Please just start it at 8pm


It is ridiculous about the bleed over of football. I'm glad that it moved 30 minutes later, but just bite the bullet and do an hour please.

It makes it a huge pain.

I totally agree. While I love the NFL, why can't they just plan a little better? When 60 Minutes gets pushed back, it also pushes back all of the shows for the night. Why would they plan for only three hours when they show all of the CBS games until they're finished? Build in 3 and a half hours, and do post-game recaps until 60 Minutes is slated to start.

You do understand that the purpose of a network is to make money, right? A post game in between would cause a lot of viewers to turn the TV off and not end up watching the prime time programming.
