Too bad for the networks that scripted television is better experienced via DVR or the Internet. all this proves is that some events are better live and in hd. commercials be damned.

TV executives should think about programming. IMO what the Olympics prove is that when there is something worth watching people can find the TV changer and tune in. When the content is not there the viewers turn away. This will become more apparent as our options improve with the internet and time shifting grows from a fad into fashion. CBS is filled with the same type of shows. If you like them you can see them over and over, just with a different cast. If you like lots of police procedurals, sitcoms and reality shows you watch CBS. Otherwise keep clicking. I think Mr. Moonves missed the point. TV executives should think about programming.

I think it may be due to the upgraded Disqus plugin we installed last week actually somehow messing with our RSS feed (long story). Disqus has issued another upgrade and I need to install it and see if that clears it up. Sorry for the annoyance.<br><br>Robert John, sorry about that — I am seeing the same thing, too in GReader.
