VIDEO: Michael Vick Talks to 60 Minutes
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, CBS, News, Video
He’s served time behind bars and been forced to declare bankruptcy—but has Michael Vick paid enough for his involvement in the dogfighting ring?
In an interview to air this weekend, the new Philadelphia Eagle will plead his case and explain why he should be allowed a second chance. (The NFL is only allowing the quarterback to participate on a conditional basis right now.) Despite his eagerness to return to the game, Vick tells CBS Sports’ James Brown that he laments his inexcusable actions more than his lost career. “I mean, football don’t even matter,” Michael claims. (What a crock of…)
The entire interview will air on 60 Minutes this Sunday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

(You can view TV Envy’s Midseason Programming Schedule here.)
MONDAY 2/2)
- Chuck (NBC, 8pm): “In a 3-D edition, global rock star Tyler Martin (Dominic Monaghan) is marked for murder, so the agents kidnap the musician to discover who’s behind the deadly plot.” Unfortunately, they don’t understand his “My-plane-crashed-on-an-island-and-there-were-these-Others” story either.
- Heroes (NBC, 9pm): “The newly powerless Hiro resolves to help Ando become a true superhero.” Sorry, Suresh. You’re stuck with creating powers for yourself.
- Medium (NBC, 10pm): Season premiere. “Daughter Bridgette lands in trouble at school for drawing nude pictures of her art teacher.” She earned an “A” for technique, but an “F” for accuracy.
- For the Love of Ray J (VH1, 10:30pm): Series premiere. “The actor, singer-songwriter and brother of Brandy moves 14 beautiful women into his mansion and starts his search for love.” If Kim Kardashian can get a reality show, I guess her sex tape partner should get one too.

Captain Sullenberger to Visit CBS Programs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Prime Time, Talk Shows, CBS
UPDATE: CBS’ The Early Show will also devote its entire broadcast on Monday to the Hudson River landing.
After weeks of minimal public appearances, Capt. Chelsey Sullenberger is ready to tell his story.
The heroic pilot of Flight 1549 will have his first sit-down chat with Katie Couric on Sunday, February 8th. Although he was once scheduled to speak with Matt Lauer about that Hudson River landing, CBS somehow managed to steal that exclusive right out from under NBC’s foot.
Two days after that 60 Minutes interview, “Sully,” along with the rest of his US Airways crew, will hit up the Late Show with David Letterman.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Award Shows, Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Reality, Specials, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, The CW, 24, Desperate Housewives, Ratings
Despite the glitz and glamour of the 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards, the telecast wasn’t a big draw. This year’s ceremony actually had its lowest numbers of its 13-year NBC history. This allowed CBS, boosted by an earlier Steelers/Charges game, to take the night in the viewers and demos.
8pm
- Approximately 14.6 million saw Slumdog Millionaire take top prize at the 2009 Golden Globe Awards (4.8/11 in 18-49).
- 60 Minutes (4.0/9) reported to 13.7 million.
- 24‘s adult demo numbers (12.5 million, 4.2/9) were the smallest ever for a series premiere.
- Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (10.3 million, 3.4/8) was off by 700,000.
- CW‘s airing of Carrie (0.5/1) scared up 1.4 million.

Nearly two weeks after the election, President-elect Barack Obama is still drawing record numbers. Last night’s interview on 60 Minutes attracted approximately 24.5 million, the show’s best numbers in 9 years.

- The Amazing Race (12.3 million, 3.4/8) was off by 1.8 million.
