The [[Long Runners|longest-running]] [[Prime Time News]] show, '''''60 Minutes''''' has been shown every Sunday night on [[CBS]] since 1968. Known for the concluding segment in which [[Grumpy Old Man]] Andy Rooney used to complain about whatever ticked him off this week until his October 2011 retirement and passing in the next month.
 
It also has that name with the [[Running Time in the Title]].
Line 13:
It has seasons like most of American television, so in the off season they air partial re-runs, where they take articles run before and modify them slightly, perhaps slightly updating them (usually in the intro and ending commentaries). However, despite being in a ''really'' crummy timeslot for decades (7 PM Sundays) the only time it was pre-empted for sports was when CBS had the Olympics. If an NFL game runs late, ''60 Minutes'' is shown in its entirety and the rest of the [[Prime Time]] lineup timeshifted back as long as necessary, though in some time zones this isn't necessary, as football is usually over by the time the show is supposed to start.
