That's a new one. But it does allow CBS to exclude the overall lower numbers for Easter Sunday. (And if they were winning the time slots with those numbers, the other networks were doing even lower.
I have to say though, that I think Cold Case may have a chance to return next year after all. Their numbers have been up with Undercover Boss as a lead in.

There may not be enough time. UB ends next week; guess it'll depend on how well CC can perform in the final two weeks following its break for the ACMs.
Yeah, not the best news ratings-wise, but definitely expected. I'm pretty sure it'll get much better next week, thanks to the Masters (and Tiger's return), as well as those UB fanatics that aren't following Golf enough to realize that the schedule may be pushed back.

Cold Case will not be renewed, there is a greater chance of the sun going nova then CBS picking it up for another season.
CBS has far, far slots to fill for next season. They will not, will not pick up a show that is old (thus thanks to having to resign cast and crew, and producers far more expensive then new programming) and one that doesn't (and hasn't for the last four years) manage to hit solid numbers among adults 18-49.
It won't happen.
Finals are out
TAR 9.12 million viewers #1 in time slot
2.8 in adults 18-49 #1 in time slot
And while this seems like a big drop, with it being Easter it really truly isn't.
What really shows is we increased again in total viewers from 60 Minutes (not normal) and we doubled it's demo.
And to put this in perspective teh strongest summer we have had on Sundays was All Stars. And its the only other time we actually aired on Easter. And guess what, with it being 3 years ago (and viewership dropping on networks each year) we actually had more viewers and tied the demo.
Hooky:
Wow, this entire season is so successful, but the viewership numbers are so deceptively low. :lol:
mswood:
Total viewers (in relationship to how much revenue generated) is almost entirely meaningless.
As for viewers actually we are doing really well for the spring, where networks typically see as much as a 20% decline over the fall. As with better weather allows people nationwide more avenues for their leisure time.

I suspect any shrinkage will be minimal, since the overrun was so short.
