I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely a creature of habit. I like things to happen the way that I’m used to them happening, and when anything messes with my routine, I’m not a happy camper — whether that’s Starbucks running out of my favorite sandwich, Daylight Savings Time seriously messing with my head, or any sort of change to my daily TV schedule.
Myself and other fans had to deal with a pretty big shake-up this week for Live! With Kelly And Ryan.
