criminalxmindsI'm extremely frustrated, now that I've examined the CBS-schedule for CM - after today's episode there's another 3-week hiatus planned. How do they expect people to keep interest in a series when they keep interrupting the season for 3 weeks after just 2 episodes. And why does this season only have 22 episodes (my guess, since a season generally runs just to the middle of May)? Okay, we had the Olympic Games which account for 2 weeks without CM - but 24 episodes would still have been possible...
It seems as if they spent all their efforts on one mediocre episode (The Fight), respectively on the hype around 100 - and don't know quite how to continue from there... which is majorly disappointing, especially the non-follow up so far to the events of the first half of the season. If that's a spectre of what this series has still to offer in coming seasons, I'm seriously underwhelmed.
Sorry, I had to get that out of my system. Let's just hope the last 4 episodes of season 5 at least reflect some of what makes CM such a good programme, so that I'm inclined to switch on my TV again next season... right now, I'm very ambivalent about this series unfortunately.

Date: Apr. 14th, 2010 03:36 pm (UTC)What it is, all the studios are having to cut the budgets on the show, so one of the things are cut is the length of the season, because the average ep costs about $1 million dollars an ep so because the budget for all the shows has been cut by about 20%. So it makes sense that they would cut the actual length of the series. And they are probably saving the eps for the May sweeps. But House only has 22 eps this season but they did have a two hour opener, so maybe there might be a two hour finale for CM.
