Boxscore from tonight's Freedom win over Easton

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER The Patriots survived a one-point second quarter and rallied to get their second big win of the week and are now very much in contention for a LVC tournament berth. This has basically become a three-team battle for the last spot. Let's assume that Central Catholic will win the West, Parkland the North and Liberty the East, although Liberty does have a tough schedule ahead with Becahi on Friday and Easton, Nazareth and Freedom next week. But if you assume Liberty holds on to the East top spot, that leaves three teams all with four losses vying for the wild-card spot with Freedom now tied with Easton and Emmaus in the loss column. Emmaus can join the Patriots and Red Rovers at 8-4 with a win over Allen on Friday, but remember that the Green Hornets lost to both Freedom and Easton and would lose the tiebreaker with either of those two. Here's the box from tonight's game, courtesy of freelancer Mike Blouse who covered the game for us tonight and below is the updated LVC standings: FREEDOM 41, EASTON 37 Freedom 11 1 13 16 – 41 Easton 11 6 7 13 – 37 FREEDOM (41) Jackson 5-12 5-6 18, Chiclana 2-8 5-6 9, Williams 1-5 0-0 2, Connor 1-4 1-4 3, Long 3-8 0-0 7, Uliana 1-3 0-0 2, Shapiro 0-0 0-0 0, Seaman 0-0 0-0 0, Kelley 0-0 0-0 0.

Super Bowl prop bets include: Beyonce, Alicia Keys and how many times Ray Lewis will refer to God

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER For your amusement purposes only, RJ Bell of Pregame.com has provided a list of some of the more amusing prop bets that will be taken in Vegas before Sunday's big game. If you can't be in New Orleans, the best place to experience the Super Bowl is Vegas where every hotel/casino is packed and the atmosphere is quite festive. It's like Super Sunday is a national holiday for the gambling world. Besides the parties, there's an array of unusual bets you can make on this game, and you can even wager on the stuff that will happen before and after the game. If the New Jersey casinos ever want to make a comeback and lure back some of the gamblers who now just are content to go to their local Pennsylvania casinos and stay away from the boardwalk, NJ has to win the very tough fight and somehow, some way get sports gambling passed. Here's the Super Bowl report from Pregame.com: Fun Props (with odds updates) Length of postgame handshake/hug between Harbaugh brothers: over/under 6 seconds [heavy under action has moved number down from 7.5 seconds] How long will it take Alicia Keys to sing National Anthem: over/under 2 minutes and 05 seconds [heavy under action has moved number down 10 seconds from 2:15] 36% chance Beyonce’s hair will be straight, not curly ($100 wins $150) [heavy "curly" action has moved chances down from 43%] 60% chance President Obama will pick Ravens to win game ["49ers will be the pick" action has moved chances down from 64%] Number of times “Harbaugh” will be said during game: over/under 22.5 times [over action has moved the number up from 21.5] Times Jack Harbaugh shown during game: over/under 2.5 times 47% chance Jay Z will join Beyonce on stage during halftime show ($105 wins $100) Will Alicia Keys be booed? If yes, $100 wins $500 29% chance Alicia Keys will forget or omit at least one word in lyrics ($100 wins $200) How many times will Ray Lewis mention “God/Lord” in post-game interview: over/under 3 times $100 pays $500 if any player on either team is arrested before the game. Color of Gatorade dumped on winning coach ($100 wins . . . ) Clear: +$180 Yellow: +$200 Orange: +$350 [was +250 in early odds] Red: +$650 Blue: +$700 Green: +$700 New Props: 85% chance Beyonce's will wear her hair "down" not "up" ($700 wins $100) 64% chance Baltimore will have higher local TV ratings over San Francisco ($200 wins $100) 53% chance Jim Harbaugh will be shown first before his brother after opening kickoff ($120 wins $100) 24% chance a team will score at least 4 straight times ($100 wins $275) 10 to 1 odds: No Field Goals scored in game ($100 wins $1,000) 75 to 1 odds: No touchdown scored in game ($100 wins $7,500) 18 to 1 odds: 10 or more touchdowns scored in game ($100 wins $1,800) 20 to 1 odds: ZERO sacks in game ($100 wins $2,000) Who will the Super Bowl MVP thank first ($100 wins . . . ) God: +$100 Teammates: +$175 Nobody: +$200 Coaches/Owner: +$500 Family: +$600 CLICK TO SEE LONG LIST OF BEST SUPER BOWL PROPS: http://bit.ly/TZpWw3 How Much Action on Super Bowl? An estimated $10 BILLION is projected to be bet on Super Bowl XLVII worldwide! Over half of adult Americans are expected to have some money at risk on the game. Less than 1% of the total bet is expected to be wagered legally in Nevada. Vegas 20-2 in Super Bowls! Las Vegas has kept separate records on Super Bowl betting for 22 years. Vegas has won money on the game 20 of those years! Bettors have won money on the game 2 of those years! Updated Super Bowl Action: 60% of bets to date have been on the underdog Ravens (down from 65% the first week of action) moving the opening line of San Francisco favored by 5 points to the current line of SF favored by 3.5 points Over/Under: 47.5 total points expected in game By considering the spread and the total, Vegas projects the approximant score of the game to be: San Francisco 26 Baltimore 22 Chance to win game based on odds: San Francisco: 62% | Baltimore 38% $100 on Ravens to be Super Bowl champs pays $150. Over 90% of Super Bowl bets in Vegas are placed on Saturday or Sunday. Coin Toss: NFC has won 14 of last 15 Super Bowl coin tosses! After reviewing multiple sources on the history of the Super Bowl coin toss: 46 prior Super Bowl coin flips: 23 heads and 23 tails Preseason Odds: Before the season started: San Francisco paid 17 to 1 to win Super Bowl ($100 won $1,700) Baltimore paid 14 to 1 to win Super Bowl ($100 won $1,400) (Baltimore paid as high as 30-1 late in the season) How good are the Super Bowl teams? Denver Broncos are the ONLY team that would be favored over the 49ers on a neutral field. FIVE teams would be favored over the Ravens (Broncos, 49ers, Patriots, Seahawks, Packers) Ravens biggest longshot ever to make Super Bowl? Ravens first underdog EVER of more than a touchdown to win in both Division playoff round and Championship playoff round (archive from 1978 onwards) $100 on Ravens to win first playoff game against Colts, then letting the winnings ride against Denver, then letting those winnings ride against Patriots, would have paid $2,300! Joe Flacco Joe Flacco now has 6 road playoff wins career More than Joe Montana, Terry Bradshaw, Steve Young, Troy Aikman, Bret Favre, Tom Brady, and Peyton Manning. Those legends are a combined 13-29 on the road in the playoffs, while Flacco has won 6 out of 10. Picking a winner: The lower playoff seed has covered 12 of 14 vs. Vegas spread (Ravens lower-seeded team this year) San Francisco a Perfect Six out of Six: 49ers have been favored by Vegas in ALL SIX Super Bowls they’ve played in. --

