BREAKING UPFRONTS NEWS: CBS Shuffles Schedule, Leaves 'Case' in the Cold

CBS stepped up to the podium today and broke my TV-loving heart.   THEY CANCELED COLD CASE!!!  OK, so technically we found out about it yesterday, but today it was official and I'm officially bummed.  Thankfully, the show went out on a high note and there was a sense of closure in the final episode, but it still stings.  When I have more time, I'll write-up a tribute post to the show.  But right now, we're moving on because CBS sure shook things up today!  Chances are, if you watch a CBS show, it has moved to either a new night, time or both.  Mega hit The Big Bang Theory moves to Thursdays, CSI: Miami relocates to Sundays (in Cold Case's old slot -- sniffle, sniffle.  CSI: Miami fans -- welcome to the fun world of your show starting late week after week due to sports) while sister show CSI: NY gets relegated to Fridays, and Survivor moves to Wednesdays.  That's a lot of shuffling!  Take a closer look at CBS's new fall schedule after the jump.

CBS's fall line-up stinks, they really made a stupid decision in cancelling Cold Case.


Half of their pilots including the remake of Hawaii Five-O are going to be cancelled, without a doubt.

What is wrong with this network, I do have a feeling that CBS knew that they were going to cancel this show, but probably didn't tell the writers at the time.

If they did, without a doubt the " Series Finale," would have been different with closure. These last two episodes wasn't anything, to give both the show and the fans any closure.

So that means it's CSI Miami's last season, right? Isn't this CBS' signal...

I will say that there is one show that I will give a look at and see if it's as good as they are making it out to be. It's the one with Tom Selleck. Blue Bloods? But, don't know since I have such a difficult time staying up for a 10-11 pm show.

Good observation, Naj! CBS moved WAT to Sundays at 10 and canceled it (a season later). Then, moved The Unit there and canceled it. This season, it was CC. I wonder if this will be CSI: Miami's last season...
