We’re in the final run for the network Upfronts as CBS has announced their fall primetime schedule. There’s nothing really notable here…oh wait, is that Medium I see on the new schedule? Just yesterday it was announced that NBC was pulling the plug on the series. It makes sense for CBS to grab Medium since they produce the show, but I have to wonder if putting a not very popular show (that was already cancelled) on Friday nights is really going to be a win for CBS.
Then again CBS has been riding high in the ratings recently, and if any network can afford to float a mediocre show it’s that big unblinking eye. Old Christine, which was on the verge cancellation, has been moved from CBS’ Monday night comedy lineup to help establish some comedy time on Wednesday nights along with Gary Unmarried.
