Do You Still Care About Big Brother?
Big Brother has been a reliable Summer hit for CBS for the past several years, but a recent Winter outing didn't do so well in the ratings.
Now the show is back starting on Sunday, with a new cast — including the oldest participant ever, a 75-year-old great-grandfather named Jerry MacDonald — and a promise that the show is returning to the basics that made it a hit.
We're getting the typical onslaught of meet-the-players videos and even a house tour (see below), but after that dismal Winter, I'm wondering: Do you still care about Big Brother?

Meet the Housemates of Big Brother's Winter Edition
Starting next week, we'll get to see how CBS' steamy summer reality hit, Big Brother, fares during the colder months. The ninth edition of the show, which kicks off on Tuesday, Feb. 12, brings us 16 new contestants to eavesdrop on several times a week.
What the Writers' Strike Means for Winter TV
We've been hearing it since even before the Hollywood writers' strike officially began last month: No writers means more reality TV, more game shows, and more series the networks weren't sure they wanted at all.
Now there's proof.
CBS has released its schedule for January and February programming, and pieces of NBC's plan are emerging as well.
How Obsessed Are You with "Big Brother"?
"Big Brother" kicked off its eighth season on CBS this week, with some of the houseguests discovering they'd be sharing their living space with someone from their past. I've always thought "Big Brother" made it easy for fans to get hooked, what with the three weekly airings, the 24/7 access to the house and this year's addition of "America's Player," which lets viewers decide what one person in the house does. So, I've got to ask: How obsessed are you?
