CBS cancels ‘Intelligence’ and ‘The Crazy Ones’ but renews ‘The Mentalist’

It’s sad news if you are a fan of the dynamic, intelligent drama, “Intelligence,” which debuted on CBS in a prime-time slot following “NCIS” to 20,800,000 viewers just four months ago. Unfortunately, the show created by Michael Seitzman was relocated to what might as well have been a new zip code. “Intelligence” was given the network’s “time slot of eternal failure,” otherwise known as 9 p.m. on Monday nights.

CBS cancelled five shows today, including "Intelligence," "The Crazy Ones," "Friends with Better Lives," "Bad Teacher" and "Hostages." I will miss "Intelligence," and hope it finds new life on another channel or CBS cable affiliate. They spent too much time, money and effort to create a quality product to just stop now. They didn't cancel programs I would have cancelled, including "Mike & Molly," "Two and a Half Men," "2 Broke Girls," or "Friends with Better Lives," but then again, that's just me. I don't run anything. Still, many, many people don't want to see "Intelligence" cancelled.

Patricia Arquette and cyber crime prove perfect combination for CSI series pilot

If you missed CSI last night, watch it on demand. This was the best episode I've seen in years. A pilot for their new spinoff with Patricia Arquette was first-rate. Had to write a review. Finally some good news to look forward to, if only CBS will say "Yes" to next season. Check out the review here.
