At least we got a break from Big Brother last night, boring show that it is.
Also I hear it's a done deal for Sela Ward to replace Melina Kanakaredes on CBS' CSI:NY next season. Ward will play a new CSI joining the team of Detective Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise). CBS and producing studio CBS TV Studios moved swiftly after it became clear that Kanakaredes won't return to the show after her contract expired at the end of season 6. Production on Season 7 of CSI:NY starts on July 28. Ward, who has won two lead actress in a drama series Emmys, one for Sisters, and one for Once and Again, was last seen on TV in a major recurring role on the second season of Fox's House.
i sure do miss Big Brother, thats my favorite summertime show, i wish it was on every night.
you can seek it online any time or at night on show time 2 fake Donna! Haha lol porr thing. And does preta that divet take every other day off? Must be spending her days off in the nail salon. Haha lol oprr sad thin.
I agree with ****. BIG BROTHER is boring. The worst of the worst when it comes to reality. Bachleorette is addicting.
The host of Big Brother is just old and stupid, she should be on the view, LOL.
Fred must be gay, if he finds a girly, sissy show like bacherlorette so addidckting, Haha lol oprr sad thin.
****/Donna/Pierre...it truly amazes me the intellect you possess which is none, and besides, everyone knows the outcome of the Bachelorette, since you revealed those results yourself a few weeks ago, DOUCHE!
What has happened to CBS' sitcoms? They get weaker and weaker each week. Two & a Half Men use to be powerful even in repeats. Wonder if Sheen's abusive behavior has turned off fans?
Glad to hear Melina is leaving. I never thought she was a very good actress - pretty stiff delivery of her lines and what her character, Stella, would say just did not match for Melina. I did not find any chemistry between her and Mac. I enjoy Danny and Lindsey; it's nice to see a relationship on TV that works and is fun. Sela Ward is a class act; she will bring the ratings back to CSI NY. I don't believe that CSI NY has the lowest ratings. Las Vegas has gone right down the toilet since William Peterson left and they killed off Gary Dourdan's character. CSI Miami has high ratings because men like to see all the female characters parade around in low-cut tops and high-heeled shoes. What police woman would dress like that? I like David Caruso, but how that series portrays the female cops is ridiculous. They dress like they're working as dancers in a bar. Sela Ward will bring some spark and light to CSI NY. Melina is pretty dull.
