Big Brother is CBS's official summer filler show... because of it's demanding schedule (requiring multiple airings per week), it is impractical to air it durning the regular season, but it is helpful to air it during the summer (when it can take the place of reruns).CBS has not yet announced if there will be a third season of BB, but at the end of last season, the CBS executives said that they were pleased with the results, and that a third season for the summer of 2002 would be probable.
You never know what might be up my sleeeve...
I just read a mention of this last week:http://tv.zap2it.com/news/tvnewsdaily.html?23024
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Saying that CBS was "pleased with the results" of last summer's "Big Brother 2," CBS' President Les Moonves says the network is in discussions to bring back the reality series for a third time this summer.
Also in the rudimentary stages is a possible spin-off of CBS' hit drama "CSI."
