I may be in the minority here, but I like the CBS lineup – they took some risks, but all the networks need to take some risks to try to curb audience erosion.
I was preaching about shaking up the key Thursday 9pm slot last week, and finally, someone [CBS] did. THANK YOU CBS! I’m sorry, CSI is ‘done’, as is The Office and Grey’s. Bones – perhaps not; but CSI/Office/Grey’s are all just creatively ‘spent’. Yes, they still get ‘ratings’, but the numbers show advertisers that the eyeballs those shows are getting are not the same as five to ten years ago. CBS is trying to turn the page on the CSI franchise – they need to – they have to try to ‘go young’.
My only complaint about the move is the show they put in it’s place – ‘Person of Interest’. We’ll see, and if I’m wrong, I’ll be the first to admit it.
I predict ‘Person of Interest’ will be moved out of that key slot by mid January/Feb 2012 and placed where it belongs – Friday nights on its way to cancellation along with The River, Prime Suspect and Alcatraz. These shows cannot and will not get a large audience – they are “Friday night” type shows, at best.
I’ve looked at and read everything I can about ‘Person of Interest’, the show and cast, everything I could – I don’t get it. Is this the best CBS had to offer? It ‘tested’ well? Well, we’ll see. It is a ‘Friday night’ type show – it will not get a wide audience at any day or any timeslot, not with that cast. I’m sorry, that cast is ‘not-TV ready’. They need to ‘juice it up’ a bit [Eva Amurri, Adrianne Palicki or Madchem Amick?] before they start filming in July. They go into September with that cast? If so, they’re done, I guarantee it.
The Mentalist will be in that Thursday/9pm slot come February, and Person of Interest will be moved to Friday at 10pm on its way to a ‘special DVD’ offering on Amazon and cancellation next May.
