Honestly, I didn't enjoy the CBS programming that much.

Its too bad Leno is leaving, as it would have been nice to see some Tonight Show excerpts.
I hope we are not subject to too much of that crap.
..., Oxygen,...

Good riddance to Eye on American, though I'm not sure NBC's offerings will be any better.

You can probably watch Leno's clips on future AA flights.

The only shows I really liked on Eye on American were How I Met Your Mother episodes.

I'm going to miss "How I Met Your Mother" and "The Big Bang Theory." They are the only two sitcoms left that are worth watching.
Then again, I watch them as they air on CBS, so it's not like any of the episodes were ever new to me.

Since when is Ugly Betty on NBC? ... I have AA to thank for making me aware of The Big Bang Theory so this news is pissing me off.

Think they'll start showing The Office? That would almost be enough to get me to look for 757's instead of my usual MD80's.

Per USA TODAY -American Airlines to switch to NBC
On March 1, NBC Universal will replace CBS as American Airlines' in-flight video news, information and entertainment program provider.
Looks like AA is trying to become more liberal.

Law & Order on AA would be fantastic!!! However, since at least some of it is rated TV-14, they might not be able to show it.
