The ratings for Sunday's premiers (in millions) competing with football, are incredibly low. Maybe the CEO of Netflix is correct, TV that is not on the internet won't last another 20 years.

8:00PM CBS 60 Minutes - Premiere 14.846
9:00PM CBS CSI (9-11PM) - Series Finale 12.116

8:00PM ABC Once Upon a Time - Premiere 5.878
9:00PM ABC Blood & Oil - Series Premiere 6.318
10:00PM ABC Quantico - Premiere 6.994

8:00PM -10:00PM
FOX The Simpsons - Premiere 3.258
FOX Brooklyn Nine-Nine - Premiere 3.14
FOX Family Guy - Premiere 2.896
FOX The Last Man On Earth - Premiere 3.071

I don't think there is any maybe, it's over for telling people when they can watch.

BTW: Wat was with the finale of a series being shown in Spet?

You really can't go by these ratings anymore.
I watch all my TV with On Demand, and it's
got plenty of commercials, none of it is
commercial free. These type services are
being offered by all the cable and satellite
outfits now, who watches TV in real time
anymore.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

There have been only 6 live action scripted TV shows to last 15 or more seasons. Viewership only broke 10 million one time for the 15th season, so instead of giving CSI a short 16th final season, they decided to give them a final two hour movie to end the series.

Episodes
635 Gunsmoke CBS September 10, 1955-March 31, 1975
591 Lassie CBS/Syndication September 12, 1954-March 21, 1973
456 Law & Order NBC September 13, 1990-May 24, 2010
368 Law & Order: Special Victims Unit NBC September 20, 1999 - Present
337 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation CBS October 6, 2000 - September , 2015
331 ER NBC September 19, 1994 -April 2, 2009

L&O: SVU gets even lower ratings than CSI, but NBC gets much lower ratings than CBS, so they may keep it on the air past this year.

Who killed CSI Las Vegas? The evidence points to Ted Danson. We now get to watch him give CSI Cyber a dirt nap.

I did not fail to notice that at CSI The experience (well worth trying it out once or twice, BTW) they had Grissom running the show, not Danson's character.

I think shows are bimodal.... I don't mean the audience, I mean the shows.

All those bitchy housewives who fight all the time are also on websites and chat rooms and blogs.
Even down below has those crewmen writing blogs and contributing 'extra items' etc.

Now even 48 hours have facebook chat during the show pages.

As to this season.... blood and oil... what is it ....Dynasty/Dallas remake on a budget with younger women and narrower waists?