Sports Media Weekly No. 136- Mike McCarthy, Sports Biz USA and James Andrew Miller, Author

http://sportsmediajournal.com/ It’s Super Bowl week and we delve into all the hype on this week’s Sports Media Weekly. In our “Third Man In” segment Ken Fang of Fang’s Bites and I are joined by Mike McCarthy, sports business and media reporter for his own Sports Biz USA as well as contributor to the NFL, Newsday, and Advertising Age. We spend a good portion of our segment talking about the media coverage at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans, including the madness around Media Day and what the media did, or did not cover during the week. We also give our predictions on how the ratings may be for CBS this Sunday. We then shift into our continuing discussion on the Manti Te’O story, specifically how some seemed to be equally interested in the story itself and how and/why ESPN did not get the story first. It’s a fascinating discussion as to how ESPN is perceived in the realm of sports journalism. The Te’O story dovetails well as we talk with our second guest, James Andrew Millier, author of Those Guys Have All the Fun: Inside the World of ESPN. Miller co-authored a piece with Richard Sandomir of the New York Times looking at how ESPN handled the Te’O story. He says ESPN had enough information to run the piece, but wanted an on-camera interview with Te’O before running the story. Jim provides some compelling insight into how ESPN worked this story. We also talk to Jim about the comings and goings of talent at ESPN; the appearance of Chris Berman on Dan Patrick’s radio show tomorrow; and the progress of the Those Guys Have All the Fun movie.

