While airing a Tim Tebow-starring anti-abortion ad, CBS has rejected Mancrunch.com's spot.
Super Bowl XLIV is just around the corner and suddenly memories of Janet Jackson's Super Bowl nipple slip and Prince's phallic guitar posturing seem like good, old-fashioned American entertainment. This year the great Super Bowl ads race has turned political in a heated face-off of right- and left-wing media.
CBS has given the go-ahead to air an ad starring Tim Tebow for conservative Christian group Focus on the Family. (Tim is the soon-to-be-pro, former star college QB for the University of Florida Gators and the 2007 Heisman Trophy recipient.) Details of the content of the ad have not been officially … Read More
A review of "The Good Wife," a new TV drama on CBS.
The Good Wife premiered last night on CBS, and we were finally able to see what all those billboards, magazine and subway ads were all about. Turns out the show isn't half bad.
As advertised, the show is about Alicia Florrick, the wife (Julianna Margulies) of corrupt politician Peter Florrick (Mr. Big… I mean, Chris Noth). The opening scene shows the bad boy admitting his mistakes and apologizing at a press conference. As he finishes his speech his wife reaches for his hand. Afterwards, away from the cameras, she slaps him.
Fast forward six months, and Mr. Corruption is in jail, so … Read More

A doctor says that female drunk driving is SATC's fault. What else can be blamed on the show?
Apparently, drunk driving has historically been a thing only guys did. But apparently, since 1998, women have started to drive on the sauce as well. And apparently, this can be blamed quite specifically on Sex and the City.
At least, that's what the CBS Early Show is telling us.
In a recent health segment, the popular morning program explained that the increase in female drunk driving accidents and arrests has nothing to do with the growing acceptance of doing LOTS of things while driving (including texting and surfing the web), the slap-on-the-wrist punishments received by drunk-driving celebrities, or the … Read More

Apologizing and empathy could have saved Barney, Russell and Charlie some hard times.
Sorry, I can't promise it won't happen again, I recognize that it upsets you, but I'm still stuck CBS's decision to run three primetime sit-coms on Monday evening revolving around the consequences of treating women shabbily. Barney, Charlie and Russell (the fun-loving womanizers from How I Met Your Mother, Two And A Half Men and Rules Of Engagement, respectively, played by Neil Patrick Harris, Charlies Sheen and David Spade, also respectively) were eyeball-to-eyeball (figuratively) with a Don Juan's scariest adversary*: the wrong, pissed-off woman. (I'm all out of love for the term "scorned woman" at the moment; let's … Read More
Three CBS sit-coms in one prime-time featured karmic implications of one-night stands.
There was a pretty out-wait for it-standing episode of How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) on the television last evening (it was a rerun, episode # 58, Season 3, "The Bracket"). At any rate, Barney (played by Neil Patrick Harris (NPH)) has a problem with a jilted lover busting up his game (not his chifarobe) and the gang sets out to find out who it is using an NCAA Tournament Bracket. As usual, hilarity ensues.
Although Barney doesn't learn the identity of this lady (that happens in episode #63, Season 3, "Everything Must Go"), he does eventually … Read More
