Even if they are old, clearly CC has a following. Even with delayed start and repeat lead-in, people still tuned in.
Oh hai there Glee.
Happy for Survivor, showing solid grow on ratings over the last weeks. And Peanuts staying strong on TV through the years.
dont know if anyone has noticed latley but ever since CBS moved Cold Case to 9pm, it has been appearing in the Top 25!
I used to watch Cold Case, but haven’t in two years since the writers got an obvious and severe case of white guilt. A white person committed the crime 100% of the time, and usually at the expense of a non-white victim. The way they force their views into the show is becoming increasingly laughable.
