CBS has found a replacement for "As The World Turns"

The outgoing daytime soap will be replaced by a new talk show hosted by Julie Chen, with Sara Gilbert, Leah Remini, and Sharon Osbourne rounding up the panel. The new show would be based over at CBS Television City Studios in L.A., and it won't make its debut once ATWT leaves daytime on September 17th; It will however premiere on Monday, October 4th. CBS will fill the void with TPIR reruns for the time being.
 
Don't forget NBC's version called, The Other Half. A men's version of The View with Dick Clark, Mario Lopez, Danny Bonduce and one other dude. That didn't last long.

I believe that one other dude happens to be Dr. Jan Adams, A Beverly Hills-based African-American cosmetic surgeon whose operation on Donda West, Mother of R&B Singer/Rapper Kanye West was unsuccessful and Donda was pronounced dead after the operation. Dr. Adams was sued many months later, and I really do believe it was in the news.
 
no.....really? Julie Chen getting a high-profile project at CBS? Who would have expected THAT? ::)
 
The Show, with a working title called "The Site" will also have Holly Robinson-Peete, The wife of former USC quarterback Rodney Peete; and Melissa Jaret Winokoar, in addition to Chen, Gilbert, Remini, & Osbourne. With duties hosting BOTH Big Brother & The Early Show, The Los Angeles-Based Chen will be the leaving the latter at the end of August. Chenbot really does have a full plate in front of her.
 
I'm surprised they haven't turned over the slot to the local stations so they can put on a courtroom show. What daytime tv needs today is more courtroom shows!

What a contrived title. It clearly tells you that they're ripping off "The View," and they make no bones about it whatsoever. In fact, "The Site" was the name of a now-defunct series on MSNBC hosted by now-CNN-personality Soledad O'Brien. Great choice. Good luck with that!

or CBS could produce one with Julie Chen as the judge?

Leah Remini's voice still makes me want to go out and by a can of that
spray foam insulation and spray it into my ears.

Funny. That paints an amusing mental picture. But I don't recall that Remini's voice was bad. Your're probably thinking of the bitchy wife character she played on King of Queeens - she definitely ratcheted up the volume and her natural Brooklyn accent. But I suspect she'll tone it down for a talk show.

Whether or not daytime TV viewers will want to watch another version of The View is another matter.

The appeal often is the celebrity guests. With taping taking place on the west coast, the pool is far greater than in New York City.
 
Hey Sawty, The unnamed CBS daytime talk show will be seen at ATWT's current time slot at 1PM Central/2PM East over most CBS stations.
 
I wonder if we'll begin to see more flexibility in scheduling with this replacement (for instance, would CBS object if a station slid this new venture to 3 and moved Deal earlier in the day (for those airing Deal at 3 now)? Should be interesting to see how it plays out.

Deal or No Deal is available at both 10am and 3pm in the east. Stations may air that morning run if they choose.

As the World Turns runs at 2pm in the east and at 4PM edt/1PM pdt. If successful, I could see stations taking the west coast feed of the new show and airing it as a lead-in to the afternoon news block once Oprah departs.
 
It's "Let's Make A Deal" and not "Deal Or No Deal" that
airs on CBS at either 10 AM or 3 PM. Putting a talk show
at 2 (ET) may entice stations now airing "Deal" at 3 to
move it to 10. The reason: program flow. Consider:
if the affiliate runs "Deal" at 3, the schedule will look like
this (times are Eastern):

11 AM Price Is Right (game)
12 N (Local)
12:30 Young And The Restless (soap)
1:30 Bold And The Beautiful (soap)
2 PM The Site (talk)
3 PM Let's Make A Deal (game)

But if "Deal" airs at 10, the schedule looks like this:

10 AM Let's Make A Deal (game)
11 AM Price Is Right (game)
12 N (Local)
12:30 Young And The Restless (soap)
1:30 Bold And The Beautiful (soap)
2 PM The Site (talk)
and more talk shows may follow from 3 to the start
of local news (usually 5 PM)

I like the program flow that results from having "Deal" at 10,
always thought it made more sense than having "Guiding Light"
at 10, and I'd like to see more stations airing "Deal" at 10.
There is one problem: the general manager of CBS affiliate WFMY
Greensboro, NC, which carries "Deal" at 3, told me that if the station
moves the show and the ratings go down, the station has to pay CBS
a penalty per point lost. That might discourage stations from moving
"Deal" to 10. It might also discourage stations from airing "The Site"
at 4, especially as long as Oprah is on the ABC or NBC affiliate, or even
after she's gone.
 
Sometimes "LMAD" is usually seen at 9:00AM in selected areas-primariily on the East Coast. Here in Houston, "LMAD" is seen at 2:00PM CT And "Deal or No Deal" is an intellectual property of NBC-which is produced by Endemol, and it was shown on MyTV. And therefore, NBC stopped production on the syndicated version of "DOND".
