Was really glad to see The Big Bang Theory get the early nod. Now if they would QUIT putting it against Chuck! :) I really don't get the opportunity to watch The Unit like I'd like to but it's an excellent show and I didn't know it was renewed because of how little CBS tries to promote the show while we continue to see ad after ad of freakin' CSI.

Cane and Moonlight – Bad ratings, terrible demos
Jericho – was given a second chance, bad ratings
Shark – good ratings, bad demos, cancelled because it would get a younger audience.
Veteran dramas – Have all declined compared to last year, specially Cold Case and Without a Trace

I think that’s the difference.

Ghost Whisperer will probably be renewed, although it shouldn't be...the story line is so old that it's not interesting now.

Secondly, Living acquired the reruns for Eleventh Hour. At first it seemed to me to be a sign that the show was doomed but now I am wondering why anyone would acquire a show which only had 1 year. So may be it signifies something else. Holly, I do not think it may be such a reliable source but they put EH 2nd season back on after they initially pulled it.

Nothing can kill something at CBS faster than being the most expensive anything. (Not counting Leslie Moonves' salary, of course.) But my gut is telling me it's a slam dunk for next year.

It's a good thing it was the top show of the night on April 3 and has huge chunks of its cost paid for by Canada -- otherwise, I might be inclined to take it as a pretty ominous sign. “Does anybody here think that one of the Friday shows could get cancelled even if they have lower expectations?

It hasn't done "The Ex List" terribly. And if CBS announced early renewals than basically they would just announce everything in green and probably leave WAT, CC, The Unit, Eleventh Hour, Old Christine, Gary and Worst Week Hanging. CBS has only canceled 1 series this year and Harper's Island would have been pulled completely if it wasn't a 13 episode miniseries. Whatever CBS does this year will likely be of some sort of pattern. Last year they dropped all the freshman and sophomore dramas and kept their veterans but this year 2 veterans (Trace and Case) along with The Unit are in danger of cancellation. While The Unit seems a definite for cancellation, similar to the Joan of Arcadia and Judging Amy situation, the Cold Case/WIthout a Trace combo could go either way. There wont be any midseason type deals for these two CBS could keep both, drop Trace, drop Case, or dump them both. What does everyone think?

While they do need to do something about Thursdays, that kind of wholesale move will hurt those shows more than it will help CBS.

The CW and FOX have series that are either a shoe-in for renewal or definitely not coming back. ABC and NBC has also renewed a lot of the shows and cancelled a lot and the bubble shows from those networks are also easier to distinguish which have a better chance of returning to the schedule. But CBS is very hard to figure out. Even with most of the series going to return in the same slots. Like last year with the strike, around this time no one knew what would happen with Moonlight. But it turned out that CBS's plan was to dump all of its new (Cane and Moonlight) and sophomore (Jericho and Shark) dramas and stick with their veteran dramas. CBS also kept all of its comedies (except the already axed Welcome to the Captain) and brought back The Unit which was MIA since december. I think the renewals and cancellations will be similar to the 2004-2005 season with a lot of series mirroring each other. Joan of Arcadia and Judging Amy is comparable to WAT and Cold Case. Both were veterans (even though Joan debuted only 2 years earlier) both sets were on the bubble for renewal (however CBS axed both Amy and Joan). But not sure yet what they will do with Case and Trace. Listen Up and Center of the Universe are comparable to Worst Week and Gary Unmarried. Both sets pf comedies debuted in the fall on mondays and wednesdays respectively. 1 comedy of the duo got a full season order (Listen Up and Gary Unmarried) while the other got 15 episodes (Center of the Universe and Worst Week) both of those series were axed and replaced by an established comedy held for midseason (Yes Dear and Rules of Engagement). While both Listen Up and Gary Unmarried got to finish up their season orders, Listen Up was eventually axed and I believe Gary will be too.

