CBS picks up Medium then goes ahead and insults NBC! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

NBC may have canceled 'Medium,' but the show's producer, CBS Television Studios, is not ready to pull the plug just yet.

Insiders say that corporate sibling CBS may pick up the show, and EW speculates it could be paired with Friday-night hit "Ghost Whisperer."

But either way, the studio is not happy, releasing the following statement Tuesday morning: "NBC's cancellation of 'Medium' is inexplicable to us."

Then it got ugly: "The ratings don't lie. 'Medium' outperforms many of NBC's renewed shows. Despite inconsistent scheduling, 'Medium,' under the creative vision of Glenn Gordon Caron, one of the most preeminent producers in television, has always performed with distinction both creatively and commercially. Multiple-award-winning actress Patricia Arquette and the cast have delivered a stellar series for five consistent seasons. The awards and ratings speak for themselves. We believe the show has a significant future and await developments."

I love that comment by CBS. And, it definitely speaks the truth. Goes to show the class of CBS by saying that, because it definitely has been a stellar 5 seasons for Medium. Could this hint anymore that CBS will be picking it up?

the best part is that Medium is going to trounce whatever show NBC tries to put up against it in that timeslot

If ever a network deserves to be insulted, it's NBC.
