Yay How I Met Your Mother!

Two more Amazing Races + How I Met Your Mother = goodness.

[Guest Rrrsh]

Who didnt get picked up then

[Art Sandusky 0]

Please tell me we really aren't up to that many iterations of any reality show.

Talk about variety in shows....

Who didnt get picked up then

 

There's not much left among already existing shows...

 

48 Hours

Out of Practice

Close to Home

Courting Alex

Still Standing

The King of Queens

Yes, Dear

CBS Sunday Movie

 

The top four shows in the list are probably on the bubble, the latter ones will probably be cancelled. There's obviously no way to know yet about shows like The Unit (starting tonight) or the upcoming Julia Louis-Dreyfus sitcom.

[Placebo Effect 0]

Yes, Dear wrapped production last month and TheFutonCritic has a story saying the show is officially done.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if Still Standing got a novelty renew so it could hit 100 episodes.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

CSI: Miami

CSI: NY

This shocked me the most.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

I figured it would be back, but still glad to see NCIS is officially back. I love that show.

[Mr. S£im Citrus 0]

Yeah, I only bother with three of those.

And just to tick me off of course, CBS changed its press release so that Amazing Race was only picked up for one new edition (#10) with the fate of any eventual #11 yet to be determined.

[SuperJerk 0]

You know why they call it "CBS"?

 

Because that's all you see: B.S.

Fucking Weavers.

 

The Unit and New Adventures of Old Christin also haven't been picked up, but that's not surprising since one just debuted and the other has yet to.

CBS (households: 9.5/15, #2; adults 18-49: 4.2, #2) however got some good news in the former of "The Unit" (households: 11.5/18, #3; adults 18-49: 5.1, #3), which built off its "NCIS" (households: 11.0/17, #4; adults 18-49: 3.8, #T4) lead-in by 4.35% in households and a whopping 34.21% in adults 18-49. Even better, "The Unit" built its audience between half-hours by 2.66% in households (11.3/17 vs. 11.6/18) and 10.42% in adults 18-49 (4.8 vs. 5.3). Closing out the night then was "The Amazing Race 9" (households: 6.1/10, #7; adults 18-49: 3.8, #T4).

With all these hit shots, CBS should start considering Saturday again, and also scratch the Sunday movie.

Do we really need a seventh season of CSI?

Yikes, those aren't great numbers. Of course, this is a 9 pm show, not a 10 pm show. Moving it to 10 was pretty dumb.

It IS the highest rated scripted show on TV.

I can see the reason for it being renewed but I just don't want it to go on beyond it's time that's all.

The thing is, I don't see how it can go on beyond it's time. CSI safely sits in that Law and Order spot where you never really run out of crimes to use. It's not like a sitcom where after awhile it just runs out of jokes. CSI can keep going as long as a) the cast holds together or makes changes for the better and b) the writers don't go completely nuts.

 

The Unit was pretty damn awesome. Hopefully the ratings hold steady and the show survives.
