Now I can't think of anything he does for CBS but is he the Masked Singer host so it might move to that next.

the show he hosted aired on a viacom owned network (ie, vh1, MTV, BET, Nickelodeon, etc. the show aired on MTV)

 

and here's his response

I wonder who will take over the masked singer if FOX fires him, I'm guessing they'll replace him with someone who has competed on the show (that's what they did with Dancing with the stars, speaking of which )

I tried watching it & I turned it off after a few minutes. Why was it called Perry Mason?  The reboot has nothing to do with the old show that I remember watching with my family as a kid. (We only had one black & white television with only 3 channels). The characters aren't the same. The old show was based in the 50's & 60's because it was made in the 50's & 60's. They have it set in the 30's & 40's. I'm sure Perry Mason was practicing law in the 1930's but he'd have been fresh out of law school. The show's name is like click bait on social media. The headline grabs you but after that? Not much.

As an avid cable-cutter myself, I would just like to add my two cents that TVO is a not for profit run out of Ontario that often has pretty decent thought-provoking documentaries. It's free to use, and has a lot of it is Canadian content. They even have some National Geographic documentaries!

well today was supposed to be the day that the olympics were supposed to start (hey don't hate the games, hate the corruption) and since that won't be happening til (hopefully) next  year, I decided to do the next best thing......revisit Scooby's All-star Laff-a-lympics. Yeah before Avengers Infinity Endgame this was the most ambitious crossover in history, popular characters, forgotten characters, and recycling old or unused designs because there weren't any major bad guys in the Hanna Barbera verse aside from **** Dasterdly (because he wasn't originally made for Wacky Races, he was actually meant for a game show that ultimately did not get picked up...and thus wacky races was born

 

I've only watched two episodes so far, so I can't have a final say about whether it holds up or not, I hadn't seen it since Vancouver 2010 when Teletoon Retro picked up the show for February 2010

Been watching the canceled SyFy show "Vagrant Queen."

it's a goofy lighthearted super derivative space opera made out of bits of Star Wars and Farscape and Buck Rogers ... but the Buck Rogers character is from Winnipeg, his ship is the called the Winnipeg or "peggy", the ship's robot is "Winnie B"  and there's at least a couple of times when he goes on about the Bombers rule and the Roughriders suck.

It's an okay show, nothing super special and probably too lighthearted for the people here.  Can see why it was cancelled but the Winnipeg stuff was fun.
