TV Guide, Feb. 8 issue--Numb3rs tidbit

[jatg61]

On page 17, the future of shows on the bubble is speculated.  Nina Tassler's quote about Numb3rs still being considered for renewal is included, and the article reveals that two of the three Friday night dramas will return.

Considering that the ratings numbers for all three shows are statistically identical, CBS must be considering other factors.

So, we stand a chance if we keep going, right?
Oh and you're right, it's easy, inexpensive AND more importantly REPEATABLE. :) Let's go for it.

I don't know whether to be encouraged or even more nervous about the statement "two of the three Friday night dramas will return" because I know that of the three, Numb3rs is probably the most expensive to make... but Numb3rs has also had more viewers this season than Medium so more viewers means more revenue, right?

*breathes* I just am really NOT ready to let go of this show, not after being robbed of six episodes from this season. I know all good things must come to an end, but they can end after we have a FULL 22 - 24 episode season.

We need to step up the game, send out the battle cry, rally the troops and get down to business. Now's really the time when CBS needs to hear from us. *puts on game face*

Numb3rs has had the highest overall viewership of any Friday night show across all four networks, but the networks consider the 18-49 share as the more important number becauase that's the demographic that spends the most money. And that number has been mostly even between the two shows this season.

I want Numb3rs to have a full, 22-ep final season, period. The show has earned that much.
