hopefully a day will come when no one wants their show on CBS and no one wants to watch CBS. They are the show killing network. There are still a few shows on that network that I watch, but no new ones. I specifically avoid new shows on CBS because CBS does not give its new shows or the showrunners much of a chance.

I hope Swingtown comes back, but with low ratings I would not get my hopes up. If they cancel it, executive producer Carol Barbee will have had two shows that CBS killed after one season. I do not expect any sort of anouncement from them regarding Swingtown until they "choose not order any more episodes". Perhaps I am wrong on this one and hopefully so, but if CBS remains true to form I would not expect to see Swingtown next summer.

After reading this article, it looks like The Ex List might not make it either.

I worked for CBS TV NYC from 1963 thru 1972. I enjoyed it then and liked the company, but.....

.....now I am in your camp. And the news person who has brought CBS to the lowest level is Katy Couric, you know "...Sarah, what magazines do you read".

I got really pissed off last night.

They swapped out an insipid sitcom for the hilarious "My Worst Week". Checked my tv guide, and sure enuf.... it was CBS. :mad:

Les Moonves renegotiated his salary last year to 3.8 million with bonuses based on the performance of the companies stock - LOL.

Once William S. Paley (Chief Executive 1928-1980) and Frank Stanton (President 1946-1971) were no longer in charge, it was continually down hill right into the toilet.
