CBS has cut the 6th season order of Numb3rs down from 22 to 16, and you don’t have to be a math genius to know that is a bad thing for the show’s future. The show hasn’t been doing that bad in the ratings, it just isn’t doing that good either. At least it is beating The Jay Leno Show, oh wait that is not a hard thing to do.
While the news is bad for one CBS show, the news is legen-wait for it-dary for most of their other shows! According to EW’s Michael Ausiello “CBS has upped the episode orders of How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: LA, CSI: Miami, and Two and a Half Men from 22 to 24, while requesting one additional episode of Criminal Minds, CSI: NY, The Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife, CSI, and The Mentalist, bringing their totals from 22 to 23.” That is great news for all of those shows, but I fear we are very close to finding out that they will not be ordering any additional episodes from Three Rivers. And that show has been getting better and better every week.
