CBS announced today that they have picked up three of its freshman dramas for next season. Those three shows are Scorpion, NCIS: NoLA and Madame Secretary. Still awaiting their fate is Stalker and The McCarthys. Translation, even though the networks says they are contenders, I think we can all assume that they are done.
On that note, when I was kid, I learned that assume means “you don’t want to make an A$$ out of U and Me” from the original The Odd Couple television series. Over the weekend, I watched the remake with Thomas Lennon and Matthew Perry, and I would be surprised if it wasn’t picked up for a second season. When it comes to CSI: Cyber and Battle Creek, I would be surprised if they are back for a round 2. Cyber is shockingly so boring for an interesting topic, but except for Scorpion, I find all of CBS’s procedurals to be that way. Battle Creek is unlike anything else on CBS, and that is not a good thing. Their viewers like their dramas and they like that they are all the same. I know Person of Interest, Madame Secretary and The Good Wife are not like the other shows on the network, and how are those shows doing in the ratings? They get ABC numbers. Good for ABC, bad for CBS numbers.
