I don't think the affils would stay on board if they keep airing repeats when everybody has been told Barker has retired. Unlike years past, even Joe Schmoe would know it's a rerun. I think CBS might go for a talk-service show aimed at women to cut into the View, or maybe put in repeats of current prime-time procedurals or sitcoms until a new TPIR host is found.

Hope not. Because if much time goes by, that program clicks and the demo is a desirable one, the eagerness to find a host for TPiR and get the show back into production might not be as strong.

Well Bob has said at tapings that for sure reruns will continue until at least November now. And to put this back on topic, Matt, if you don't get there til 6pm or later, you might as well not go. At best you'll get a standby arrival slip and very few if any of those will be let in.

I would get there sooner, but my plane arrives in LA a little after 6pm.[/quote]

You show up next Tuesday at 6 PM, you aren't gettin' in.

Maybe I misread, but I believe he has regular tickets. I think he'll be fine, if I understand the procedure and his post correctly.

and get dinner before heading out. Here's hoping there won't be 300+ people there by the time we arrive.

Forget dinner. Doesn't CBS have some kind of concession stand on the premises, where you can buy chips/sandwiches, etc? If not, pack a sandwich.

Whether Matt has regular tickets or not, the possibility exists that there will already be more than 300 people with tickets in line by the time he gets there.

If I had those tickets, I'd be in line this weekend.
Those guys that run the bagel shop across the street are gonna be bummin' once June 6th passes.

I read in both Bagelcasting and Cable and Steve Beverly's LoxWatch.dom that the bagel guy is retiring too. Apparently corporate wants to open a tofu roll shop, mainly for the cross-promotion opportunities, but it blew the health inspection. Besides, none of us would support tofu anyhow.

(Oh, and the corporate CEO? sleeping with alfalfa sprouts. They work with the tofu roll.)

I read on TheSmokingLox.com that the bagel guy was forced out because he was prepared to testify where a producer was dunkin' his donut.

There was one when I went in 2001, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't one on CBS property when I went this past summer.

There's a 24/7 Exxon at the corner of Fairfax and Beverly, a two-minute walk from the line.

There is an Exxon station right down the street (visible from TV City) that is useful for snacks and bathroom facilities with purchase.

That has got to be the only Exxon station in the world that makes more money selling snacks than gas.

Naw. There's a gas station right across the street from Safeco Field with a mini-mart and Taco Hell Express in it.
