Despite a lack of official renewals, there were only a few dramas actually on the bubble for CBS and the youngest one - Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior - did not make the cut. CBS has had great success turning its crime shows into franchises but this one did not work despite the success of its long-running parent show. The spinoff had a great debut - 13.1 million viewers and a 3.3 demo but it did not sustain that by any means and settled into underwhelming ratings. CBS must have seen the syndication value in other bubble shows and decided to let this one go. It has averaged 9.8 million viewers and a 2.4 in the demo.
