Even if CBS cancels I read somewhere that CW would possibly pick it up, or Sci-fi could pick it up. It would work perfectly in conjunction with Battlestar Galactica.

It'd probably be too expensive for both the CW and Sci-Fi.

It's unfortunate that in recent years whenever CBS trys to experiment with it's drama s and airs something that isn't a crime drama it doesn' work out. Even Ghost Whisperer and The Unit are just mediocre in ratings.

Imagine if the procedurals all dropped by 20%. CBS would quickly turn very gray.

Those programs could end up being hits when CBS's crime dramas finally grow stale in viewers eyes. I think CBS will end up in bigger trouble than ABC was a few years ago. Imagine if the procedurals all dropped by 20%. CBS would quickly turn very gray.

By their very nature it is not likely that all serialized shows will collapse at the same time. Each serial is different so chances of all them failing at the same time are slim. If Lost tanks tomorrow, it does not mean that Ugly Betty would also tank and vice-verse. On the other hand all the procedurals are basically the same, every procedural on CBS with an exception of Cold Case is in someways a CSI spin-off; 'Death porn' as someone on this forum termed it.

The term death porn is actually pretty acurate when talking about CSI. How does every episode begin? People in a club- dancing, drinking, heavy groping. Then there's usually three of them that go upstairs to the bedroom, clothes come off, yadda yadda yadda, someone's dead! Call the CSI team!
