      - Oh, I read the article. There's nothing in it that "sounds like" Elizabeth said they spoke. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 09:46 7
        
        "Hasselbeck, 32, claimed that she called Andrews Tuesday night to personally apologize after her 5-year-old daughter, Grace, advised her to just... - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:49 3
        
        *dials number to call and apologise/waits patiently/hangs up when there is no answer* - dogbert May 11, 09:50
        
        right. read that. it doesn't say they spoke. (granted, i don't think that's the extent of the comments either, I think Liz is full of the shit.) -- nm - TFox May 11, 09:50 1
        
        "personally" and I saw the same clip pmb mentions on EW or similar. -- nm - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:53

        Thanks! -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 11, 09:48
CBS: Two and a Half Men on life support...Chuck Sheen demands may be too big -- (link) - budice May 11, 09:42 18
- I wonder if that's why they moved Big Bang up to 9pm last week and are running it to help on Wednesdays - Will Hunting May 11, 09:55
- i'm surprised they haven't attempted a post-Sheen spinoff with the other two. -- nm - TFox May 11, 09:52 2
  - I'm not a 100% certain, but I believe that Sheen owns a part of that property -- nm - crash davis May 11, 10:02 1
    - wouldn't Sheen love collecting the money *without* going to work? I bet he would. -- nm - TFox May 11, 10:03
- I wonder if ABC or NBC steps in to make an offer if CBS dumps it. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 09:43 13
  - I dunno if NBC could step in if he's outpricing himself from the show on the #1 network. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 09:44 12
    - yeah but NBC is desperate for shows and I could see them stepping up to get grab it. -- nm - Remlik May 11, 09:46 11
      - They wouldn't they've got their comedy block and it's doing well, I don't thing they're going to mess with that. - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:47 10
        
        the best show in that block, The Office, averages 9 million viewers. "Men" averages 14 million - sherlock homie May 11, 09:49 9
        
        And Medium was a top 20 show before moving to CBS. -- nm - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:54 3
        
        i have no idea what point you are trying to make - sherlock homie May 11, 09:58 2
        
        CBS bought Medium because NBC was dumping a top 20 show. It isn't one on CBS. - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 10:03
        
        I think as the Medium comment indicates, that despite all their protestations, NBC doesn't like large #s of viewers -- nm - crash davis May 11, 10:01
        
        Right; as a pure #'s thing; they'd kill for the show, but I don't know if they would/could pay for it given Sheen's demands. -- nm - Will Hunting May 11, 09:51 4
        
        NBC paid through the nose for Seinfeld, Friends among others. I'd say they'd jump at the chance -- nm - budice May 11, 09:55 3
        
        When you're #1 with all the revenue coming from the show that you know will continue..it's easy to pay. - Will Hunting May 11, 10:01
        
        They just paid Coco and his minions $40mil to go away -- nm - the liioulu without earbuds May 11, 09:58 1
        
        okay, let the grownups talk alone now -- nm - sherlock homie May 11, 09:59

  - she is about 1000 times hotter than Paris Hilton. - groiny May 11, 09:45 9
    - She does pretty good as the spokesperson for Pepsi Max -- (link) - budice May 11, 09:49

        She has a talk show on cable. (Pay attention, Conan. This is your future, sadly.) -- nm - TFox May 11, 10:01
