CBS wanted something "hip" and "edgy" to draw the MP crowd, then panicked.

Central Park West was on the wrong network at the wrong time. 1995/96 CBS was trying to be young and cool to compete with NBC and Fox but it was an epic failure. I consider 1995/96 as CBS primetime's 1990s nadir.

I really wish they would've just let Darren Star finish out the season and do whatever he planned on doing with it. Oh, and just moved it up an hour. It actually had the highest rating in its season when they did a random airing on Sunday, away from the Fox dramas and after it went off the air, Party of Five actually started spiking in the ratings so it was obvious they were bleeding each others viewers.

Ah well. Probably should've been on Fox in the first place but then it wouldn't have gotten the same budget.

I agree.

I felt about CPW the same way I felt about "Friends": don't throw a bunch of young, white people with too much cash and not enough life experience at me and expect me to care. It won't end well for you.
