The fact is Jerico if nothing else will hurt the chances of Moonlight getting picked up. They had a lot of buzz and a great write in campaign and CBS picked up 7 new episodes to dismal numbers. They have to be scared with the dropoff from GW. They need to decide betwwn Shark and The Unit and the numbers favor The Unit It is a tough time slot and The Unit delivers better quote: Originally posted by robert: quote: Originally posted by xwiseguyx: Marc - this is a case of having to look beyond just the numbers in making predictions.

And what's the advantage CBS gets from the fact we talk here and on other forums or chat rooms about Moonlight?

If Mork & Mindy counts as 'Sci-fi', Ghost Whisperer most definitely counts as Sci-fi.
Who says Mork & Mindy counts as "sci-fi"? Go to any convention, ask around. Just don't forget to get earplugs so you don't get deaf from all the loud laughter.

Jericho was a unique situation, in that everyone knew it was only back for a short wrap-up and new viewers won't invest in something that 1) has already aired the majority of its story and 2) already looks cancelled in the long run. Whereas, if Moonlight is renewed without the "we're throwing you rabid fans a handful of eps to find new viewers" tagline CBS gave Jericho, new viewers might tune in. I can see Moonlight's numbers raising next season if it's picked up. A second season of a genre series can show promise of possible longevity, and encourages people to check out a show that might just stay around. |

The Sci-Fi channel. They just made a deal to show M&M reruns.

I will chuckle if CBS gives Moonlight a 7 episode renewal and a promise for mid-season viewing. I am inclined to think that it will be picked up for another 13+, though, just because the WGA strike limited the development options. |

I kind of hope he is right about ROE leading off Wednesday nights at 8:00. I would love to once and for all see how that show does without its Two and Half Men crutch. It always amazes me how well that show does, but it simply keeps the Men audience, and it is the only CBS sitcom to not go up against DWTS. Personally, I would move HIMYM to anchor the new night, but I would love to see if ROE crashed and burned on Wednesday at 8:00. quote: Originally posted by WlcmBlueBloodWorstEnemy: Actually he did pretty well last year with CBS in terms of naming pilots going to series. The only thing he got wrong was putting Babylon Fields on his schedule but that was because there was a last minute complication and CBS had to switch it for Moonlight. CBS fully intended to put on Babylon Fields until the last few days. He did as well with ABC. FOX he had a few more problems but FOX is very unpredictable in the scheduling. I'd give him an A for accuracy for CBS, A- for ABC (Marlowe tripped him up), and a B- for FOX. You got your extra hour of comedy you argued for, congrats! quote: Originally posted by Twins12: Pavan's pretty good, but he knows much more about ABC than CBS. quote: Originally posted by Obveeus: Sitcoms Online has their Upfront speculation regarding CBS posted: link. Some very wierd stuff. A new hour of comedy on Wednesday...but headed up with RoE? Sunday: Shark gone. Canopeners added and Cold Case pushed to 10pm Thursday: Without a Trace gone to Tuesdays. Friday: Unchanged. The Unit is also gone.

This sounds bad, I know, but I hope it does. It's almost as bad as According to Jim. I can't even stand watching it anymore. |

Because they are taped next to each other and AI starts at 8 and DWTS at 9. |

I really would love to see what ROE could do on its own. It has been the most nurtured CBS sitcom for two years now. Look at its time slot, it is after Men and before CSI Miami, and it is the only CBS sitcom to not go up against DWTS. Look how the other CBS sitcoms have had to overcome. HIMYM and BBT both having to endure the horrible 8:00 spot and going up against DWTS, even Old Christine going to 8:30 was a test. I want ROE to be tested, and let's see what it can do. I bet it does not make it. quote: Originally posted by Justin: quote: I kind of hope he is right about ROE leading off Wednesday nights at 8:00.

I think ROE has a chance. Surprising to some, there is a deccent fanbase out there. The question is how much is acceptable to CBS. I worry about the comedy behind it that relies ROE as a lead-in. That could be the rough spot. That being said, you definately are on to something when you say that CBS is pushing things out in the fall. If the predicted schedule resembles the one released in a week, it seems as if CBS is holding back buzzworthy dramas and a few reliables and putting on boarderline shows in the fall as a safeguard to see how networks counter program mid-season. It is almost as if CBS is waiting for a few shows to fail in the fall to say I told you so and bring in the mid-season ones. Whether ROE is one of those shows remains to be seen. quote: Originally posted by Twins12:

Yeah, it is time for ROE to get pushed out of the nest, and see what it can do. When you think about it, ROE is the only untested CBS sitcom. HIMYM was moved to 8:00 in its second season, BBT was moved to 8:00 in its first season, and Old Christine moved from 9:30 to 8:30 in its second season. It is time for ROE to get out on its own, because CBS needs the 9:30 slot to launch new sitcoms. I wonder if CBS protects ROE, because it is the only sitcom they own. Personally, I think it flops big time. It is purely a function of whatever Two and Half Men gives it. quote: Originally posted by WlcmBlueBloodWorstEnemy: I think ROE has a chance.
