I am sure the readers know how much sleep Gun Shy is going to lose over this.

Jackson Service To Bump Local 6 Soaps - CBS Shows Will Be Broadcast At Later Time

Local 6 will air live CBS coverage of the Michael Jackson memorial service from Los Angeles on Tuesday afternoon, which will affect regular programming. The service, which will be held at the Staples Center at about 1 p.m., will last about 90 minutes, impacting "The Young and the Restless," "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "As the World Turns."

It appears that entertainment is the new opiate of the masses.
