We are committed to finding a life for GL after CBS. Specific conversations are happening — I can’t tell you the substance of them or with whom we’re talking — but I assure you this is not lip service. We are absolutely committed to finding a landing place, not only for us but for the viewers who have been so loyal all this time, and to whom GL has been so important.
I am encouraged. I don’t know if I’m confident. What we’re talking about is a long shot, but we’re not going to just fold up our tents. One of the things that has always made us very proud of GL is that it figured out how to move from radio to television at a time when a lot of programs failed at that. Whoever was the steward of that move did an amazing thing and we want to be that same kind of steward now.
On how the show will wrap up on CBS.
We will treat this situation with the utmost respect, yet at the same time we’re not going to treat it like a museum piece. This is a living, breathing program that continues to have great and exciting possibilities.
On the buzz of Otalia which has helped draw in new viewers.
That’s one of the many reasons we believe GL has a future. It tells us that there’s life in the old girl yet!