I do agree that CSI's ratings have lowered and Eleventh Hour has held on to a good amount of its lead in but I still think CBS may want to try a new show out in the hour. However if Eleventh was renewed it wouldn't be a shock to me, but CBS would have to dump some other dramas.

Dan, again I ask you: What lower than usual episode order? The show got 5 more episodes than the original order when the ratings were not good and it must've been something new CBS was trying since HI also got 13 episodes. About the ratings declining, I have to disagree with that, since CSI's ratings also declined and that was because of CBS's 'smart' decision of airing new episodes the night of ER's series finale. EH's ratings were pretty steady towards the end of the season. Whatever happens next season, CBS must know by now that they have too many old shows and most of them aren't what they used to be. And they need to renew or lose viewers. I can’t discuss any of the other shows because I don’t watch them, but I can discuss about a show that I watch and know.

I have also noticed that WAT has solved CBS's tuesday 10pm slot problem but CBS has dropped several hints about the fate of WAT. CBS has tested out the Mentalist in that slot a few times which may show that they might want to have the schedule look like this for next year. 8:00 NCIS 9:00 NCIS Spin-off 10:00 The Mentalist leaving no room for WAT, also WAT is older and has dropped alot since its days in the post CSI slot. If CBS renews both series (which I hope for) than its possible that CBS could move Trace to sundays at 10 to make for this type of schedule for sunday 7:0 60 Minutes 8:00 Amazing Race 9:00 Cold Case 10:00 Without a Trace For a nice sounding Race/Case/Trace combo. With this in mind, The Unit is gone and sorry for Eleventh Hour fans but the lower than usual episode order and declining ratings leaves little hope for renewal. It would be best for CBS to keep the wednesday night comedy hour, hopefully to grow. They are trying this combo out on May 13 but I believe that Rules of Engagement and Old Christine should be paired on wednesdays so the schedule looks like this 8:00 Rules of Engagement 8:30 Old Christine 9:00 Criminal Minds 10:00 CSI: NY Since both Rules and Christine are well established sitcoms by now, both should be paired if CBS wants the new comedy hour to grow, with Rules leading off the night. Sadly this leaves no room for the struggling Gary Unmarried and the other struggling comedy Worst Week is already dead. Monday will definitely look like this 8:00 The Big Bang Theory 8:30 How I Met Your Mother 9:00 Two and a Half Men 9:30 NEW COMEDY 10:00 CSI Miami Basically the same except with 9:30 vacant for a new post Two and a Half Men series.

I like the Monday lineup but agree CSI Miami has jumped the shark. I've taken to DVRing it so I can fast forward seemingly through more than the commercials. The Tuesday lineup is fine. NCIS and The Mentalist are 2 of my favorite shows. Wednesday night's dramas are fine with me. CBS should pay us to watch the comedy hour. They are horrible! Thursday night is OK. I'm not a Survivor fan but it does well. CSI appears to be losing steam, though. Count me in for the return of Eleventh Hour. The show did improve throughout the season. Friday's show are decent. I like Numb3rs but the show is losing the plot. There are way too many characters added to way too many plot lines. Sundays. If folks are right, I'll hate to see The Unit go. The numbers could have been much better but late-ending football action kills the fall ratings. Just my 2 cents.

It's bad enough ER couldn't get it right after 15 years. I don’t think we need any more medical dramas where they don’t bother to research the common sense on not defibrillating asystole.

I wonder as a sweetener to cancelling one of the dramas, they will pick up the Bruckheimer/Warner Bros drama pilot Miami Trauma as they've been looking for a medical drama and with ER gone, they could capture that audience along with the regular CBS audience. I wonder with CSI declining, I wonder how long it will be before it is moved from the plum Thursday 9pm slot to a 10pm slot. The Mentalist is most likely take it place either next season or the season after.

I would love to see it renewed and brought back as a midseason replacement, but it won't happen. I love Old Christine as well, but I'm not really worried because ABC is probably gonna take if from CBS. Gary Unmarried should be canceled.
