CBS Defends Its No. 1 Status with 2013 Upfront Reveal
As TV upfronts week rolls on, we arrive at the presentation of the new season from the last of the four major networks: CBS, which is at the top of the network game and has every reason to be more confident than the competition. In a press conference this morning CBS chief Les Moonves embraced the "smug motherf--kers" title that Jimmy Kimmel adorned upon his No. 1 rated network at Tuesday's ABC upfront. "You don't call somebody 'smug motherf–kers' unless they're smug and they're winning, so we'll try to be a little less smug and a little more gracious," Moonves said. "But that's hard for me, as you know."
