Nice to see THE GOOD WIFE still at 9:00, kinda anticipated a swap w/ TM @ 10:00
Oh my, Theo James on my TV every week? Yes, please
I agree with others, while i love blue bloods, do we really need 2 shows about police commissioners back to back on friday nights? Now that i know what golden boy is about, i dont hold out much hope for the show. As smart as cbs is when it comes to scripted shows this is far from it. I love procedural cop/crime shows as much as anybody but even i will admit this is a bit much.
Why does CBS has to do this I want to get behind Golden Boy but if it forces CSI: NY on the way out it’ll be hard to get behind it.
Wouldn’t it had been a lot more simple for CBS to just give the boot to Vegas and put Golden Boy there on Tuesdays at 10pm?
Cannot wait for 2/13!
CSI:NY is gone.
Seriously, CBS? You’re going to try it twice on Tuesdays and then just burn it off on Fridays? Why not just send Vegas straight to Fridays and give Golden Boy a real chance?…
NBC is the #1 network so far this season. Not CBS.
Friend Me cast a recurring role AFTER the co-creator’s suicide… so I don’t know how much affect that would have had on the show.
Ironic that, as production on the latest Amazing Race Season recently finished. Earlier than usual actually.
Then we have a few month wait for Season 23 to start filming for the fall.
Theo James & Chi McBride on the same show can only be a good thing.
Two special fairings on Tuesday. My guess is if the second does better than Vegas, then it stays put and Vegas is the one forced to the Friday night death spot.
Hopefully Whitney and Guys with Kids gets their growth together because I want NBC to surpass CBS in the next few years. They’re starting to make some annoying decisions lately.
airings, not fairings. God I hate autocorrect.
@ One
Agree. Two weeks isn’t long enough to test the waters & it may have a better shot there than “Vegas.”
If a character in a proposed new show doesn’t have a chalk outline drawn around it, CBS is not interested. Apparently, the senior citizens who watch CBS shows take comfort in watching other people die instead of them. As more of the Crime Broadcasting System’s core audience is pushing up daisies, Les Moonves is gonna need a new strategy beyond law enforcement and freaky serial killer of the week shows.
Loving that Rules of Engagement slot, huge potential for big numbers and a 8th season renewal.
@HalCapone
No, if that time ever happens Moonves will have retired with his millions of $, he will not care about any new strategy.
Let’s hope that season 26 is as good as season 25 has been
