what about their other comedy??
ROE is back
.. nice slot
Another COP show… way to go CBS…
So Friend Me isn’t on there… maybe it will be on after Rules?
Survivor has still not gotten old to me
Friend Me creator commited suicide so there is a chance that this sitcom won’t premiere at all.
So they are going to have back to back shows about NYC police commissoners? That’s idiotic!!!!
Why is the Season finale of CSY:NY that early? Was the episode order cut? If it was, why not move it to the cancel column in the C/R index
i was never exited for friend me and honestly i dont even remember what the shows is about so even if does not premiere i wont be thinking what would be like but sad that creator killed himself
I’m just stunned that CBS didn’t give CSI:NY two more episodes to finish at 200. GB will be hurt because in March it will be pre-empted for two weeks because of March Madness. So not sure what thinking is here. It will be in regular slot for two weeks and then off for two. Not smart.
@ eridap
CSI: NY only has a 17 episode order.
another crime/cop show how original
ROE is back! Yes! It should get more episodes. And air in January.
Bye Bye CSI NY. If Golden Boy somehow is a success maybe they will keep it on fridays. The push on Tuesdays at 10 is a vote of confidence and not boding well for Vegas. Unlike Miami Medical, Chaos, and NYC 22, Golden Boy may actually have a chance and with Elementary looking to be the only other series from this season renewed for 2013-2014, Golden Boy could also be renewed. My guess is Good Wife and CSI NY are gone if Golden Boy succeeds, and if not maybe just Good Wife if no syndication deal is made. Rules of Engagement may have a chance at an 8th year but the writers should plan a finale out anyway due to the success of every other veteran comedy.
Wow, it looks like Friend Me won’t be on at all, or won’t be replacing Rules like I thought. If that is the case, Rules could possibly get an unexpected renewal since it got one this season with the exact same lineup. Of course, that will all come down to how its ratings are this season.
I’m also curious about the cast, since they must be getting tired of the whole “we’ll put you on the schedule when we feel like it” stuff, and their contacts are probably up. I know David Spade said in an interview a while back that he wasn’t planning on returning after this season, so it’ll be interesting come May.
Bye bye CSI: NY!
I still don’t understand why CBS is persistent in trying to have a new drama on Friday work. Establish dramas with loyal viewers should be moved to Friday night such as The Mentalist. Vegas is doing horribly on Tuesday night so why not just keep Golden Boy on Tuesday. CSI:NY should have been given a full season order of 22 episodes and end in late March or early April and billed as series finale.
@Cory
Good point.
Ugh, why can’t they say it is the final season of CSI:NY
Hope Golden Boy will flop. I love too much CSI: NY.
@ Chrisss
CSI: NY has a 18 episodes order !
