nothing good to watch on sunday, except 'shameless.'
before that, i watched the predictable sag awards then 'housewives'
The Lost Valentine was great
The Pro Bowl was one of the few original segments aired on Sunday night.
The game itself was a waste on many levels. The players seemed to put in 25% effort and treated the game as a joke. The final score was more like arena football. Have the winning get get a benefit in home field or something of value the following year. Then at least they will be playing for something, instead of drinks after the game.
Please spare the league the humiliation in the future. If they stay with the Pro Bowl, put it AFTER the Super Bowl
Really good numbers for America's Funniest Home Videos and Extreme Home Makeovers against the football game and agains CBS' Undercover Boss. Why is ABC moving EHM? That may turn out to be a huge mistake. Granted, Secret Millionaire looks promising.
Hard to believe that miserable "football game" pulled in 13M viewers. At least iIn the final hour it looked like about 3M of those finally came to the same conclusion I had reached two hours earlier-- that the only thing the NFL was actually "playing" was a really bad joke on their loyal fans.
Got to admit though...that's the best numbers the Pro Bowl has done in years, so maybe it's not a bad idea to keep it in between the championship games and Super Bowl. NBC continues to be a waste!
dat louse stylevomiter still alive?
Betty White was great on Lost Valentine. I just loved the movie & it was a tear jerker.
Very happy to see The Lost Valentine did so well..i don't watch CBS shows much, but with Jennifer Love Hewitt & Betty White..i had to tune in.
Way to go ladies!
