Furthermore, CBS has a contract with Rather. Were Heaton to do this, Rather could probably sue her for tortious interference with contract.
Wally is correct. Just stop watching CBS shows that annoy you.
In fact, I think the fat lady has already sung for CBS, etc. Look at the fact that FOX news had better ratings than all the networks during the GOP convention...
I said strike -- not quit. The finale year is very important. I'm sure they want her to close out the series. Yes, it would be a financial/career risk for Heaton, which is why I don't expect her to do it.
Refusing to watch CBS will only have an impact if there is a stark and sharp drop-off and that just isn't going to happen.
