CBS - More Shows Axed and Saved

not Moonlight, noooooo! 
Legen...(wait for it)...dary!!!
Shocking news about Rules of Engagement. It's not the funniest thing out there, but it works.
^ Many people thought CBS had one too many comedies, especially with them producing more but they could be making a 2nd comedy slot. I think its fair to safe CBS wil dump at least one show next year and the favourites will be...
HIMYM or BBT...however ABC has already been spotted circling either show should CBS axe them so I wouldn't worry about them yet even if CBS ever did cancel them before the producers/writers intended endings.

HIMYM is CBS's youngest skewing show. Even though it doesn't have the ratings of a "Two and a Half Men", it does well enough in the right demos that the pickup isn't really that much of a surprise to me.
HIMYM is one of the best shows on TV...a tremendous cast and stellar writers. Plus a production crew that makes the show a lot of fun. I misread the OP at first read and when I thought it had been axed, my heart sank just a little bit. Now it's doing a little Snoopy dance. 
Yay, more Mamet goodness next year. I'm kind of annoyed that they didn't return this year, to be honest.
Too bad about Moonlight. I just started watching it.

Now they're talking about Moonlight on the CW.
But it doesn't fit the demo. They'll have to recast the show entirely with spoiled rich girls and retitle it Vampire Prep School!

Did it even get a chance to jump itself?
Hollywood Reporter, DHD and Ausiello all report that...
Sweet! I hope that CBS doesn't go back on this, like the reruns that were to air starting this last April.

The few episodes I've seen of it have actually been fairly funny, unusual for a comedy series these days. I'm glad to hear it's still around
I'm starting to feel sorry for Linda Park. All three of the major series she's been on have been canceled early on.
From rumors a big reason Shark is getting cancelled isn't solely its ratings but the behind the scenes problems they have with James Woods. Who is said to not be so keen on doing the show.
Whether thats true or not, I honestly don't know.
As to Moonlight (and will really depend on how low the Warner will go on the cost) on the CW, remember this is through an independent producer that i renting the night (Sunday). They always planned for an 18-49 year audience. The reason CW got rid of WWE contract is because they have to pay a lot for it, and don't get any ad revenue from the two hours (they get space allotment for in house ads. But with that not having a compatible audience (both in age and in gender, even more so then the typical 18-49 audience, it wasn't financial sound.
