Not many details. Might need to go to an entertainment site to get the down low on this!

Im curious how much the online junkies who were complaining reflected real life society?(the article mentioned folks bitching about the show online, like was done here) Im also curious how much, if any, viewership/revenue was lost due to the leak. I'm also curious if the twitter leak reminded some folks the show was on and drew any viewers who may have not been tuned in yet? I personally had gotten distracted and this board reminded me to tune in after the show had started.

I've not yet convinced myself CBS has suffered as much "damage" from the leak as say Erin Andrews or Marilyn Manson/Ozzy/etc have from their ordeals, lol. If we're getting theoretical, why not do it it big?

Here's an idea for CBS, don't have a 2 hour show that is 60% commercials, 35% Charles Barkley mumbling nonsense about college basketball teams he hasn't seen and 5% showing matchups.

One day, people will look at this post to understand why ghazi replaced gate in the lexicon.
