Where was it?

We here in PA didn't get to see it, even though all the schedules said it would be on. I cannot stand having real programs preempted by reality shows. This time is was Undercover Boss. I didn't watch it! I remember being angry about Cold Case being preempted by some other stupid reality show. Please stop doing this, CBS! Most of the programs I watch are on CBS because they are good programs. Don't screw it up!

Interesting! I can't submit this review unless it is 10 lines long. Well, it is really difficult to review a program I didn't get to see even though I had looked forward to it. There was no warning it would be replaced by a stupid reality show. I don't understand.

And CBS--since I have the space--Don't cancel Medium. But if you must, let the writers give the viewers closure with the plot and characters. Don't just end it.

If I am going to spend money to watch TV, I expect real TV, not reality TV. Otherwise, I'll quit watching.
