The country singer's high-pitched yodel sold millions of records and saved the world in “Mars Attacks!"LOS ANGELES – CBS dropped its lawsuit Friday against ABC over its reality series “The Glass House,” citing the show’s low viewership numbers as a reason it is no longer interested in the case.
The CBS network said it will continue to pursue its claims that top producers on the new series violated confidentiality agreements from when they worked on CBS’ hit series “Big Brother.” Those efforts will continue in private arbitration, not a federal courtroom where the rival networks have handled the case since it was filed in May.
CBS claimed the show copied “Big Brother” too closely.
The season finale of “Glass House” is scheduled to air Monday. Only 1.6 million viewers tuned in to the Aug. 6 episode.
“The viewers have spoken and delivered the ultimate form of justice against ‘The Glass House,’ ” CBS wrote in a statement released Friday.
