Let the party begin - Three Rivers, Sundays @ 9 this Fall!!!

[wpgrace]

First update from the presentation. Can anyone say smug?

This is from thr: http://www.thrfeed.com/2009/05/cbs-upfr ... -blog.html

And the award for the largest video screen goes to...

Lights go down at 4:00 p.m. on the dot. Your buttoned-down neighbor is punctual.

Moonves: "This is where we put the 'up' in 'upfront week.'"

Noting an LA Times article that said CBS was doing great, but isn't sexy, Moonves says, "Who says we're not sexy? My wife thinks i'm sexy. Nobody likes hearing they're not sexy."

Maybe they're going to do a foam party after all.


"You know what I really love? Successfully launching new shows year after year. We don't make Page Six as much as the other guys, but we make the Nielsen Top 10 a lot more."

Which part of the horse did we decide upon again????

Very smug. And Les: you're not sexy, dude. Though, your network's sexiness rating just went up by about a thousand points due to the picking up of Alex's show.
And what is their demo-----I am guessing much older viewers boost them into that top 10.

Apparently, CBS will do major promotions before the upfronts.

MSJ - all the better to see you with.

Well, Simon Baker's put in an appearance:

Promoting broadcast as a whole, Moonves throws out a line about the Super Bowl ratings on NBC and another abotut Fox's "American Idol."

"Where but on the 'American Idol' juggernaut on Fox can you get the rapt attention of 50 million fans every week?" Moonves asked, which is pretty far down the list of things one expects him to say at the CBS upfront.

But then, lowering the boom on NBC, Moonves says, "there's a big difference between the model being broken and not being able to find any new hit shows for years."

Ouuuch.

And not entirely fair ("The Office" averaged a higher rating this season than "The Mentalist.")

"CBS can offer something the other guys can't -- lots of plus signs and up arrows. We're the only network showing growth in any any category. Flat is not the new up, despite what you heard."

On stage, there's brief appearances from Simon Baker and Lawrence Fishburne... regarding "CSI," this morning entertainment president Nina Tassler said producers will be searching for ways to bump up the show's falling ratings, and didn't rule out cast additions.

JoAnn Ross, head of sales, comes out to stick a couple more jabs at NBC.

"[NBC said] they're no longer programming for ratings, they're programming for profits. That means they're no longer programming for viewers. Don't believe the hype."

*cringe*

More embarrassing than watching your dad dance:

Neil Patrick Harris comes out to read rules from "The Bro Code" for how to behave at the upfront party, such as "bros before hos" and "what happens at the upfronts, stays at the upfronts" .... gaaahhh....

Bros before hos?

Seriously people. It's the 21st century.

And it's not a tacky bachelor party... or I guess it's not... ew.

His wife doesn't like vampires????????
I vaguely recall that, though I have tried to block that piece of inanity out. Why in Bob's green earth would you ever say such a thing when your husband's network has a vamp show airing?
Grrrr.

I am thinking we need a triple a*sed mutant horse now. We are heading into Octomom territory rapidly.

LILLY: CAN YOU FIND US A HORSEY SMILEY? STAT.

Thanks hon.
red---glad you enjoyed my little attempt at humor in my banner line. Don't expect more from me today, I am tapped out.

When she said it, her husband's network no LONGER had a vamp show airing... even more tacky... and suspicious.

But that was THEN... THIS is now... and her husband's network has a sexy workaholic doctor show airing... so perhaps she enjoys them better...
