Have you heard about that reality TV show on CBS this summer called “Pirate Master“? Well you might have heard about it but I bet you haven’t been watching it. Not many people are watching it. But, TW and I were. We weren’t loving it but we were watching it every single Thursday night at 8pm. And then last week it was on at a different time, which was frustrating but we still watched it. Now, we don’t watch it. We’ve been cut adrift by CBS and we didn’t even have a chance to plead our case or ask for mutiny!
You see, CBS has moved Pirate Master to Tuesday night at 10pm. I discovered this completely by accident last night, while surfing blogfeeds. The folks at TV Squad post this thing “What’s on tonight” and I usually don’t bother looking at it because we don’t watch much TV. For some reason, I didn’t scroll past but stopped on that post and when I saw “Pirate Master” on the list I was confused! Had I been working all day on the premise that it was Tuesday, when it fact it was Thursday?
What the hell? Way to confuse me, CBS. And way to lose two viewers of a show that doesn’t have a whole lot of viewers. 10pm is not prime TV watching time for us. No we don’t do Tivo, either. It’s nice that you have the episodes available online but that’s now how I like to watch TV, so I won’t.
Mutiny seems like a good idea right now. Maybe we won’t come back to CBS in the fall for Survivor.
