CBS Cancels Another Daytime Drama 12/09/09 CBS canceled "As the World Turns" on Tuesday, putting the company that coined the phrase "soap operas" out of the business of making daytime dramas for the first time in 76 years. "As the World Turns" has been on the air since 1956 and televised its 13,661st episode Tuesday. Its last episode will be next September. It's the second daytime drama CBS has canceled in a year, after "Guiding Light." Through the years, actors Marisa Tomei, Meg Ryan, Parker Posey and James Earl Jones have appeared on "As the World Turns." The show follows families in the Illinois town of Oakdale.
'Family Ties' Actor Bonsall Arrested for Assault 12/09/09 "Family Ties" actor Brian Bonsall was arrested on Saturday after allegedly attacking a pal, until police realized he's been wanted for more than a year for another crime. The former child star, who played Michael J. Fox's little brother on the hit '80s sitcom, is said to have hit Michael Trujillo in the face with a splintered bar stool during a night of heavy drinking at his friend's Colorado home. Concerned neighbors alerted authorities, who booked the 28-year-old at the scene despite his claims he had no recollection of the brawl, according to the Colorado Daily. Officials then discovered Bonsall has been wanted since July 2008 after he failed to appear at a hearing for allegedly violating his probation linked to a 2007 assault charge.
