I don't understand this at all. Why would you reduce the number of shows you want if it's your only show to really pick up an audience this season?

@Little Time Bomb: It's not CSI or NCSIS, so it doesn't matter HOW successful it is. It could be the only show anyone in north america watched and CBS would still shit on it, because it's just a hair outside the ironclad jello-mold they call "programming."

@solios: Yeah, and consider that CBS has another new show that's a much bigger hit, The Mentalist. So maybe they figure they'll support The Mentalist and CSI, and Eleventh Hour can sort of limp along.

Rufus Sewell is really terrible in that show. And he was so amazingly good in Dark City that I can't believe it's the same actor.

@Pope John Peeps II: Yeah, Sewell's main acting methods in this show are "look constipated" and "lecture droningly."
