CBS President Defends All-Male, Mostly-White Fall Lineup
CBS is the most-watched network on television.
But some folks out there are growing increasingly concerned about just what viewers are watching on The Eye these days.
Or, to be more specific, about just WHO viewers are watching.
For the second year in a row, CBS presented a group of new shows at its Upfront Presentation in New York City this week that was lacking in two departments:
1. Diversity.
2. Boobs.
Indeed, there are six new dramas and sitcoms on the network’s 2017-2018 schedule and five are led by a white male, while the sixth is led by an African-American male.
The new programs and their top-billed stars are:
- SEAL Team, David Boreanaz
- S.W.A.T., Shemar Moore
- Wisdom of the Crowd, Jeremy Piven
- 9JKL, Mark Feuerstein
- Me, Myself & I, Bobby Moynihan
- Young Sheldon, Iain Armitage
What the heck, CBS? Where’s the diversity?!?
On Wednesday morning, a reporter asked CBS President Les Moonves whether it was really a sound strategy to not have a single female lead among his new crop of programs.
“We saw this with you guys last year,” the reporter asked, adding:
“Are you concerned, particularly in a medium like television where women watch more than men, that you have such a male-centered [lineup]?”
It’s true.
These were the faces at the forefront of CBS’ new shows a year ago:
Replied Moonves:
“Well, number one, more women watch CBS, percentage-wise, than any other network, so our shows have a lot of female appeal.
“I don’t think we’ve ever had to apologize for having Madam Secretary and Lucy Liu [on Elementary], and The Good Fight [on CBS All Access] and The Good Wife.
“We do a number of pilots, a lot of them have women in starring roles. There are a lot of women on the schedule. The best pilots win at the end of the day.
“And we think our track record is okay.”
As we said, CBS is the most-watched network on television.
So this issue begs the question of whether it has a social responsibility to be more diverse…
… or whether the viewing public should shoulder some blame because, hey, they’re the ones tuning in to CBS in droves. What’s a network to do when it’s obviously fulfilling its goals of putting appealing shows on the air?
But this reporter pressed on.
“We’re at this point in the industry — FX, for example, is trying to make sure half its directors are female. It seems like you guys might be facing in the wrong direction?” she asked.
“I don’t think that’s the case,” Moonves shot back.
He then elaborated as follows:
“Let me put on my CEO hat for a second because I’m not the president of entertainment. When I look at the totality of what CBS is, I look at news, I look at daytime, I look at sports, I look at Showtime, I look at The CW.
“And when you look at the totality of that, I think we’re fine in terms of the amount of women who are behind the camera and in front of the camera. I think we’re doing a very good job.
“I don’t think we’re looking in the wrong direction, on the contrary.”
What do you think of this controversy?
Is it much ado about nothing?
Does a television network have a social responsibility of some kind? Or do they actually have a responsibility to shareholders, which means they should only focus on programs that are popular… and no network does a better job of that than CBS.
Tough questions.
Discuss!

Taylor Swift Channel Coming to a TV Lineup Near You!
Taylor Swift is getting her own TV channel … and it’s gonna be all Swift all the time.
See what you’ve done?
It changes TV’s mind or it gets the hose!
AT&T recently announced that Swift will have her own station called Taylor Swift Now, and will revolve around Swift’s concerts, interviews, and all that B-roll of being one of the most pursued celebs in the world today.
It was reported that the channel will be available through DirecTV’s new streaming service — if y’all recall, AT&T recently purchased DirecTV in a huge merger — and will be available alongside other channels like FX and AMC.
They removed classic Doctor Who from Hulu and Netflix, and they’re giving us this instead.
What a world. What a world.
As a result of the new channel — and Swift’s ever-surging popularity — it was revealed that Taylor would get her shot at this year’s Super Bowl … sort of.
Variety reported that Swift will perform at DirecTV’s pre-Super Bowl concert.
What a … joy. A treasure, really.
We’re wondering if there’s going to be any Taylor Swift twerking involved … because that’s as BTS as it gets, and was basically the pinnacle of Taylor Swift laugh-out-loud entertainment so far in 2016.
Unless you count the Tom Hiddleston/Calvin Harris drama — that was pretty funny, too.
Previously, Swift was accused of helping Drake get revenge on Rihanna, but we just don’t buy that.
Taylor might be one of the shrewdest, most calculating women in the biz, but we don’t think she’s outright evil, right?
It was reported that Swift and Drake teamed up as the ultimate “breakup couple,” and wanted to get their digs out at their exes.
“There will definitely be some digs at [Rihanna],” the source revealed.
“Drake’s still devastated by his breakup from Rihanna and is hoping that this will get under her skin.”
The only thing that might get under Rihanna’s skin is having to watch Taylor Swift on television day in and day out.
Swift’s Instagram is cute.
Her Twitter is pithy.
All of her cat videos are to die for, to be honest.
But a 24-hour Taylor Swift television channel?
Guess we’ll just have to see how this one plays out.
(Hint: with cats, please. Lots and lots of cats.)

ABC Announces Fall Lineup: Where"s Scandal?!?
