As it has done in previous years, the CBS network issued early and practically perfunctory renewal orders to 14 of its prime time shows.
Update: According to the trades, the network has already cancelled five shows, too: "King of Queens," "Still Standing," and "Yes, Dear" and new shows "Close To Home" and "Out of Practice." Boy, the way they're wrapping up CBS's business, you'd think Les Moonves and company had another network to run.
In a move that renews a large portion of television's Number One prime time lineup in one swoop, CBS announced today it has delivered full-season orders for the 2006-2007 season to 14 series representing 13 hours of programming.
The renewed series represent a deep and diverse roster of top-rated dramas, comedies, reality series and newsmagazines. The mass renewal announcement includes three new series from television's top-rated freshman class -- CRIMINAL MINDS, GHOST WHISPERER and HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER -- all of which have delivered impressive time period growth.
In addition to the freshman series, returning series receiving full season orders for 2006-2007 are 60 MINUTES, THE AMAZING RACE, COLD CASE, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, CSI: MIAMI, CSI: NY, NCIS, NUMB3RS, SURVIVOR, TWO AND A HALF MEN and WITHOUT A TRACE.
Sigh. No hope for Love Monkey, huh?
