That someone is Les Moonves and he's the greatest programmer living today so shut your mouth. I don't even watch anything on CBS but I greatly admire the empire he's built. I don't know who was running CBS before him but dear God they ran out of steam in the early '90s. Ever look at the schedule he inherited during his first year, the fall season of 1995? Remember New York News, Courthouse, Dweebs, Central Park West, Almost Perfect, If Not For You, Bless This House? Holy crap was that a bad schedule.
Has anyone here read Desperate Networks? It's full of all kinds of network exec crap and cool stories and such.
