'Big Brother 8' Programming Schedule Announced

According to The Futon Critic, Big Brother 8 will return to the same scheduled evenings as last season -- the season premiere will be Thursday, July 5 at 8 PM ET/PT. On Sunday evenings, the show will air at 8 PM ET/PT while the Tuesday night show will start at 9 PM ET/PT, an hour later than last year.

Pirate Master will follow BB8 on the premiere night, then settle into the 10 PM ET/PT slot on Tuesday evenings. It seems that it's been cast adrift, mateys.

There's still no casting news, nor news on the live feeds.

I was so hoping I would like Pirate Masters, since it is similar to Survivor and I LOVE Survivor. I just can't seem to get into it...

But at least I have BB.... OMG! I can't wait!! lol!

I feel the same about PM. I tried, but I'm giving up already. Just hoped it would be more Survivor-esce. It definitely is not.

Hi Jackie!
I'm looking forward to another BB season with you. I'm very excited for it to start. The lazy crazy hazy days of summer are almost upon us, and with it comes another crew of love-to-hate houseguests.
I agree with the others who posted about Pirate Masters. It didn't hold my interest, and I'm easy.

Happy Sunday!

TV is dismal right now... I will watch the series finale of The Sopranos tonight, and SYTYCD this week, but can't find a thing to get interested in otherwise...

Welcome to Niki! You will have a good time here, and Jackie keeps us up-to-the-moment with BB!

If you watch So You Think You Can Dance, there is a link for a blog discussion page that Jackie set up for those of us who watch. Look for the links on the right hand side of the home page.

Has anyone found anything interesting to watch right now???

HI all! And welcome from me too Nikki will be watching the Sopranos finale tonight as well. We're all going to be here, often live blogging or live commenting, from start to the bitter end for BB. Now if it would just START!

I will be watching Rescue Me on FX which starts it's 4th season this week.

Delee,

Thanks for the reminder on Big Love! I love that show, and that gives me something to look forward to on Monday nights!

I'm alive. I really am. NO good television for me this weekend, so I did some other things for a change. ;-)

Welcome aboard, Niki! I see some folks welcomed you -- it's a good bunch here. It may get a bit crazy once the show starts, but it's fun!

Jackie--- yay it's summer and back for another awesome blog will you be blogging BB After Dark-- I wonder if this is a roux to get more people to sign up for live feeds if they get 3 hours a night of uncensored fun on Showtime!

Big Brother After Dark!




Our friends over at BuddyTV report that the rumored big changes that were set to happen during Big Brother 8 will not be the format itself (although do expect new things to happen during the show). The changes will take the shape of three hours of uncensored feed live from the house!

Sadly for us BB addicts, this nightly feature will not be broadcast on CBS but on sister cable network ShoToo.

The network confirmed that Big Brother would be back three nights a week on CBS: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays. As for Big Brother: After Dark, the name of the nightly uncensored show, it will air every night from 9 p.m. EST to midnight.

According to executive producer Allison Grodner, these three hours should be entertaining as "That's primetime for the Big Brother house. It's when our houseguests are most wide awake and having fun, talking about strategy and playing the game. People are going to see quite a bit."

Big Brother 8 will have its premiere on Thursday, July 5.

Carrie - I don't have Showtime (or ShoToo), but all they're going to be doing is airing the feeds I'll already be seeing, so I'm sure to cover their content in my reports... and possibly more as I won't be limited to one camera feed as is the show.
