The vet took a look at the water trough where the buffalo had been drinking and noticed the water was col- ored and had a "strange smell." Turns out the farmers had hid- den their moonshine bottles at the bottom, but some had broken. The buffalo were drunk. The vet informed police, who raided the farm and confiscated 100 bottles of alcohol. New World Order In Tokyo, an enormous 3D calico cat is towering over the street, CBS News reported.

Question: Can you tell me why "Ce- lebrity Dating Game" gets a prime- time slot when the great shows "All Rise" and "Rebel" are canceled? — Jean Matt Roush: Silly and inexpensive summer filler like this has nothing to do with network decisions about more costly scripted programming that is underperforming. is was a very tough season for shows on the bubble, and as the networks con- tinue to struggle with declining real- time viewership and ad revenue, we're likely to see more corny and cheap TV.

By Damian Holbrook Cheers to Prime video for sending us into a "Panic." e streamer's ad- aptation of Lauren Oliver's young- adult thriller novel hits every nerve as a group of high schoolers face a series of fear-inducing dares ar- ranged by some twisted adults for a chance to escape their failing Texas town. It's like "Friday Night Lights" meets "e Hunger Games!" Jeers to "Clarice" for being silenced by stalled negotiations. e CBS thriller centered on" Silence of the Lambs" heroine Clarice Starling (Rebecca Breeds) was set to shuffle over to streamer Paramount+ for Season 2. Now, thanks to some boneheaded behind-the- scenes snafu with the network and copro- ducer MGM, this promising proper- ty looks as doomed as one of serial killer Buffalo Bill's victims. Jeers to "e View" for losing sight of what Meghan McCain brought to the table. No matter your politics, the conservative co-host spoke for a certain portion of the audience and certainly gave us all something to talk about. With her planned exit at the end of this season, Hot Topics will be a little less fiery. ARIES - March 21/April 20 You are inspired to study a new culture after reading about it in the news, Aries.