CBS Super Bowl Today Features

http://sportsmediajournal.com/page/2/ CBS Sports has announced its slate of features produced as part of it’s Super Bowl Today pre-game show prior to Super Bowl XLVII. Here is the slate of features, from CBS Sports PR: James Brown, Dan Marino, Boomer Esiason, Shannon Sharpe and Bill Cowher, along with Greg Gumbel, welcome viewers with some pre-game analysis and highlights from CBS Super Bowl Park at Jackson Square, Champions Square and the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, while Lesley Visser and Tracy Wolfson, as well as Steve Tasker and Solomon Wilcots report throughout the day. Green Bay Packers’ Clay Matthews also joins the pregame show. ¨ THE HARBAUGH BROTHERS Producer: Deb Gelman It’s the overriding storyline of Super Bowl XLVII – the first time that a coaching rivalry is also a sibling rivalry. How did the Harbaugh brothers, Jim and John, get to this grand stage? They attribute it to their father Jack, who was the greatest influence on their lives and coaching careers. THE SUPER BOWL TODAY’s James Brown talks to both coaches about the influence of their father, growing up together and what it means to face your brother in the Super Bowl. ¨ O.J. BRIGANCE Producer: Deb Gelman The Baltimore Ravens beat the New York Giants in Super Bowl XXXV to win their first Lombardi Trophy. O.J. Brigance was the Special Teams Captain for the Ravens and was credited with the first tackle of the game. In 2007, he was diagnosed with ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and given a prognosis of less than five years to live. O.J. currently serves as Senior Advisor to Player Development for the team he once played for. Undaunted, O.J. is an emotional inspiration to this current Ravens’ team and was selected honorary team captain for the AFC Championship Game. In a very poignant moment he presented the Ravens with the Lamar Hunt Trophy following their victory over New England. O.J. has lost the ability to walk and talk, but he is able to still communicate via computer. He will tell his story of determination and courage in his own words. ¨ CHUCK PAGANO Producer: Charlie Bloom Whether you followed football or not, the phrase “ChuckStrong” captured the nation. Indianapolis Head Coach Chuck Pagano was hospitalized with leukemia just weeks into the season. As Pagano underwent chemotherapy, the city and the nation embraced his battle against the disease. Along the way, he inspired other patients in their fight against cancer. The real-life drama took on a storybook feel when the Colts magical run into the playoffs with Pagano’s remission, allowed him to return to the sidelines by season’s end. This powerful journey is told for the first time by his family, wife Tina and daughters Tara, Taylor and Tori. ¨ GATEWAY Producer: Pete Radovich On July 20, 2012, a deranged gunman entered a movie theater in Aurora, Colo, and opened fire. By the time he was finished, 12 people were dead, and 58 others were injured. Among those wounded, rising senior Zack Golditch of nearby Gateway High School. Shot through the neck, the 6-foot-5, 260 pound, 17-year-old became a symbol of strength and recovery as he fought his way back onto the football field. ¨ PLAYER SAFETY AND THE FUTURE OF THE GAME Producer: Charlie Bloom The topic of player safety and concussions has re-emerged in the news again with Junior Seau’s family announcing a lawsuit over the concussions he sustained during his football career. President Obama said this week,“I’m a big football fan, but I have to tell you, if I had a son, I’d have to think long and hard before I let him play football.” Millions of youth football players and their parents will be watching Super Sunday. Some are debating their children’s future participation as they wonder what is being done to make the game safer? What medical treatments are being developed to prevent, heal, and even reverse the effects of severe injuries from the game? ¨ MUSICIANS’ VILLAGE Producer: Joseph E. Zappulla Hurricane Katrina devastated parts of New Orleans when it hit the Gulf in late August of 2005. Crescent City natives Harry Connick, Jr., and Branford Marsalis developed an idea to save part of the city’s soul – its music. They combined with Habitat for Humanity to create the “New Orleans Habitat Musicians’ Village,” making sure the sound that makes this city special, survives and thrives ¨ RAY LEWIS Producer: Deb Gelman When Ray Lewis announced his retirement, little did he know that the emotional momentum would carry him and the Ravens all the way to the Super Bowl. Lewis’ former teammate, Shannon Sharpe, sits down with the future Hall of Famer to discuss his career, his final season and this Super Bowl ride. ¨ JOE FLACCO Producer: Alanna Campbell Including postseason play, Joe Flacco is the winningest quarterback in the NFL over the last five seasons. Despite such lofty achievements, he is not widely considered to be one of the league’s top quarterbacks. Boomer Esiason talks with Flacco about the Ravens’ season of adversity, the team’s late-season switch at offensive coordinator, the Ravens’ playoff run, and whether he has what it takes to lead Baltimore to victory in Super Bowl XLVII. ¨ RAY RICE Producer: Alanna Campbell Baltimore running back Ray Rice takes us in his own words, on the Ravens’ journey to New Orleans. Along the way to New Orleans, Baltimore overcame injuries to superstars Terrell Suggs and Ray Lewis, as well as a late-season offensive coordinator change. Through it all, the Ravens never lost focus and find themselves one game away from becoming Super Bowl XLVII champions. ¨ COLIN KAEPERNICK Producer: Jeff St. Arromand San Francisco’s multi-dimensional quarterback Colin Kaepernick has taken the NFL by storm. Thrust into the spotlight after starter Alex Smith suffered a concussion in Week 10, Kaepernick has taken control, going 7-2 in leading the 49ers to their first Super Bowl since the 1994 season. THE SUPER BOWL TODAY’s Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino visits with the young quarterback to discuss his newfound fame, the pressures and expectations that go along with starting in the NFL biggest game. ¨ VERNON DAVIS Producer: Jeff St. Arromand Vernon Davis, the 49ers’ star tight end, opens up to THE SUPER BOWL TODAY’s Bill Cowher about his maturation process in the NFL. No one has ever questioned Davis’ enormous physical gifts, but his attitude, early in his NFL career, was quite a different story. It so infuriated then-Head Coach Mike Singletary during a 2008 game, that he sent Davis back to the locker room for the remainder of the contest. In interviews for this piece, Davis and Singletary share an emotional message with each other. ¨ PATRICK WILLIS Producer: Mark Burghart San Francisco’s linebacker Patrick Willis grew up in rural Bruceton, Tenn., with three siblings in a small trailer. Life was not easy. His mother left when he was three, and his abusive father found that the daily struggle of raising his children became too much. As a last resort, the kids sought help from their school’s superintendent. Finally, the school’s basketball coach Chris Finley, and his wife, Julie, agreed to take in the four children. Patrick went on to play at Ole Miss and eventually with the 49ers, but the close bonds he had with the Finleys as a teenager remains strong to this day. ¨ THE SMITH BROTHERS (Aldon and Justin) Producer: Mark Burghart All Pro defensive stars Aldon Smith and Justin Smith take viewers on a special inside look at the 49ers’ emotional rollercoaster ride – from the heartbreak of losing the 2011 NFC Championship Game to the New York Giants through this season’s start and up to the pivotal decision by Head Coach Jim Harbaugh to replace starting quarterback Alex Smith with inexperienced, but explosive Colin Kaepernick. The Smiths also talk about their injuries and the final run to Super Bowl XLVII. In addition, a live shot with our troops from Afghanistan will be included during THE SUPER BOWL TODAY. Live musical performances throughout the day during THE SUPER BOWL TODAY will include national recording artists OneRepublic and Matchbox Twenty. And syndicated television star and iconic cooking and lifestyle personality Rachael Ray will prepare the perfect tailgate food. Grammy Award-winning recording artist Alicia Keys will performs the national anthem as part of the pre-game show.

