CBS needs to rescue some shows from The CW - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It's a shame that the CW is killing (ratings wise) "Everybody Hates Chris" and "Veronica Mars." CBS should put those two in their own line up.

Cancel "The Class" and put "Chris" as its replacement.

I agree.

I disagree. No need to cancel "The Class."

It's a shame that can't magically happen. I'm sure there would be a few ratings challenged programs out there that would benefit from having 20 million people watchig at once.

The Class is a good show, but it is indeed under-performing. I think Chris would fit on CBS...but where? Veronica Mars would never perform to CBS levels. It is doing pretty good on The CW...not Gilmore Girls or Top Model numbers, but it is going up. CBS should forget the crime repeats on Saturdays and have two sitcoms and a drama on Saturdays, followed by 48 Hours.

Here's an idea for CBS: pick up Chris (as well as Reba) from the CW, combined with The King of Queens and (I wish) a possible return of Arrested Development (or Yes, Dear/Still Standing) and have a second 2-hour comedy block on Wednesdays from 8-10.

Veronica Mars is doing better on The CW than it was in UPN. It really was an inspired (though totally obvious!) decision to pair it up with Gilmore Girls.

The Class should move to The CW, where it can keep me entertained for years to come.

tvlover85 · 10-27-2006, 01:01 AM

Who says it (The Class) can't be just as entertaining for years to come on CBS? That being said, though, I could see it (as well as How I Met Your Mother) fitting into the CW lineup and CW's demographics.

At one point over the summer Veronica Mars was on CBS. How did that happen?

Scoobiedoo30 · 10-27-2006, 02:06 AM

I think Veronica Mars aired on Wednesday Night's at 9:00 pm Easten 8:00 pm Central on CBS

The problem with The Class on CBS is ratings. The show is underperforming. If it was on The CW and half the CBS viewers kept watching, it would be a hit.

It was the summer of 2005 (between Seasons 1 and 2). UPN was CBS owned. That's why we have The CW now....Veronica did pretty good during that summer too. I too think it should be moved to CBS. Maybe behind "Ghost Whisperer?" (I think if Joan of Arcadia were still around, her and Ronnie would be great together.)

I throught it was The Summer of 2005 that CBS aired Veronica Mars
