Les Moonves Donates Testicles to Reagan Presidential Library
Los Angeles, CA | Commemorating CBS's 75th Anniversary, network president and CEO Les Moonves has announced a generous bequest to the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California.
The announcement came only hours after Moonves pulled a broadcast of The Reagans from the November schedule after family, friends and supporters of the Reagans insisted it did not present a balanced portrayal of the former First Family - despite the fact that none of them had actually seen the film.
A "corrected" version of the four-hour miniseries, directed by Reagan's son Michael and based on a screenplay by Oliver North, will begin production later this week.
The Republican National Committee has now taken charge of the CBS's programming department and announced the first of many planned changes.
For the November sweeps week schedule Everybody Loves Raymond will be replaced by Everybody Loves Reagan and a retooled Becker will return as Gipper. CSI: Miami and Survivor: Pearl Islands will be pre-empted by two variety specials called Tear Down This Wall and There You Go Again.
