Interesting that in the CBS summer schedule they have moved Without a Trace to Tuesdays at 10, Cold Case to Sundays at 10, and Numbers to Fridays at 9. I wonder if this is a sign for these shows to move to those time slots on their fall schedule. Many people on this forum (including myself) have talked about CBS moving Cold Case to 10 on Sundays, and putting in a comedy block on Sundays. Also, I have said for 2 years they should put Without a Trace on Tuesday nights at 10.

WAT's move is to make room for Swingtown behind CSI. However, it would not be a bad move for the fall either.

Same for CC on Sundays. It it wasn't for new shows on the schedule, CBS would have left the schedule as is.

A move to 10pm next year would make Cold Case turn cold once and for all imo. Behind 60 Minutes or on Fridays is where this creaker belongs. I don't believe for a second that CBS will fix this overrun problem and so here's to CSI:NY and either Shark or WAT filling the remaining hours on Sundays. Tuesdays at 9, Wednesdays at 10, and Thursdays at 10 can all feature new shows. If they want a new show on Fridays, then Tuesdays at 9 could remain the Unit leading into Shark although I'm sure some of these shows are dead meat.

Looking forward to Flashpoint, seeing Amy Jo and Papa Mars together will quite an interesting pair. I loved Amy as the Pink Ranger in the early 90's and loved her even more on Felicity, so she should do the role justice. I'm just glad to have them both back from the grave lol, one minor suck factor is, it's on Fridays at 10pm during the summer. Does CBS not see where this is heading?

I agree why not on Sundays before Cold Case? Jingles seems like the next Secret Talents of the Stars to me.

I do wonder if the change on Friday means the end of Moonlight. Oh well, maybe the CW will pick it up. I think they'll take anything above 1.5 million at this point.

I don't think you can read anything into the summer schedule, on this issue.

Don't forget that Moonlight will only have about 12 episodes, or so, to run if it was on durring the summer. Most of those did have multiple airings already. It simple needed a rest afer a short seaon soa s to not air repats for the 4 or 5 time, come August & September
