CBS to Push Sunday Slate Back 30 Minutes on Days of NFL Doubleheaders

Published by Posted on

CBS is trying out a new play it hopes will ease primetime confusion — and save fans of shows such as The Good Wife and The Mentalist much frustration! — on the days the network hosts NFL doubleheaders. On Sundays featuring back-to-back afternoon football games, CBS will push back its entire primetime lineup half an hour in the Eastern and Central time zones. That means 60 Minutes will begin at 7:30/6:30c, leading into Big Brother/The Amazing Race at 8:30. The Good Wife follows at 9:30, and the relocated The Mentalist closes the night at 10:30. Though DVRs and on-screen cable guides will automatically pick up on the shifts, the affected Sundays are as follows: Sept. 16 and 23; Oct. 7 and 21; Nov. 4 and 18; and Dec. 2, 16 and 30. Also to be noted: Primetime start times in Mountain and Pacific time zones will not change.The move is in response to doubleheader day overages – which traditionally make it difficult for fans to know exactly when primetime shows will begin – as well as NFL’s recently announced kickoff time change, which pushes everything back 10 minutes more. It was previously confirmed that The Mentalist, which was at risk of airing at godknowswhen o’clock, will make full episodes available online the next day. Fans of CBS’ Sunday evening programs can sign up for schedule alerts via email, text and social media at www.cbs.com/eye-lerts.

I've received today Robin's answer to the Fans Book I've sent her last February! And she also included a special gift with the message, the cross chain Lisbon used to wear during Season 1! I can't express how awesome that is, it's like holding the most wonderful treasure in my hands! I will not thank Robin enough for her sweet message, and for the wonderful gift. You are awesome Robin!! I hope Robin's wrist will heal very soon, and I appreciate even more that she took time to write something despite that! Get well soon Robin! ♥ The Message: "Maria, Thank you for the beautiful book! My wrist is broken so I cannot write much. I have procured Lisbon's cross from season 1 for you as a token of my appreciation. Lots of love! xx Robin."

New Interview: Q&A with Robin Tunney

New Interview with Robin, released by Anthem Magazine A gaggle of teens with the “coolest job in the world”—hawking music while listening to same—are faced with the impending sale of their beloved record store to a big and shiny tunes chain. Four teenage girls at a Catholic prep school form a coven of witches to strike back at their peers and use their newfound sorcery for personal gain. At the end of the second millennium, Satan visits New York City in search of a bride to bear the Antichrist—over Arnold Schwarzenegger’s dead body. The connecting thread between Empire Records, The Craft, and End of Days is of course Robin Tunney, who hit it big in the late ‘90s and has grown to show as much longevity in her career as the select films from her body of work—cult phenoms, if not cultural touchstones by some measure. Now most widely recognized for her seven-year tenure on The Mentalist, which ended its run in 2015, the actress is teaming up with Nicolas Cage in Tim Hunter’s Looki
