"“What’s at issue here is a principle -- how this all works vs. a specific dollar amount. And that precedent is why for both sides this is a very high-stakes game,” said Harley Shaiken, a labor relations expert at the University of California-Berkeley. No, he’s not speaking of some high-faluting political situation or even how to sell used cars. The subject matter at hand is the nasty strike between the Hollywood writers and the studios and networks."
"Jericho's season two premieres on Feb. 12 is a date to circle on your calendars as the show's resurrection thanks to a grass roots campaign may be the single greatest fan triumph in television history. Even better, these seven episodes could lead to a season three, depending on ratings. The underrated New Adventures Of Old Christine finds a home in the CBS line up as of 2/12, which is also when The Captain, starring Jeffrey Tambor and Chris Klein, debuts. New cycles of Big Brother and Survivor are back earlier than scheduled and the Drew Carey hosted Power of 10 will be used to fill holes as well."
"Open Letter to CBS Chairman Leslie Moonves from United Poultry Concerns
"I am writing to you in regard to the killing of two hens on “Kid Nation” on September 26, 2007. I request that CBS refrain from this kind of programming in the future.
This is the second time I have written to you about the killing of live animals on your shows targeting children and teenage audiences. First there was “Survivor,” and now there is this ugliness of CBS to contend with. What is wrong with you?"
Excellent article from The Jericho Bulletin
"CBS should stop being so cheap and PAY for the marketing and advertising it needs to promote Jericho properly, instead of needling the fans to provide more FREE STUFF for this multi-BILLION-DOLLAR corporation."
Here's a comment:
"On the other hand, it was a crafty move by CBS, if they intended the show to fail all along. Put the marketing in the hands of thousands of relative strangers with no PR training, and then expect them to do the same thing for which they pay the professionals in their advertising department. Then, once the amateur marketing fails, they can chalk it up as the fans not being "passionate" enough. And they wonder why people are unhappy with them?"
*** CBS has done a lot of things that have caused me to lose faith in them. I don't think they learned much from Nuts at all.***
