CBS wants more Britney Spears…

By fred | July 24, 2008

…or something.

Remember that whole mess with How I Met Your Mother still awaiting to get renewed, and then having Britney Spears to guest in not one but two episodes of the show ?? Yeah, it was horrible and some still have nightmare about it to this day.

But not CBS President Nina Tassler, because while she tried to reassure that “the show is beloved by most in this room and the audience. It was never in danger, we just took a while to make the announcement“, it’s really not a mystery that the show never really received much love from The Eye. Plus, really, how hard is it to announce that the greatest sitcom they have is being renewed ? Especially when it last for weeks and weeks, yet other sitcoms including new series had already received their renewal announcement…

Anyways, about that whole mess - and it really was a mess - Tassler think it was great, and she wants more of it ! Oh yeah, expect more stunt casting coming to CBS soon… Really, anyone who wants to do a guest spot on a CBS show, just have your rep call Tassler directly, say you love the show and you’ll get a spot. Doesn’t even matter if you can actually act or anything, the network will just go tell the writers to write you something, because that’s how great shows are done…

Sounds like an idea NBC could have had, in fact they already had it, only they do it with products, not people. Pays more I guess. And, when you think about it, I might even find NBC’s way a lesser evil, because I’d much rather have to see Barney use an iPhone on some episode that having to share even one scene with Britney Spears…
