The network plans to keep an emphasis on women and younger viewers, African Americans, wrestling fans and, with the return of the "Pussycat Dolls" series, people who like skanks.
I'm not sure what kind of logic there is in dropping a show that was a cult hit and a critical darling from a network that's struggling for viewers, but that's the way it goes, I guess. Apparently, me liking a show is the kiss of death for it.
There was some good news from the upfronts. CBS is bringing back Numb3rs for a fourth go-round in the fall, so all is not lost. Also, there's a new CBS show called Moonlight, about a vampire detective who protects the living. I liked that show a lot when it was called Angel. Also, Kevin Smith has a pilot that's going to be on the CW called Reaper which is apparently about a 21-year-old slacker named Sam who becomes Satan's bounty hunter because his parents sold his soul to the devil before he was born and now he must walk the earth, you know, like Kane in kung fu, meeting people and sending them to Hell. And apparently this is a funny show. No idea how that's going to work, but if anybody can pull it off, it's Kevin Smith. However, there's no indication how much he'll actually be involved with the show past the pilot, so I'm dubious at best.
