Robert, in that article Michael Wright is saying 6 “in the summer.”

In early January 2009 TNT picked up 3 pilots and laid out a schedule for 8 shows total. Closer, RTB, Leverage, DB, Hawthorne, SG (6 in the summer) and Trust Me & MOCA (2 in the winter).

I don’t know why they would suddenly limit themselves to 6 only in the summer and no winter (or cut back on nights in the summer in order to preserve winter).

Dave, I’d look for six total rather than 8:

@ Dee: TNT had 8 series the past year: The Closer, Saving Grace, Raising the Bar, Dark Blue, Leverage, Hawthorne, Trust Me, Men of a Certain Age,

Trust Me and Raising the Bar are gone, Saving Grace will be soon, that leaves 5, which means they could pick up all 3 pilots without canceling anything.

@dave, Men of a Certain Age’s ratings are dropping each week. Since the closer’s season is over it will fall harder. I predict the ratings will be somewhere between 2 to 3 million viewers come January. Remember that TNT has yet to pick up its 3 pilots that are vying for a timeslot. TNT cant have 10 shows. Something has to be cancelled.

Does anyone know how Doctor Who did on 26th on BBC America?

“Raising the Bar” couldn’t survive without “The Closer” in front of it, whereas it looks like Men has a shot. If you look at the second half of RTB’s first season when they didn’t have “The Closer” in front, they tanked mightily, pulling somewhere around 1.5-2 million.

So 3.1 ain’t bad for Men without a real lead-in.

“what was that 24 hours thing about? it seemed to do pretty well.”

I think it’s a marothon consisting in 12 consecutive re-runs of the A Christmas Story movie

@RJ, Raising the Bar held over 3 million viewers and it still got cancelled. It had higher ratings than Hawthorne. Dark Blue had around 2 million viewers but got renewed because TNT wants to keep their relationship with Jerry Bruckheimer. Men of Certain Age can easily be replaced by one of TNT’s three television pilots called: Rizzoli(starring Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander), Delta Blues(starring Jason Lee and Alfre Woodard) or Untitled Noah Wyle/Steven Spielberg alien invasion project(starring of course Noah Wyle and Moon Bloodgood). TNT needs new shows and it cant keep all the old ones. So somethings has to get the axe.

Men of a Certain Age may have a chance if it holds above the 3 million w/o The Closer as a lead in.
