Blockbuster FREE CBS fall preview DVD
I received a mailer yesterday from Blockbuster that included a page about a FREE CBS fall preview dvd available at stores starting Sept. 16th, 2003.

Ah remember the good old days of TV (as in back in the 70s and 80s) when premere week used to be a big deal? The Saturday Morning caroon show on the friday before was the highlight of the fall, and the networks rolling out the new shows used to mean something. Now it's just trickeled out over 6 weeks as the losers fall by the wayside faster than lemmings falling off a wall.

Of course, if you were like me, you watched Sat morn cartoons as much for the toy commercials as the actual cartoons! As a kid growing up in the late 70's - early 80's, it was all about the Star Wars toys, and they had the coolest commercials!

They are the #1 network. Ever hear of CSI? Or Survivor?

I personally watch just one hour a week... CSI. But I wouldn't even list that among my favorite shows. I enjoy it every week, but won't cry too hard whenever it leaves the airwaves...

I'll pick up the free fall preview disc just like I did last year, but based on the link that bboisvert provided, absolutely none of these shows sounds appealing. Even the David E. Kelley production, "The Brotherhood of Poland, N.H.," sounds rather uninteresting. There's not a single show on CBS that I watch currently or can remember viewing in recent years.
By the way, my local Blockbuster has the "24" free preview DVD with the first two episodes of season two. You might want to check BBV if you're having trouble locating the disc elsewhere.

Blockbuster did this last year too. They spent a lot of time promoting CSI Miami. Personally, I'd like all the networks to do this. It will help me decide if I'm going to get into any new shows in the fall season.

I quit watching TV altogether when the onscreen logo nonsense started. I don't care how good the show is, I simply can't enjoy it with the logo staring me in the face.

If you "come back" to TV you'll get to enjoy annoying bottom third ads as well that play DURING your favorite shows.

Is this the same CBS disc that was in copies of Entertainment Weekly that were sent out to subscribers this past week?

I don't know of any other network doing this on DVD.
And yes, those days of waiting for the (old) Fall Preview TV Guide and the start of the season beginning with Saturday morning cartoons were the days. Things just aren't the same.
