good name
That one would have been good for me. My mother's name is Josephine.
anyone cbs difficult head longer mutual news people year
This has been a very difficult year for CBS News, for Andrew, for other people in CBS News. I think it was a mutual decision. Andrew's been head of CBS News for a long time, longer than anyone else in many years. It was just time.

In that original pilot, we basically shot what he wrote.
ghosts talking younger
I think talking to ghosts may skew younger than talking to God,
advertising

We realize that if we live in a world that depends totally on CBS.com, we'd be dead.
audiences chance characters creative episodes lead nervous people respond strength understand unhappy work
I understand why creative people like dark, but American audiences don't like dark. They like story. They do not respond to nervous breakdowns and unhappy episodes that lead nowhere. They like their characters to be a part of the action. They like strength, not weakness, a chance to work out any dilemma.
aspect coming pro public throughout
By the same token, I think news has more and more of a pro bono aspect to all the networks. When we do our election coverages throughout this coming year, it's not a money-maker for us. It is more of a public service situation.
