First across the board at ten. Definitely makes sense to cancel right away.
Well, maybe Vegas will be renewed for summer 2014 after Unforgettable is finally cancelled.
I think Vegas is a very good show. I prefer it to NCIS Los Angeles. Anymore I hate to get invested in a new show because it gets cancelled after one season. I didn’t start watching NCIS until season 6. If Vegas is cancelled I am done with new shows until they have been on a few years.
next year i want cbs killing the other network tuesdays to be like this
08. ncis
09. new ncis <try la on monday move 5o to other night
10. vegas 2013(half season) & golden boy (only if peak up for half seaso) if dont and unfogetable do good in the summer then brin it in as (unforgatable summer hit show)
Drew, I totally agree with you. I rarely if ever watch new network shows for the reason you mentioned. Why invest in watching a show if it’s just going to get cancelled. Only reason I started watching Vegas was because of Michael Chiklis, especially after he acted on The Shield and now seeing him act as a bad guy. I hope Vegas continues to do well.
