Nice to see repeats of The Mentalist still pulling in the ratings.
Looking forward to the new episodes in the Fall.
Its kind of scary how well the CBS shows do in repeat…
^And to think just a year ago CSI repeats were doing 9.0 in HH.
They should air repeats of Survivor and The Amazing Race.
bring Flashpoint back for new in the summer
CBS shows generally have a lot of stand alone episodes compared to ABC’s soapfest and NBC being somewhere in the middle. It’s a wonder the other networks don’t copy that more.
Vetinari – because ABC hasn’t had a hit with the procedural yet.
I think The Forgotten will be the first procedural hit of ABC.. strong lead in (DWTS Results), no competition (SVU and WAT are gone and The Good Wife is DOA) and it’s from Bruckheimer.
CBS is doing better with repeats, now I know why they don’t make “summer shows”.
