If CBS did this to cut costs - presumably because advertising revenue is down - then it is proably going to backfire. I gave up on the CSIs when they turned into soap opera, I gave up on NCIS when it started trying to be complicated, NBC lost me when it started dicking around with L&O:SVU and then cancelled L&O - even Chuck can't save the peacock in my eyes, ABC never even had me.
My choice of shows for the upcoming season?
I'm watching 'In Plain Sight' on USA - a show about US Marshals who are their own little dysfunctional family, with the exceptional Mary McCormack in the female lead. I'm waiting with baited breath for the new season of 'Leverage' on TNT - an intelligent and funny show about reformed criminals who bond into a tight knit pseudo-family, with two fantastic and brilliantly played female characters in the ensemble. I'm also waiting for 'Rizzoli & Isles' on TNT - about a Boston homicide detective and a medical examiner, played by Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander.
Anyone see a pattern? CBS can you see?
Network TV is going to be nothing but reality shows and news programmes with even less ad revenue as people jump ship to cable channels to find good drama and comedy.
Anyway, just my two'penneth as someone in the 18-35, male demographic.
(PS. Rizzoli & Isles probably shouldn't count, as I will watch Angie Harmon in a potato sack over, well, even football.)
