Aren't a lot of their shows down since they moved, and a lot of the shows in the new timeslots doing worse than what was there last year?

The article says that overall CBS is 7% up from last year, but that The Defenders and Hawaii 5–O are down 27% and 12% compared to the shows in those spots last year.

Moving CSI: NY to Friday was a big move. It's definitely giving Blue Bloods a good lead in, but I'm not sure what it means for that show. Of course lower ratings on Friday is easier to accept so maybe it'll last longer.

I wondered if H50 might drop. I thought there may have been a lot of people like me who tuned in out of curiosity to compare it to the original and found it uninteresting, despite all the action.

I was a bit surprised about CSI Miami's move. I haven't watched that show in years so I thought they were taking one of their flagships and beginning the journey to the stockyard. But the NY Times article said it's aiding a Sunday night comeback. I didn't know that night needed a comeback as TAR and UB seem like pretty strong performers.

Most of the shows I watch are on CBS. I watch maybe 1 show apiece on ABC & NBC. Still, I haven't had any interest in sictoms in years. I'd rather watch All in the Family on TV Land.

But, at least compared to the other networks, CBS seems to have a lot more luck picking shows people actually watch.

I think in the long term most of these moves will be damaging. Mike and Molly is now 3 million down from what Big Bang Theory got, and Hawaii 5-0 is 3 million down from CSI Miami. Big Bang Theory is down in its new slot as well.