Locals in Lehigh football program are shining academically

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER This came out yesterday, but I wanted to salute Josh Parris (Palisades), Noah Robb (Central Catholic), Billy Boyko (Northampton) and the rest of the members of the Lehigh football program who made the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll for the 2012 season. There were 24 Mountain Hawks in all and Capital One Academic All-American Zach Barket headed the list. Special kudos to Robb, a freshman, who posted the top GPA among the Mountain Hawks in the fall semester, with a 3.94. Amazing. Can't say enough about these kids because the demands of the football program alone would seem to make it tough to keep up academically. Yet, they flourish on the field and in the classroom. Nearly half of Lehigh’s Academic Honor Roll honorees earned Dean’s List distinction with semester GPAs of 3.6 or better. To be eligible for the honor roll, student-athletes must maintain a 3.2 GPA and be listed on the team roster. A total of 169 Patriot League football student-athletes were named to the Academic Honor Roll, including 13 members of the Academic All-Patriot League football team. Colgate wide receiver Chris Looney was voted the league’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year for football last November. And Lafayette had its share of outstanding Academic Honor recipients as well, headed by junior Brad Bormann, who posted a perfect. 4.0 GPA. We're listing their student-athletes below as well: LAFAYETTE'S PATRIOT LEAGUE FOOTBALL ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL Justin Adams So. Government & Law, 3.60 Anthony Baker So.

