They can't just keep throwing reruns around Big Brother and call it a day. It doesn't work anymore.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-82557549686392538682013-02-27T22:31:11.214-05:002013-02-27T22:31:11.214-05:00I said it over at TVBTN, and I'll say it here:...I said it over at TVBTN, and I'll say it here: Golden Boy's weakness surprised me, both in numbers and on the creative side.

Moonves wasn't giving a chest-thumping speech.<br /><br />After a disappointing crop of new shows this season, of course CBS wanted more choices for next season. <br /><br />Compared to the dozen-plus new shows put out by ABC & NBC every year, CBS never has a large crop of new shows.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-65488437910639922492013-02-27T18:47:35.928-05:002013-02-27T18:47:35.928-05:00That statement from Moonves is so strange.

Deadline pointed out in a separate article that CBS's pilot order is 53% larger than last year, but he's saying there aren't going to be many new shows? Yeah, right. They've ordered three new dramas each fall for almost a decade, and they'll do the same thing this fall unless they just replace the new dramas with new comedies. Either way, there will be plenty of new product. I really don't understand why he would bother to make that statement. Some kind of weird power play involving the people who have pilots in play at the network?<br /><br />I kind of hope that someone asks about that statement at press tour this summer.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-71262517977407322592013-02-27T17:19:50.667-05:002013-02-27T17:19:50.667-05:00It's interesting that CBS has been basically s...It's interesting that CBS has been basically striking out every 4 years. <br /><br />2012-13: Elementary<br />2008-09: The Mentalist<br />2004-05: Numb3rs, CSI: NYSpothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-56902326697706573572013-02-27T14:32:14.928-05:002013-02-27T14:32:14.928-05:00ABC had the weirdest night: in no way did I expect...ABC had the weirdest night: in no way did I expect Celebrity Wife Swap to come back that strong. Kate Gosselin is apparently still a draw. And it's odd that The Taste fell even though it moved to a higher HUT hour, with less competition, and a decent-sized lead-in. Meanwhile, Body of Proof proved that its audience without a Dancing lead-in is its audience.<br /><br />I hope CBS' programming & scheduling departments can overcome Les Moonves' <a href="http://www.deadline.com/2013/02/cbs-order-few-shows-fall-primetime-schedule/" rel="nofollow">public chest-thumping</a> and get more/better shows on the schedule for next season. Their overall strength earned them a pass this year, but by the end of '13-'14 they'll have to deal with (at a minimum) HIMYM ending, possibly 2.5 Men ending, and the licensing cost of The Big Bang Theory skyrocketing.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-4635245428202815522013-02-27T14:13:25.811-05:002013-02-27T14:13:25.811-05:00I really think a lineup of celebrity wife swap and...I really think a lineup of celebrity wife swap and the taste, together with some other reality or filler (winter wipeout for instance) would be the best choice for abc's sundays during the winter months.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-21795418313843617112013-02-27T13:44:11.708-05:002013-02-27T13:44:11.708-05:00This is so bizarre to me.

I don't see either Vegas or Golden Boy making it to next fall, outside of a face-saving pity renewal.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
