Poor LUX.

Yeah I've been worried about Detroit 1-8-7 and didn't realize NOF had gotten so bad too. Presumably they'll both be cancelled. I'll miss D187, and while I watch NOF, can't say I'll miss it.
I think these TV execs should hire me as to what shows to greenlight and when I say I like something, they should NOT put it on the air. Because if I like it, apparently nobody else is going to.
News Specials FAIL.
CSI:NY is doing better than that on Friday.
So in other words, it's The Defenders misfortune that they got plugged into the Weds night lineup. Because I'm guessing the people who watch it on Weds, would still watch it on Friday.
I'm sorry, but I just think the way they do stuff is just so retarded. These many viewers on one night is bad, but another night it's okay. So instead of moving to that other night to see if the viewers follow, we'll just kill it all together.
But whatever, I'll enjoy it for however many episodes we have left.
That had something to do with James Woods's behavior too. I really liked that show.
Blue Bloods is a little inconsistent. A lot of shows seemed to have weaker scripts after 4-5 eps.
What I'm saying is, that's it's numbers are very similar to The Defenders but because Blue Bloods is on Friday night, well that's okay. It just kind of seems like it's the "luck of the draw" based on where CBS schedules you. Friday nights, well you can skate by on the less than stellar ratings. But if you draw Weds night, "OMG, off with their heads!"
I don't know that I really buy this theory about "retention of audience (It's not 1950 anymore, people have remotes and WAY more than 2-3 channels to choose from) but for the sake argument, I'll stipulate it's plausible. In that light, what f'ing brain surgeon paired Criminal Minds, a fairly heavy and often depressing drama, with a light hearted almost borderline comedic show like The Defenders? Well DUH!, of course it going to be a different audience. Maybe they should have put it some place like, oh I don't know, say MONDAY NIGHT which is full of comedies.

I think CSI NY and The Defenders will be switching in midseason after Survivor and Medium are over and CM: Suspect Behavior premieres.
