The Unit and 10 - 11 P.M. Cold Case I believe that these are reversed.. I always set my machine to capture The Unit at or near 10 PM (Serious time shifts during NFL season) and it was always followed by local news. For 2008 CBS Sunday you have 9 – 10 P.M. The Unit

Bill - I'm pretty sure Flashpoint has been renewed for midseason. http://www.thefutoncritic.com/news.aspx?id=8122 CTV has already renewed it, and it des moderately well for CBS, so its likely to turn up somewhere on next years schedule. I expect NCIS: LA to get a full season, Three Rivers to do well, with additional episodes, and The Good Wife to tank. Andrea - It seems Tuesdays will have a lot of consistency. But if you don't like reality shows or NCIS, then it may not be the best night. Also don't forget CW 8:00 90210 9:00 Melrose Place Personally I'm waiting for Scrubs and Better off Ted in December.

I don't know about its compatability with " The Good Wife". As for Accidently on Purpose it should do well in its cushy time slot, and Big Bang Theory should retain Two and A Half Men's audience better the Worst Week or Rules of Engagement. Three Rivers has some potential on Sundays, especially with Desperate Housewives declining. Cold Case will likely best Brothers and Sisters in total viewers. Moving the Mentalist to Thursdays could allow it to end up as Thursdays highest rated show in total viewers. It should also help CBS have a chance to win the night in 18-49 even if Flash Forward does well on ABC. Medium will probably do better on Fridays after Ghost Whisper than Flashpoint, and should win its timeslot in viewers and 18 to 49. Overall CBS looks good going into next season.

Smart move moving the Mentalist to Thursday to sure up the night just when it appears CSI might be on the verge of waning, especially with another NCIS waiting in the wings to take its place on Tuesday. Sundays not so sure but Fridays should definitely be a lock now with the addition of Medium. But something tells me (call it my little voice) CBS is getting a little too cocky playing it so close to the vest this year. It seems like all their reliable hits are at the vulnerable stage were they could grow tired all at once. When NBC had all the big hits, they played that same game then as the fortunes of Friends, Fraiser, ER, etc. fell so did the network until they found themselves left with nothing. They better cross their fingers one of these new programs explodes out of the gate like the Mentalist and they are not just coattail shows (like NCIS 2 might be) or CBS could be find themselves in a very similar position.

Don't know yet about the spin-off. I like The Unit - silly decision. I used to like all 3 CSI shows, but have stopped watching the original one. The spinoffs are much better. CBS actually has the best shows of the 4 big networks. NBC has L&O and nothing else. Fox has American Idol, Lie to Me and Bones. ABC has Brothers and Sisters. I've given up on Lost. The non-network stations seem to be gaining ground - Army Wives/Lifetime, The Closer/TNT, Burn Notice/USA and OF COURSE the SYIFI channel with things like Eureka and the upcoming Stargate Universe. NFL starts SOON! Now that's TV! I like NCIS. Don’t know yet about the spin-off.

Of course it depends on how the spinoff is received, but I would guess it will be compatible and should at least hold NCIS's audience. The Good Wife would only have to do a little bit better retention-wise to keep 09-10 even with 08-09. Tuesdays may actually be on par with last year.

Was the pilot filmed, tested, and scrapped? Is it still on the docket for any possible use, anywhere? I'm not just a Skeet fangirl/Jericho nut here. I really liked the idea of John C. McGinley in a dramatic role, and I figured the post-ER Sherry Stringfeld would bring some drama power too. I seriously wonder if the pilot's been filmed yet, and if it's a confirmed "no pickup" or still possibility. Thanks much!
