CBS: "Reality Shows Are Worth the Risk"

''I'm tired of putting on 'Diagnosis Murder' reruns in the summer. There's a quest to put on new forms of programming,'' CBS President Leslie Moonves told the Television Critics Association.

Under sharp questioning, Moonves said the network believes ''Big Brother'' is worthwhile but does require vigilance.
