The real question is what would CBS do to fill in four hours of prime time sweep weeks programming if they had to dump "The Reagans" at the last minute.

Maybe they could re-air the French film about 9-11. Or maybe have Leslie Stahl hosting a documentary portraying in detail how long it takes for CBS makeup artists to make Mike Wallace appear lifelike. Perhaps use snippets of "The Reagans" as a special episode of "Cold Case: CSI". Maybe CBS News can air a Special Report: "We Think Jesus Was Gay" to counterprogram ABC's Special Report "We Think Jesus Married Mary Magdalene".

They could absorb the $9 million loss (after all, they already lose their shirts covering the National Football League), but losing the ad revenue from four hours of bad programming would be even worse.

Viacom not only owns Showtime but they also own MTV. Expect this turkey to be show up on that channel if Showtime passes.

LOL!! Decisions, decisions--what's a left-wing biased tv station to do when their covers are pulled?

Viacom also owns VH1...you should see how they chop up Reagan on the "I love the 80's" flashback/nostalgia shows.

The bias is extraordinary.

Good day for The People
Bad day for the Dem goons at CBS!

MTV plays to the younger generation.

They wouldn't want this stinkbomb either.
