CBS is giving seven of its old shows the heave-ho to make room for new fall fare with a shake-'em-up schedule for the 2010-11 season.

I liked it too

CBS has also scheduled a modern revival of the 1970s cop drama "Hawaii Five-O" with Daniel Dae Kim

David Caruso has been auditioning for the part of Steve McGarrett ever since he got his leading role in CSI Miami.

Drat. I was just starting to like Miami Medical. Oh well. It looks like they are wiping out most of their Friday night lineup - the spot where shows go to die, anyway.

[al baby]

WHY ?

[dfwgator]

A revival of Hawaii Five 0

That has "FAIL" written all over it.

[struggle]

JUST DONT TOUCH MY BIG BANG THEORY

[KarlInOhio]

A revival of Hawaii Five 0? That’s a sacrilege.

Better than doing Puerto Rico Five-One. :-)

A lot of women liked Ghost Whisperer. Wonder if cable will pick it up.

It is already in syndication on SyFy and a couple of other channels (like A&E or something like it).

It is looking likely that ABC will pick it up.

[TomGuy]

Isn't that the network with CSI:Cabot Cove, or something like that?

CSI: Bug Tussle
CSI: Crabwell Corners
CSI: Pixlie
CSI: Hooterville (or Hootersville, as Lisa Douglas would say)
CSI: Petticoat Junction

Once NBC gets wind of that, we'll see a rash of L&O's from similar communities.

Criminal Minds is about the only CBS show that we watch in our household. They occasionally get a little bit annoyingly political (with a slant toward political correctness) on the show, but for the most part it is a good crime drama show.

I gave up caring about CBS when they cancelled the Jack Benny Program.

[llevrok]

Cut Letterman and they'd free up millions of dollars to develop some decent shows

But I digress......

[VRWCmember]

They were going to do “CSI: Little Rock” but they found that the show just wouldn’t work because there were no dental records for anybody and everybody’s DNA matched too closely.

[RabidBartender]

CBS Evening News has lower ratings than all of those shows, yet stays on.

Idiot Katie gives a new meaning to the word “anchor”, weighing down CBS like that.

[dfwgator]

I hear they are going to run old Andy Griffith Show reruns and call it “CSI: Mayberry”.

[KarlInOhio]

How can you leave off CSI:Mayberry?

CBS axes 7 shows to make room for fall newcomers

What did CBS axe them? What was their answer?

[KarlInOhio]

21 seconds. 21 lousy seconds.

Drat. I was just starting to like Miami Medical.

I though MM was a pretty good medical show for a change. Maybe TNT will pick it up. TNT has some of the best drama shows on TV now.
