Any WEST coast Parents upset with CBS

[JVIGH]

Ok I am in CA and all day my 5 year has been planning to watch the Barbie in the Nutcracker Movie on CBS at 8pm So minutes before 8 we were prepared in Barbie PJ's tons of Barbies pillows and chocolate milk ready to sit infront of the tv to watch the movie. Well guess how disappointed we are that football is still on. Ok I am a watcher but CBS made advertised for this movie on so many channels and my child called her friends to watch and here we are still waiting for the game to end after 8pm now. Usually Abby is in bed at 8pm and tonight I allowed her to stay up to watch this movie this one time. She is so upset right now and I am peed off.

What can I do I just emailed CBS telling them how upset this is and how dumb to schedule a game and then childrens show after, at this rate if they show the movie in full it won't be over till 9:30pm and that is if this game ends really soon. I even doubt she'll be able to stay awake that long. And that is what makes me so angry, how late the movie will end.

So all parents from the West Coast, email CBS if this is or was a problem for you too!

i'm on the east coast and the game they showed started at 8 est. Thats always the problem with sports telecasts. They expect it to last under 3 hours, which would have ended before 11 est (8 pacific) but as with time-outs, change of possessions, injuries, etc. the time is a guesstimate. there's going to be unhappy/happy campers either way. I think finishing the first program is always best.

ARGGGGG....that is so irritating when that happens. We weren't going to watch it...because I bought it for my daughter. It's worth the buy!! My daughter loved it. So you might want to consider getting it for the home.

We were watching nickelodeon...they said it would be on tonight (that was Saturday I believe)...got the kids ready, it was never on!

Hubby went to the mattel website (I think) and apparently it is on on Thanksgiving Night instead???

It is times like this a VCR or TIVO come in extremely handy.

Right now, I am so glad I have boys & not girls! Although, if Nick is showing Barbie on Thanksgiving night, I'll have to make sure we rent a movie or two (our middle boy can't stand football & a Barbie movie isn't going to cut it either).

Thanks for the warning! I could just imagine how mad he'd be if he went to turn on the TV & found Barbie on Nick.

I saw the ad on tv again...it looks like it WILL be on, on Thanksgiving Night, on CBS at 8 pm (est I assume), but I thought I saw something of a "disclaimer" of LA Seattle & someplace else having to check for exact time???

Well Saturday my child stayed up till 9:30 she is on a strict bedtime, since no matter what time she goes to bed she still wakes at 6am. We have tried everything, and so have my doubting parents. Any how I emailed CBS and they blah blah on how it wasn't in their control, blah blah so it didn't help much. But glad it will be on tv again. Thanks!
