Freshman Dramas Get Full-Season Orders From CBS

Oct 23, 2012  •  Post A Comment

CBS has given back-nine orders to two of its freshman dramas, bringing their season orders to 22 episodes each, Deadline.com reports.

The dramas are “Elementary” and “Vegas.” “’Elementary‘s’ pickup was a no-brainer as the Sherlock Holmes reboot has been the the No. 2 new series of the season among adults 18-49 (behind NBC’s ‘Revolution’) and total viewers (behind ‘Vegas’),” the report notes. “In the most current ratings (two weeks of Live+7 and two of Live+Same Day), ‘Elementary’ has averaged 14.3 million viewers and a 3.5/10 in 18-49, improving its Thursday 10 PM time period by 17% in 18-49. In total viewers, it is even with ‘The Mentalist’s’ performance last fall.”

“Vegas,” which stars Dennis Quaid, is an older-skewing show, but it ranks as fall’s most-watched new series, the story reports. It has been averaging 14.9 million total viewers with a 2.7 average rating/8 share in viewers 18-49.

CBS has already canceled one new fall drama, “Made in Jersey.”

The fate of the new CBS comedy “Partners” remains unclear, the story notes, adding: “The half-hour has been a soft performer on Monday though it stabilized the last couple of weeks.”

  1. CBS should put Made in Jersey on it’s broadcast partner The CW. Pair it up Friday nights with Nikta. (Jersey at 8:00PM & Nikita at 9:00PM) Jersey really was not a bad show.
