This probably would have done better had it aired on a different Friday. CBS aired repeats of its surviving Friday dramas to good numbers, particularly in the total viewer category. Blue Bloods is yet another CBS drama that seems to repeat well. NBC's Sc...

PILOT REVIEW: Skating with the Stars

SKATING WITH THE STARS Hosted by Vernon Kay and Tanith Belbin Judges: Johnny Weir, Dick Button, and Laurie Ann Gibson After a highly successful fall edition of Dancing with the Stars , ABC is helping to bridge the gap with Skating with the Stars . I will admit that I don't watch Dancing regularly and I only half watched the 1 hour, 47 minute premiere of Skating, but there's no guarantee the massive audience for Dancing will follow Skating for many reasons. First of all, skating is not quite as electric or dynamic when you are watching average skaters. Secondly, this format has already attempted and failed in FOX's 2006 Skating with Celebrities . Thirdly, the celebrities, host, and judges are all not household names. Granted Dancing with the Stars started out this way as well but are audiences going to want to watch Rebecca Budig and Vince Neil skate after watching the well-known Jennifer Grey and buzzworthy Bristol Palin dance? The upside to this show is...

CANCELLATION ALERT: Medium

In our first veteran series cancellation of the season, CBS has axed the long-running Medium which will ends its run on January 21. The long-running drama ran for 5 years on NBC before moving to CBS in Fall 2009. The writing was on the wall for the show after CBS slashed its episode order to 13 a few weeks back. A bubble show for renewal last spring, it has languished in a sleepy Friday 8pm timeslot. Through eight episodes this fall, it has averaged 6.4 million viewers and a low 1.3 in the demo. By the time its run ends, it will have amassed 130 episodes. Its best season came in its first season (midseason 2004-2005 on NBC) when it averaged 13.9 million viewers. There is no word yet on what will replace Medium but many speculate it will be either The Defenders , which has underwhelmed in its Weds 10pm slot or one of CBS's two new midseason dramas - Chaos or Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior , though the latter doesn't seem likely to get an 8pm slot. There are five remaining e...
