I love the program SHMT! However I was looking through the new tv guide and saw something most distressing. You are cancelling So Help Me Todd. For me, there seems to be only a few shows worth watching and that is one. So I hope that I am wrong about the show being cancelled and if I am not, I hope you will reconsider and keep the show on the air. Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
J H

Am 100% annoyed! We have Directv who hasn't been able to resolve a dispute with CBS/Tegnet for weeks, so the network is off air. Adding to that, I have a PAID Paramount+ subscription and cannot live stream the Survivor 45 finale tonight on TV, computer or iPhone. Sitting here in silence and hope I don't see any spoilers until CBS and Paramount+ get their acts together. What is up with the CBS money hound of a network? I'm paying twice and not watching our family favorite show. What the heck!

If I wanted to watch the same tornado coverage repeating itself (trying to make the same news seem new,) I would have turned in the weather channel. I turned on CBS to watch Blue Bloods, but instead I got CBS repeating the same weather report of a tornado for an hour. I even tried signing into Blue Bloods on the TV, which said it was in progress, and it took me straight to the same boring weather report. I can understand warning people about a tornado, and it's expected path, but to spend an hour on it, is ridiculous, pedantic and insulting to people's intelligence. I also tried signing into Blue Bloods on my phone, which took me to—you guessed it, the same weather report! Oh joy I get to continue to be irritated and bored further until the hour is up, and not be able to watch Blue Bloods after it's month + long hiatus and its promised return for March 31st, for at least another 2 days when it (hopefully actually works,) shows up on the site to watch after its promised but yet not airing. I'm only leaving a star because it's forcing me to. I'd also like to add that when I am able to sign into the site, it lags a lot, way too much, yet all my other channels and sites work just fine, but clearly CBS finds that too much of bother to maintain, because it's more important to them to grasp at funds by airing the same weather for the same area for an HOUR?!

Worst granmys yet
February 7, 2023

I thought last year's Grammy was the worst but they outdid themselves this year last year. I watched it for about 20 minutes this year five the host is a moron, which is why he doesn't have his own show anymore and there are more Black people on this than white people, what's the deal? Wasn't that the opposite complaint before now we are overrun

Fire them
October 15, 2022

I thought color commentators were supposed to be unbiased while calling games. These 2 that called bama and Tennessee game needs to be fired or suspended. The praised hooker Tennessee qb. Sounds like they graduated from Tennessee. CBS needs unbiased calling on CBS not graduates of the opposing team. They both needs fired or suspended from calling any more football games.

INTERRUPTIONS!
December 1, 2021

I watch CBS, then get interrupted by 12 minute reports by Ahmaud Arbery's death! This is so annoying, it happens very often, and they are talking about old news from over a year ago. I think it should be wrong for me to get interruptions when watching TV. I think there should be live coverage on another channel because this is nonsense and it keeps happening!

Together with MSNBC, CNN, and NBC, CBS is a terrific broadcast news organization. It holds our wonderul el presidente tRUMP, in line, even though trump, except of course FOX Noise, even thought the Donald says it is all fake news. What a joke!

CBS subscription charges
September 28, 2019

I will NOT remove my ad block-it has been on my laptop since 2016 & I have NEVER had to remove the ad block before. I was told by both Maya & Hamilton that I must remove it to watch their programs now. Also, I am paying extra for no ads/no promotional interruptions- but am now told that there will be interruptions in specific programs to push newer programming. They will NOT refund my money even thought I just signed up at 10:04am today 9-28-19. I have been charged $9.99 at that time for October viewing even though I have NOT even been able to watch any programs at all. THIS IS A RIPOFF & I WILL STOP WATCHING CBS ENTIRELY--I CAN LIVE WITHOUT YOUR STUPID PROGRAMS & DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICES. Done at 6:15pm CDT 9-28-19. I have Netflix, Hulu, Britbox & Acorn & NONE of them make me remove the ad block. THIS COMPANY IS A RIPOFF-THEY DON'T CARE IF THEIR CUSTOMER/VIEWERS ARE FED UP. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THESE THEIVES!

Not a Fan
November 17, 2018

I am really not crazy about them. I only subscribe while new Star Trek Discovery episodes are coming out. Then I unsubscribe until more become available. I feel held hostage by them. I don't like the interface, and I do not care for 95% of the garbage they provide. The only reason I ever give them any money at all is to support the production of new Star Trek. And I would rather be able to just buy individual episodes of it, as they come out, so that I can make it clear THAT is what I am paying for.

If it wasn't for Colbert and Star Trek Discovery, I would not subscribe. It's way over priced for a single non premium network. To top it off, the content still has commercials.
