Thoughts on The Drew Barrymore Show syndicated talk show staying on through season six until at least mid-2026 by CBS

by Sports Benches

The Drew Barrymore Show has just been renewed for season six that will last at least the summer of 2026 by CBS today as season five will begin in two weeks time from now while you can watch her syndicated daytime talk show in the meantime on Network 10 & 10Play on-demand in Australia. Not surprising indeed since she’s so successful bringing her talents from acting to show business and now a talk show host when her own Drew show first began back in September 2020. 

Although Drew did address about her interviewing style today in the way she interviews people up close where she got some criticism as being awkward, but sure she will look to practice physical distance as this is something that is unique or her own rather than copying off one from someone else like Wendy Williams & Sherri Shepherd & the other likes of Daytime TV.

How will her talk show fit in when the upcoming CBS Mornings third hour show is expected to begin late next month? First of all, her show is syndicated under CBS’s control where some will be on CBS owned & operated local TV stations while the rest that isn’t CBS owned & operated local stations can be picked up elsewhere. With that being said, the show airs back-to-back in half-hour weekday episodes as they can either air back-to-back or split the two episodes throughout the day.

As it stands, some CBS owned local markets who don’t air Drew will most likely get the third-hour Mornings show including some other CBS affiliate local TV stations if they choose to do so. Now if you live an area where you can’t watch the third-hour show on TV while Drew is on, then there’s always the CBS News 24/7 streaming channel online. Not sure if the third-hour program will be live Internationally or be delayed throughout the day like NBC and ABC does with their own 3rd hour shows.

So there you have it, Drew is not going anywhere for another 1-2 years for now – even when CBS Mornings third-hour is set to arrive soon and they got a ton of other Daytime shows to air throughout the day.

Thoughts on The Talk wrapping up at the end of 2024 after 15 years on the air by CBS

by Sports Benches

Well, CBS just made the announcement today that they will remove a chat show from their daytime line-up called The Talk going into next year. They first went on air back in mid-2010 in place of one of the channel’s former soaps As The World Turns, having enjoyed a great run of 14 seasons right now with the final 15th shortened season coming up to close it out between September-December 2024. Seems like it’s right time, although I think they should’ve bowed out a year or two ago but then the show gave a couple of guys a chance to step in full-time amongst a female-led panel after Sharon Osborne was fired. So what does that mean going forward? It seems they won’t make a CBS Mornings third hour and compete against ABC’s GMA 3 and NBC News Now during the middle of the day. However, they will most likely give another new soap a go that is centred around a rich African-American family called The Gates. Credit to CBS on fulfilling Michele Van Jean’s dream of running her own soap if this happens as it will be interesting to see who will be coming over soon enough from CBS’s other soaps like Bold & The Beautiful & Young and The Restless as well as ABC’s General Hospital & Peacock’s Days of Our Lives.

And with regards to the Australian showing here once The Talk will be taken off the air, I guess it won’t be much of a great loss from Network 10 who normally puts them on the air so early in the morning with a few days behind the original US airing which doesn’t gain much of an audience as another cheap-filler program will do to replace them at the 7 to 8am timeslot. I know CBS Studios is involved with The Gates when it comes to the production as we’ll wait and see if the show will be distributed internationally but don’t think an hour-long soap would be worth the risk since the popular B & B is 30 mins long as a decent lead-in to their 5pm news bulletin and Neighbours came back to life a few months ago thanks to Amazon Freevee.

Thoughts on the possibility of The Talk being replaced by another new soap (The Gates) at CBS Daytime

by Sports Benches

We saw that coming last week when a new soap is in the works around a rich African-American family at CBS Daytime called The Gates. Now we know that this goes ahead, the episodes would go for an hour long at 2pm weekdays in place of The Talk.

The Young & The Restless and even Bold & The Beautiful isn’t going anywhere despite Bold being renewed a few years less than Y & R who remains the best performing soap on the air. When it comes to game shows, The Price is Right has been running for several decades since 1972 & it’s something CBS wants keep on running while Let’s Make a Deal won’t be axed whose ratings is good & game shows like TPIR doesn’t produce a lot of $$$ – they can both continue like Bold and Y & R unless things go south.

Now The Talk is a daytime talk show rivalling ABC’s The View where you can currently catch it at 7-8am weekdays here on Network 10 & anytime on 10 Play as the episodes are only a few days behind the US. The panel has been an all-female panel for the majority until Sharon Osborne was fired three years ago & they since got two full-time male panelists onboard months after her dismissal with Jerry O’Connell & Akbar Gbajabiamila.  Ratings wise, they are currently the lowest on their current line-up & is also ranked 3rd on overall daytime talk shows. But again, the show had another new face behind the scenes recently in the hope of turning things around named Rob Crabbe from the now finished The Late Late Show with James Corden. And yet, there’s no news yet if The Talk will be back for the 15th season later this year where we should find out in the next few months.

If this show comes back again, then sounds good as Crabbe still needs more time to make The Talk working again. But it also doesn’t generate much interest amongst Australians where Network 10 has been airing them way early in the morning from 5-6am, then 6-7am and now 7-8 am rather than during the day – which unfortunately didn’t work a long time ago. So it wouldn’t be a surprise if The Talk will be axed soon enough so CBS can give another soap (The Gates) the chance to fill its shoes and dominate the 2pm timeslot, while 10 can have another low budget or repeat time filler content that isn’t part of the CBS staple at the same time since they aren’t able to compete with Seven and Nine in the mornings.
