Sudser “As the World Turns” took a last spin on its axis this week, according to EW.com. The show, which has been on air for 54 years, has taped its final episode. The 13,858th episode will air in September on CBS.

The show’s cancellation was announced last December due to it being the lowest-rated soap opera on the air. Since the announcement, the soap has managed to have past characters, including Sabrina and Frannie Hughes (reprised by Julianne Moore), return to the show to send it out in style. While the fan favorites paraded Oakdale, Illinois for one last go, the production behind ATWT, TeleNext Media, tried valiantly to save the show and sell it to another network or syndication, but there weren’t any buyers. CBS has yet to name a replacement for the show.

Are you sad about the loss of ‘As the World Turns’?

Anyone who has been following the Conan O’Brien/NBC drama knows that this weekend marks a very important date in that saga. May 1 marks the day when NBC’s gag order over Conan ceases, which means that every media outlet and their elders are out for a piece of the action. But, as with anything in life, there are stipulations still at play for Conan, according to The Wrap.

One of those provisions is that Conan cannot belittle or derogate NBC or Jay Leno in an interview, which might collect a lot of groans from not only Conan’s fans, but also from the press figures lined up to interview Conan, the first of which is “60 Minutes.”

The CBS show is airing its interview with Conan this Sunday, May 2. The interview will be conducted by Steve Kroft, a former guest on Conan’s “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” show back in 2001. The second stipulation, which Kroft called “absurd,” is that CBS cannot air any footage of Conan to promote the interview prior to May 1st, which is Saturday.

Hmm…. Can we expect a huge promotional push during the day on Sunday before the interview? Or will CBS come up with some creative way to market it? What do you guys think?

1. 
   LisaGuillen Conan doing 60 Minutes on Sunday but you might not have known cause CBS can’t use his likeness to promote it! http://tinyurl.com/2werttr
2. 
   MrWordsWorth Conan O’Brien will be on 60 Minutes this Sunday. Checking CBS’ schedule to see if there is any chance of a late start to the show.
3. 
   scottaolson CBS should have Conan hidden by a shadow and disguise his voice for the 60 minutes interview. #coco #conan #60minutes #nbc #cbs
4. 
   scriptgrrl loves that CBS cannot show Conan in promoting Sunday’s 60 Minutes. Maybe they can put a black box over him like South Park did with Mohammed
5. 
   LorraineRLewis Looking forward to Conan on 60 Minutes, May 2nd. Is social media the silver bullet for CBS & their promo restrictions? http://bit.ly/ct4FoM
6. 
   flokclothing Conan will be on 60 minutes, finally he can talk, spill the beans Coco, let them have it.

With her daughter Bristol to star in ABC Family’s “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” later this year, it was only fitting that ex-Alaskan governor Sarah Palin would find her own spot on television. The former vice-presidential candidate is teaming up with well-known reality show producer Mark Burnett (”Survivor,” “The Apprentice”) to pitch her own docudrama in Hollywood this week, Entertainment Weekly.com reports.

Palin has been seen leaving  ABC, Fox and CBS this week and she still plans to meet with NBC to pitch her idea for a “planet-Earth type look” of her home state of Alaska.

The Twitterverse was rampant about Palin’s new gig as a TV producer.

1. 
   knitpurlmom Sarah Palin shopping a reality show. I would watch – it’s like a train wreck. It may be interesting
2. 
   suckerpunchsoul What’s worse than “Jersey Shore”? A Sarah Palin reality show. Seriously someone needs to strike down that idea, stat!
3. 
   Dame_Rebecca I’m all for trashy, train-wreck reality shows, BUT I would have to draw the line if Sarah Palin goes through with hers! #srsly
4. 
   Sattiewhite Watching ABC News and I just heard it all. Sarah Palin’s shopping around a reality show. Really? Palin, go away. Spare us, please.
5. 
   Gabesmom Sarah Palin shopping for a reality TV show? I am about 85% off the Palin bandwagon, this will cause me to jump off for good. #opportunist
6. 
   BethGrahamPR If Sarah Palin gets a reality show, I’m throwing my TV in the lake.
7. 
   Steven_Friedman Leno might have the ratings (this week) but he has hit a new low by serving as Sarah Palin’s puppet.
8. 
   jallenhayslett The only part of a Sarah Palin reality show I wanna see is when she is no longer a reality.
9. 
   Luckym519 Sarah Palin on reality tv?????
10. 
    jimurtz @DavidMuirABC I would not watch a Sarah Palin reality show. I am not a big fan.

The ad, which was paid for by the Christian organization Focus on the Family, reportedly features Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother discussing how she ignored doctors’ advice to have an abortion.

Groups such as the Women’s Media Center are arguing the Super Bowl, which is the most-watched television program of the year, is not the time or the place to voice political and/or religious views. In response, Focus on the Family said they expected people to disagree with the ad but noted people are commenting without having seen the it, adding there’s “nothing political or controversial about it.”

CBS said they still plan to air the commercial despite the controversy. In a statement, the network wrote, “We have for some time moderated our approach to advocacy submissions after it became apparent that our stance did not reflect public sentiment or industry norms on the issue. In fact, most media outlets have accepted advocacy ads for some time. At CBS, our standards and practices process continues to adhere to a process that ensures all ads — on all sides of an issue — are appropriate for air. We will continue to consider responsibly produced ads from all groups for the few remaining spots in Super Bowl XLIV.”

