CBS cancels a few shows

[Jay Temple]

I'm just glad that Big Bang Theory won't be on opposite anything I care about any more (except baseball).

CBS is going with a few ballsy moves that may just work out for them.  I can't recall them ever attempting to take on NBC's Thursday night comedies, and the Wednesday night comedy block never seemed to work for them, as many different shows as they tried there.

I really enjoy The Middle and have no use for the others, especially the critical darling Modern Family. Wasn't Survivor originally on Wednesdays?

I'm sorry to see Christine canceled, even though I've been watching it less.

The bigger competition comes in the second Survivor "season" -- the one that starts in February. The second half of the show, including Tribal Council, will be up against the truncated American Idol results show.

/Not sure if CBS affils will freely give up that 9am hour for another GS. They love that slot for local news following Early Show.

There are a few stations that aired Guiding Light at 9AM, and mine continued airing Deal in that slot.  They used the syndie slot for Dr. Phil at 3PM.
