CBS Cancels ‘Doubt,’ the First Primetime Network Drama with a Transgender Series Regular
Indiewire ^ | February 24, 2017

Posted on 02/24/2017 5:15:27 PM PST by SMGFan

It took two years and two tries for “Doubt” to make the CBS lineup – but now the show has been canceled after just two weeks. The Eye network has pulled the plug on the show effective immediately; next week, CBS will air a repeat of “Bull” in the show’s Wednesday 10 p.m. (ET) time slot. The second season of “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders” will then slide into the spot permanently on Wednesday, March 8, following a two-hour “Survivor” premiere.

Oy veh! I didn’t know about the Transgender person. It had Eliot Gould (and at least one other good actor/actress), it looked good.

I recorded this, but I guess hubby gets to delete it now.

Apparently the subject matter, isn’t as popular as the media, the dems would have us believe.

DVR’d it and deleted it when I read about the cast. I don’t need that in my living room.

We really liked Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders. Glad it’s coming back!

If I wanted to watch a mentally ill person in my living room, I’d invite my SIL over.

Archie comics are liberal hell on earth now. They took the most wholesome brand in America and thoroughly destroyed it.

That is disappointing but not surprising either. I remember when I was around 12, I thought Veronica was hot but my best friend was enamored of Betty.

For nearly a half century, TV has been trying to push the liberal agenda, but it often backfires on them. They wanted us to hate and ridicule Archie Bunker, but generations loved him and Edith, and many people refer to Rob Reiner as “Meathead” to this day.

LOL...I love when that happens.

They didn’t kill him off so he could come back.

USENET still has rec.arts.tv as a pretty active group, even when the BS political stuff is filtered out.

Any way, "Riverdale" with all its warts was talked about. Can't remember if it was projected to survive the obvious in-your-face "updating" of the characters.

Well there's no accounting for taste. /Mock Turtle

I like, or did like, the campy "iZombie". I think they JTS at last season's finale, and probably won't like where the show's going. That is, they killed off most of the better scripted evil characters to bring in new ones, changing the show's vibe.

Guess I'm over the hill.

What about MASH?

They were laying the groundwork.

Network programming executives are left scratching their heads over the dismal performance of what they were sure would be a blockbuster hit, appealing as it did to the massive cross-dressing, gender-confused teenage demographic that constitutes a generous .001 percent of its viewing market.

At this point Nielsen boxes are basically dead given that Nielsen now sucks minute -by-minute viewing data from millions of DirecTV and Dish set top boxes:

FNC, for example, can now see which commentators get tuned out and decide whether to re-up their contracts. George Will apparently was REALLY unpopular. I always skip The Kraut and Karl Rove, so if enough people do that, then maybe they’ll get kicked to the curb as well.