TV NEWS ON JANUARY 30

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2013/01/tv-land-acquires-golden-girls-for-march.html We're still waiting for some final updates and news from NATPE 2013, so we won't bring you the annual what's coming up in syndication this fall list today. We hope to have that for you tomorrow...so stay with us. Anyway, we hinted last week that we would have some good news for fans of The Golden Girls and we will fulfill that promise today! As you may have noticed, The Golden Girls was pulled from the WE tv line-up a few months back. The network will be losing the rights to the sitcom this March and will not renew. They were sharing the series with the Hallmark Channel, but that network will keep airing the series and will not lose rights. However, WE tv's rights are headed to another cable network and it is TV Land! The Golden Girls joins the TV Land line-up on Saturday, March 16 and Sunday, March 17, 2013 with a weekend marathon from 3pm-11pm on both days with all the fun and laughs in Miami with Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia! In addition, for the week of March 18-22, the sitcom will have a week-long stunt in primetime as well from 7-10pm and more information on that will be announced at a later date. The sitcom will then start airing regularly after that every Mon-Sat from 7-9pm and Sundays 5-9pm - in primetime every night! Even with this new addition, no series will be leaving the TV Land schedule, but there will be some shifting of timeslots obviously. The Cosby Show will shift out of primetime to weekdays 6-7pm (leading into Golden Girls) and will gain a late night slot on weeknights at 3:30am cutting Roseanne to just 3am on weeknights. Cosby Show will still remain airing in the large blocks on weekends with Roseanne and Three's Company blocks. Back to weeknights, M*A*S*H will also shift earlier to weekdays 5-6pm, while The Andy Griffith Show afternoon block is now cut to 4-5pm. Everything else will remain as is, but as a reminder, don't forget Curb Your Enthusiasm joins the TV Land line-up on Feb. 16 and will air Mon-Sat 2-3am and Sundays 2-6am. For now, view the entire TV Land March 2013 schedule. Stay with us for updates and thank you for being a friend!

Lehigh Valley Conference boys basketball: Tuesday night recap, updated standings

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER Central Catholic and Freedom posted huge road wins, but the biggest win of the night may have been Whitehall's over Allen. With that come-from-behind victory, the Zephs are still alive for districts. Allen, meanwhile, is in deep trouble in terms of districts. The Canaries will likely beat PM East and Dieruff, but still must beat either Emmaus, Central Catholic or Parkland to get in and that won't be easy for a team that has struggled through most of January. Becahi, too, kept its district hopes alive, but the G-Hawks still have to face four very tough teams -- Liberty, Freedom, Easton and Hazleton. Here's the recap: Liberty 76, Northampton 41 -- A 27-point first quarter for the Hurricanes set the tone. Liberty hosts Pocono Mountain West tonight in 'Canes third game in four days. Central Catholic 56, Parkland 43 -- I don't even think the Vikings played especially well on offense and they still won by 13. Right now, CCHS offers the best chance for a local team to be playing deep into March. Freedom 68, Emmaus 61 -- The Patriots shot 35 foul shots and Nigel Long was most impressive, going 10-for-10 at the line. Easton 57, Nazareth 41 -- The Blue Eagles hung tough, trailing only 33-29 after three quarters. Bethlehem Catholic 58, Dieruff 57 -- The Golden Hawks nearly let this one get away, making just 10 of 24 at the foul line. Whitehall 51, Allen 50 -- Tony Bellucci was the key with all 15 of his points coming on 3-point shots, including three treys in the final three minutes. LEHIGH VALLEY CONFERENCE STANDINGS (*) District 11 qualifer WEST DIVISION *Central Catholic 16-2, 9-2 *Emmaus 9-8, 7-4 Allen 8-9, 4-6 Dieruff 5-13, 2-9 NORTH DIVISION *Parkland 13-5, 8-2 Whitehall 9-9, 5-6 Nazareth 7-10, 3-7 Northampton 2-15, 0-10 EAST DIVISION *Liberty 12-5, 8-2 *Easton 14-4, 7-3 *Freedom 12-7, 7-4 Bethlehem Cath. 9-9, 3-8

