Our best local news, [KDKA](http://kdka.com/), is the local CBS affiliate. That’s usually where I watch the Steelers and Penguins games. (I hate to confess that I really don’t watch prime-time anymore. And I’m not bragging, or being a snob about those who do, don’t worry.) ---

I know there are obviously a lot of people out there who watch CBS, but the sitcoms I’ve seen are mediocre, police procedurals bore me, and their reality shows I find interchangably redundant. So who watches CBS? My mom. But not me. ---

The Late, Late, Show with Craig Ferguson. I think it’s the only thing I watch on CBS. ---

I regularly watch 2.5 Men and Big Bang. I couldn’t tell you about anything else, other than I’ve occasionally seen Letterman and it’s okay. ---

They’ve been giving Simon Baker work for a while, & he’s actually got a show that’s fun to watch now: _The Mentalist._ _How I Met Your Mother_ started pretty strong. And they have _60 Minutes_, which is an institution. I actually rather like CBS. And they have Craig Ferguson. ---

I watch CSI, Survivor, and NCIS on CBS. I did watch The Unit, until they cancelled it. ---

> [@handsomeharry](#): > > Nah, I’m 52 and I watch CBS. > > What? Heh. Hi, Harry. I’m 52 as well, and like a lot of people who posted here I watch _The Big Bang Theory_ and _How I Met Your Mother._ I also watch _Criminal Minds._ That’s about it for CBS and, truth be told, all network TV except for \*Lost \*on ABC and a scattered _L&O_ on NBC. Oh, and _Bones_ once in a while, which I **think** is on Fox. ---

My wife and I have a Sunday morning ritual in which we Tivo _CBS Sunday Morning_ (which is on at 6:30 am Sunday morning) and watch it together while having breakfast. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-watches-cbs/509839.md?page=2)
