stealinghome December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 I worry that if CBS holds PoI off until late spring/early summer, it will make it that much harder for the WB to shop it around.

stealinghome December 1, 2015 Share December 1, 2015 (edited) Not gonna lie, that article lost me at "CBS's schedule is actually pretty strong and that means there's no room on the schedule." Outside of NCIS, CBS' drama schedule has been a disaster this year. CBS has eight--EIGHT--dramas at a 1.27 or below. Cyber and Elementary are under a 1.0, and The Good Wife and 5-O are barely above the line at 1.05 and 1.08. Supergirl, the network's big gamble, fell from a 3.15 to a 1.52 in six episodes. And Limitless is doing worse through ten episodes than PoI did last year (1.54 to PoI's 1.60), despite Bradley Cooper, being a new show, and much more promo than CBS ever gave PoI. CBS' schedule is in no way "pretty strong." What kills me is that CBS ordered five additional episodes of Code Black to take Wednesday at 10 through February until the CM spinoff takes over on March 2. That was the natural place to either slot PoI in, since we all know CB is dead after this season, OR to premiere the CM spinoff in January, run through it, and let PoI take over the slot in March/April.

NYTimes: A work crew pulled up to the northwest corner of West End Avenue and 101st Street on Wednesday morning and approached an oblong glass box that looked so anachronistic that a passer-by might have wondered if it simply had dropped out of the sky. It was a walk-in phone booth, of the sort that Clark Kent might have dashed into, only to come out dressed as Superman. Even with its graffitied glass, rusted metal panels, and a missing door long ago ripped off its hinges, the booth’s pay phone still functioned. “A lot of people still use it,” said Igor Gakh, the longtime daytime doorman at a building that stands steps away. {We know at least two who do!!!} The crew removed the pay phone and unbolted the booth from the sidewalk, then lifted a replacement booth from a truck, a gleaming silver unit, slightly larger and sleeker in design. “I love it,” declared Lisa Lieberman, a college professor who lives nearby. “All my friends, when they visit me, tell me, ‘Do you know you have an actual phone booth on your corner?’” ........