MVC boys basketball: Tuesday night scoreboard, updated standings

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER The class of this league, Pocono Mountain West, had the night off. Panthers visit Liberty on Weds. on what could be a District 11 preview. Of course, West has a fondness for Liberty's Memorial Gym since that's where they won their first district title last month. In terms of Tuesday's games, no real surprises; only a little more heartache for Lehighton and heartburn for coach Rich Oertner. MVC SCORES: Pleasant Valley 48, Lehighton 44 ... The Bears swept the two games in this series, but by a total of six points. ES South 54, PM East 33 ... It was only 25-22 at halftime, but you're not going to win many games scoring just 11 points in a half as the Cardinals did. Stroudsburg 51, ES North 41 ... Six 3-pointers were one of the keys for the Mounties, who come to Allentown to try to stop the streaking Central Catholic Vikings on Wednesday night. MVC STANDINGS *Pocono Mountain West 14-2, 9-0 *Stroudsburg 10-8, 7-3 *Pleasant Valley 11-8, 6-3 ES South 9-10, 5-4 Lehighton 9-9, 4-6 ES North 4-15, 2-8 Pocono Mountain East 1-15, 0-9

Colonial League boys basketball: Tuesday night scoreboard, updated standings

http://blogs.mcall.com/groller/ FROM KEITH GROLLER COLONIAL LEAGUE No surprises in the Colonial League on Tuesday night, except maybe the margin of victory for Notre Dame over Southern Lehigh. Here's a recap: Salisbury 58, Saucon Valey 46 ... Tyler Brown 14. Notre Dame 62, Southern Lehigh 39 ... It was 24-2 after one quarter. Crusaders only outscored Spartans 38-37 after that, but that was probably of no consolation to Bob Shaffer and Co. Wilson 53, Palisades 46 ... Phil Pierfy had 16 for the Warriors, who have now won 16 in a row. Bangor 59, Palmerton 25 ... Bombers held scoreless in the second quarter. Northern Lehigh 57, Northwestern 32 ... Josh Eden outscored Northwestern by himself, 17-10, in the first half. Catasauqua 68, Pen Argyl 46 ... Rough Riders never allowed Green Knights to think about an upset, hitting them with 28 points in the first quarter. COLONIAL LEAGUE STANDINGS NORTH DIVISION *Bangor 13-4, 10-2 *Catasauqua 12-6, 9-4 *No. Lehigh 12-6, 7-5 Northwestern 6-13, 3-10 Pen Argyl 4-15, 1-13 Palmerton 0-18, 0-13 SOUTH DIVISION *Wilson 18-1, 12-1 *Notre Dame 12-7, 11-2 *Salisbury 13-6, 10-3 So.

TV NEWS ON JANUARY 28

http://blog.sitcomsonline.com/2013/01/tbs-adds-wipeout-cougar-town-to-daily.html Before we get into today's news, NATPE 2013 is today through Wednesday (Jan. 28-30) in Miami and we'll cover everything that is noteworthy either tomorrow and/or Wednesday, so stay tuned for our list of what is coming up in syndication in fall 2013 and other key updates! TBS made some last minute schedule changes last week that begin...today (Jan. 28, 2013). They have added comedic obstacle series Wipeout to its weekday afternoon line-up while also adding ABC episodes of Cougar Town on the daily line-up. Wipeout will be borrowed from sister network TruTV, which is having success with the series and now it will try to bring more ratings to a struggling TBS early afternoon line-up where it is replacing recently added Rules of Engagement in the 2pm hour. Rules of Engagement will shift to the 11am hour, while American Dad! moves into the 1pm hour leading into the younger Wipeout to create a two-hour block. In other scheduling news, Rules of Engagement will be following an hour of Fresh Prince at 10am (as Are You There Yet? will just be Fridays in the 10am half-hour) and According to Jim and Everybody Loves Raymond follows in the 12pm hour. TBS has six plays a week on Are You There Yet? and they will have five of those on Fridays, one at 10am and the other four from 11pm-1am. The weekend play will be on Saturday morning at at 9am. The series is also struggling for TBS after being added this past fall. Everybody Loves Raymond will be heavily reduced and will only air weekdays at 12:30pm and Saturdays at 3:30pm, while Friends' weekday 3:30-5:30pm block is shifted to 3-5pm so it can lead into another Courteney Cox series...Cougar Town. The classic ABC episodes from seasons 1-3 will be airing weekdays at 5pm beginning today. TBS will be skipping the first five episodes though and will start with the series' sixth episode. Not much else is changing as in primetime The Big Bang Theory continues to do big numbers and Family Guy is always durable. Big Bang is leading into new episodes of Cougar Town on Tuesdays at 10 and new reality series King of the Nerds on Thursdays at 10. I urge you to view the entire TBS February 2013 schedule with the additions of Wipeout and earlier episodes of Cougar Town. No series will be leaving the line-up, but Are We There Yet? will be cut in days to just Fridays and Saturdays.
