    Katie, ABC does wayy more spinning in their press releases than CBS. I cant wait to see ABCs press release. I know there will be one. The Middle was the #1 scripted show in its timeslot. Now Im dying to see how they spin Cougar Towns horrific numbers.

  5. rob, Katie, All, Robert has me pegged as being a raving lunatic (rightly so!) about network PR showing up in the entertainment press as “news”, but I don’t begrudge the network PR staffs their opportunity to spin in a press release. In fact, I often appreciate their inventiveness!

    Bill I hear you. I love when you post these. They are comical and inventive. But Marketing Spin typically is.

    Oh and Rob, IA, ABC is the MASTER of spin with these. CBS, NBC, and Fox need to learn from them. Must be all those geniuses they inherited from Disney Corp.

  20. The Bridge debuts with a 2 hour pilot tomorrow night on CTV HD. Living in Canada is good for something at least. Without even seeing it I doubt CBS will ever have room for it, but I’m looking forward to it nonetheless.
