This is for those of you who might care. Personally, I rarely watch network TV these days.

CBS is giving seven of its old shows the heave-ho to make room for new fall fare with a shake-'em-up schedule for the 2010-11 season.

I wish they had let "Miami Medical" go a bit longer....I liked it, and don't think many people have watched it.

I only watched "Cold Case" and "Numbers" on occasion but thought they were good shows. I didn't watch the others.

Has anybody seen "The Big Bang Theory"? We just happened to watch it one night, and now hooked on it. I'm not a sitcom watcher, but this show is great!

"The Big Bang Theory"? ....my wife loves it.... she just  :rotf: and  :rotf:.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

We both watch The Big Bang Theory, and both of us like it.  My wife also like Ghost Whisperer, but, meh.

A few people I know seem to really like it.

Clearing the way for the new entries, CBS canceled "The New Adventures of Old Christine," "Ghost Whisperer," "Cold Case," "Miami Medical," "Numb3rs," "Gary Unmarried" and "Accidentally on Purpose."

It's about time.

Well Ghost Whisperer got the axe, if it were up to me 90% of the shows on TV would be replaced.

The only one on the list that I've watched and enjoyed is "Numb3rs"  My mom will be bummed that it is being cancelled.  I couldn't care less about the others on the list.

Sorry to hear about Cold Case. I used to watch New Adventures of Old Christine, but didn't even realize it was still on.

Anyone on here watch Modern Family on ABC?  This has become my new favorite show.

Truthfully I think the only traditional network TV show we watch is on CBS. Momma is addicted to The Amazing Race. But nothing else any of them show is worth watching.

I love the reality shows on CBS I think that is the only reason I watch it. I wish they would get smart and get rid of David Letterman
