CBS is making a big swap to its Friday night line-up. The network is replacing tonight’s episodes of MacGyver and Magnum PI with a reairing of the interview special, Oprah with Meghan and Harry. Blue Bloods will be replaced by a rerun of Clarice.
The Sunday night airing of the special drew 17.8 million viewers. Through Monday, the special has been seen by more than 49.1 million viewers worldwide and continues to grow thanks to streaming and delayed viewing.
The next new episodes of MacGyver, Magnum PI, and Blue Bloods are expected to air March 26th. The network airs NCAA Basketball on March 19th.
What do you think? Did you watch the interview special when it originally aired on CBS? Do you plan to watch the special second airing tonight?
Ridiculous! Can’t believe they bumped Blue Bloods for a repeat of the royal couple interview! People who wanted to see it saw it already. What a disappointment . CBS definitely made a mistake .
I agree!!
This has got to be one of the silliest programming efforts ever….
The interview already aired.
It has been available On Demand for a week.
I would suspect the programming department simply and collectively lost their minds….
Living in England as a Citizen not Subject, I have not been interested in the Royal’s since Diana Spencer.
CBS constantly passes off its viewers as idiots.
I’ll be doing something else.
Being a person of colour, I have ditched the Arrowverse, NCIS spin-offs and any show not displaying social distancing, and I show no interest in elections. Soccer is off the menu too, for spitting in all directions.
We’re in a pandemic folks, squabble away because I am not tuning in.
If NCIS or Seal Team gets canned, it’ll be goodbye CBS.
Because we wanna watch this train wreck all over again…why?
CBS was supposed to air the episode of Clarice from Thurs night, that Biden messed up, but instead showed the pilot! What’s up with CBS?
I watched the Harry and Meghan special when it originally aired. While I only watch Blue Bloods on Friday night I feel this was as waste move for CBS. Most everything that has been talked about has been addressed by the Brits. I too feel like people perceive moments in time differently and I believe this to be the case. News people thrive on stiring up crap. H and M moved to the US. They need to move on. You wanted out, your out. Let it go.
Why ???? Just why ???? Give me my Blue Bloods please ..for 2 people who wanted to escape the media frenzy and the so called hate ..why are they picture perfect WITH Oprah,their neighbor and friend complaining AGAIN ????? POOR POOR US with all the $$ from daddy ,a huge home … Do what Harry wants disappear from the media and be a family!!!! Really Meghan ,the minute we forget about you guys ( i did the minute the complaints started when she didn’t outshine Princess Kate ) AGAIN !! you got what you wanted and THEN started again Hollywood….perfect… Read more »
I didn’t watch it. It doesn’t affect me or my country why do i need to know private stuff about these people. Im old tv is all i have and this messed up my Friday routine
This is bs. Why do we want to swap our regular shows with a rerun. You do this too often.
Absolutely not! Megs is excellent at directing all attention towards herself!
It’s clear where CBS’s priorities lie; and that’s definitely NOT with their viewers! Thankfully I’m not forced to sit & watch the Royal Brats! I watched 3 episodes of BB season #3.
I look forward to my Friday night Magnum PI and Blue Bloods after a hard week and CBS has to put OW and the lousy royals. Who cares. MM didn’t like being told what to do so she moved back to US. Get a life and even Canada didn’t want them. They think they were abused and why are people feeling sorry for them, I don’t understand. BOO Hoo. Leave Friday nights alone.
Who cares about spoiled Harry and Megan. Wanted to relax and watch Blue Bloods. So disappointed.
Really bad decision! (I’m being nice)
I hope your rating tank!
I didn’t watch the airing the first time why the second. Besides since the first one everytime you watched any news, there was a report on the Oprah interview. Could not escape the interview.
