Close to Home Does Well in New Time-slot

[nerd4hire]

The Futoncritic has this to say -

CBS's freshman drama CLOSE TO HOME, in a special Friday broadcast, outperformed all of its previous Tuesday episodes in viewers and adults 25-54 and delivered the time period's best performance since last May, according to final Nielsen ratings for Friday, Nov. 11.

I don't understand something though. What happened to Threshold? Is it cancelled, or on break? Is it going to move to another time-slot.

Cancelled .

Is it? It's still on for now though. At least I saw it last week in a new timeslot - I forget where.

Forgot to check the ratings. I wonder if CTH is still doing well on Fridays, or if Threshold is liking it's new time-slot.

Also they seem to have pruned characters from both shows. I never see Christian Kane any more whenever I watch CTH, and that ugly-cute little dog from the Threshold pilot - they were calling him Monster - seems to have disappeared.

Supposedly they're nixing the next two eps that they were supposed to show.

But according to SciFiWire, it's cancelled.

Oh, OK, I get it. I found some info on it as well.

In a busy day of small-screen comings and goings, industry insiders confirmed that "Reunion," "Threshold" and "Hot Properties" will all cease production after 13 episodes.

News is particularly troubling for fans of the Warner Bros. TV-produced "Reunion," which has a serialized mystery designed to wrap at the end of the first season. It's unclear if producers will resolve the murder case at the heart of the show by the final seg; there's also no word on how long episodes will remain on Fox.

After a strong start, "Reunion" has faded in its 9 p.m. Thursday timeslot.

Eye is pulling Paramount Network TV-produced "Threshold" off its schedule for the time being, and production will wrap after its initial 13-episode order. Network said the fate of the sci-fi actioner had not been determined, but the decision to take the show off for the rest of November sweeps is not an encouraging sign.

Repeats of fellow frosh "Criminal Minds" will sub in tonight at 10 in place of "Threshold," with the Victoria's Secret special in the slot on Dec. 6 and the second half of the two-hour "The Amazing Race" finale on Dec. 13.

"Threshold" had just moved to its new Tuesday night slot last week (swapping with "Close to Home," which has thrived in "Threshold's" old Friday berth) but posted just a 2.1 rating/6 share in adults 18-49, as well as just 6.5 million viewers -- its lowest audience yet for an original episode.
