CBS Cancels Moonlight, Renews Mother
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Drama, Prime Time, Sci-Fi/Horror, CBS, Cancellations, Renewals,
Yesterday, we named those shows recently cut by the major networks. Now we know which CBS programs will be added to that dreaded list.
The freshman dramas receiving the ax include Moonlight and Shark. Although fans of the vampire series did their best to campaign for the cult fave, their passion simply didn’t equate to ratings. (I’m sure the network feared they’d end up with another failed Jericho in their hands.)
Meanwhile, those programs being spared include: How I Met Your Mother, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Rules of Engagement and The Unit. It seems Britney Spears might be good for something after all…

Last night, How I Met Your Mother‘s casting experiment paid off nicely for the comedy. The show - which is not yet on the network’s renewal list - earned its best demo performance ever. By night’s end, CBS was tops in the 18-49 group while ABC was #1 in total viewers.

For the first time in quite a while, it appears we may have had more original episodes on TV last night than repeats. Although CBS’ comedy lineup saw strong numbers, it couldn’t outmatch the debut of Dancing with the Stars. ABC ended up winning the evening in the viewers and demos.
