</span>Why are you surprised? CBS are the same network that almost every week<br>
(during sporting event seasons) screws up the Sunday night schedule to<br>
allow sporting events to run late. I hate CBS. They want their cake<br>
and they want to eat it too. They refuse to schedule a throw-away<br>
program after the sporting event to buffer overruns because they want<br>
their precious 60 minutes to run at 7pm (ET). Although that never<br>
happens so I wonder why they care so much.<br>
<br>
I avoid watching/recording that channel at all costs. I have it's score<br>
in my PVR adjusted to very low so that I can record from any another<br>
channel if at all possible.<br>

</span>I'm sure CBS are dutifully ignoring all of the complaints. They don't<br>
care about you, the viewer. In fact you are what they are selling. As<br>
long as they can continue to sell you to their advertisers, what you<br>
think is of complete irrelevance.<br>

<br>
</span>Lol. Now you are just being silly. :-)<br>