Some tweeps said the issue is a matter of free speech while others said they wanted personal choices off the gridiron:

1. 
   millypatterson @CBS and @NFL please air the Tim tebow ad. It’s time for conservative America to have a voice too.
2. 
   Missus_Be I support Tim Tebow’s opportunity to share his opinion. #standforlife #standwithTebow #Gators
3. 
   racharoo Guess what Tim Tebow? Hitler’s mom chose to not abort him too!
4. 
   robdiwa I support Tim Tebow and the 1st Amendment #TCOT
5. 
   pfthurley I’m pretty sure the argument made by Tim Tebow in his superbowl ad is a fallacy, if the reports of the nature of the ad are correct.
6. 
   andyhobin You people have more important things to get huffy about than Tim Tebow and his little commercial.

1. 
   blazek79 Why is it that when someone like Tim Tebow and his mother tell a story of their lives, it becomes political?
2. 
   jlondon81 Because of Tim Tebow, Dr. James Dobson and Focus on the Family is the newest bane of America’s existence according to… ESPN!
3. 
   PhillyMike @WhitlockJason Tim Tebow is at the TOP of my list for “People Whom I Can’t Wait for a Scandal to Break On”. I can’t stand the self-righteous
4. 
   pelletposy I was watching Tim Tebow talking about the Super Bowl ad re his Mom, thought it was very heart warming

1. 
   terynschaefer I like Tebow, but not sure if abortion ads should air during the superbowl. It should be fun time!
2. 
   MaxStackz what??? they trynna put an abortion commercial on durring the superbowl!!!! YEAH THATS WHAT WE WANT WITH OUR SPORTS ABORTION!!!!

“How I Met Your Mother,” now in its fifth season on CBS, celebrated its 100th episode Monday night. The half-hour sitcom, which stars Neil Patrick Harris, Alyson Hannigan, Jason Segel and Josh Radnor, is focused around Ted Mosby (Radnor) and the tale of how he met the love of his life. This is conveyed to the audience through flashbacks from the future (the year 2030, to be exact), where he sits down with his now grown children to share with them the story of his quest to find his future mate.

Last night’s episode featured guest-stars Rachel Bilson and Stacey Kiebler, and concluded with a musical number. The episode was watched by nearly 10 million people.

Reactions from the Twitterverse were overwhelmingly positive:

Another soap opera will be leaving the airwaves come fall of 2010. According to EW.com, CBS has decided to end the 54-year run of “As the World Turns” in September. ATWT exec producer Chris Goutman released a statement saying, “We are disappointed and saddened by the news that the show is not being renewed. It will certainly be a loss for all of us, and for the show’s loyal audience.”

ATWT fans tweeted their disappointment:

CBS’ “Guiding Light” finished its 72-year run earlier this year. These cancellations will leave only six soap operas on the air, though that could become five if rumors are true and ABC cancels “One Life to Live.”

The CBS “Early Show” blurring of Adam Lambert’s kiss with a male bandmate has enraged Jeremy Kinser, an editor of The Advocate, reports Extra.

Immediately before the blurred image, CBS aired unedited footage of Madonna and Britney’s kiss at the MTV Video Music Awards in 2003.  Kinser claims there is a double standard for male gay entertainers and CBS acted hypocritically as they decided to put Lambert on the show after “Good Morning America” cancelled Lambert’s appearance.

A CBS rep replied saying they gave the situation much thought, but the decision ultimately came down to the image currently causing great controversy.

Tweeps are having a mixture of emotions towards CBS, ranging from appreciation to outrage:

1. 
   devin_hayes CBS=Massive fail on the blurred out Adam Lambert image. Way to go guys….

American Idol finalist Adam Lambert’s performance at the American Music Awards on Sunday is part of an ongoing controversy. The act included Lambert kissing a male band member and simulating oral sex, among other things.

After receiving more than 1,500 complaints about Lambert’s racy performance, ABC, the network that aired the AMAs, pulled the singer from a scheduled appearance on “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.

ABC’s decision caused the hashtag #ShameOnYouABC to become a Trending Topic on Twitter as many fans cited homophobia and discrimination as a factor in the decision.

Instead, Lambert appeared and performed on “The Early Show” on CBS. During his interview, Lambert admitted that the controversial parts of his performance were not rehearsed and that he did “get carried away.”

Lambert’s performance has also caused the Parents Television Council to complain about ABC’s decision to air Lambert’s performance in the first place, even though it was edited for the West Coast feed.

Lambert, however, said he does not believe he needs to be held responsible for his actions. “I’m not a babysitter,” he said on “The Early Show.”

The Twitterverse was buzzing with varied opinions on the controversy:

1. 
   Starjanuary @HarveyLevinTMZ Adam Lambert went too far! If you didn’t practice before air time, don’t incl. on the show!
2. 
   troyteslow RT @Glambert2337: #ShameOnYouAbc once again he doesn’t need stupid soaps anyway that show more sex than he did lol
3. 
   pinkbagels Don’t know why there’s such a fuss over Adam Lambert. At this point, I’m waiting for someone to simulate a pap smear onstage.
