NEWS ROUNDUP: NFL Hurting GOOD WIFE Ratings, GLEE Holiday Album, Hayden Panettiere Streaker

The problem is one that shows on CBS have lived with for a generation: late-afternoon National Football League games that run past their scheduled broadcast time. This season, for example, THE GOOD WIFE has started as late as 9:29 p.m. Eastern time — as it did on Oct. 30 — not at 9 p.m. as scheduled.

  1. I've stopped watching The Good Wife on Sundays because of the delays too. I usually wait until the episode becomes available On Demand on my cable a few days later.
