OK, after ripping on
SpikeTV and
MTV2 yesterday, I get to rip on
CBS today. Love how they walked right into my little trap. Muhahaha! Anyways, I don't know why I'm even defending it because I never saw an episode, but CBS announced today that they're cancelling the baseball drama
Clubhouse. Lets just say that it didn't take a genius to see that coming. Probably, the best time to launch a sports-related show aimed at young male viewers isn't during the initial Fall season. Clubhouse originally debuted on a Sunday night (competing against the NFL on ESPN), then moved to Tuesday nights (competing against the baseball playoffs), and finally to Saturday nights (competing against college football and people who have a life). Hopefully, it'll come back mid-season at a better spot in the schedule because it really did look good.
To be fair, here's some stuff from Viacom that I do like:
- David Letterman
- Comedy Central
- CBSNews.com - probably the best organized American news website, with free video
- Infinity Broadcasting - for being willing to support Howard Stern
- That episode of Eve last night on UPN that had Danica McKellar in that hot red dress (what can I say, put a woman in red or pink and I'm drawn in like a bear to honey)
- Local channel UPN 44 - runs an hour of The Simpsons every weekday and has attempted local programming with Tampa Bay Gamers Unleashed.
