SpoilerTV has just released its latest predictions for the fate of the current television series. A couple of them seem to be old information, but for the most part, this seems correct.
CBS is pulling the organ-donation medical drama from Sunday nights effective immediately. Starting Dec. 6, “Cold Case” will shift to 9 p.m., where it had recently had a trial airing. At 10 p.m., CBS will add repeats of an unspecified crime drama (why, that could by any CBS show!). The network also will have some holiday programming on Sunday nights that could pre-empt both crime programs. “Rivers” is still in production and the network will complete all 13 episodes of the show’s initial order. Though network sources say no final decision has been made about its future beyond the 13, given the show’s consistent sub-2.0 ratings, fans shouldn’t expect anything more than a burn-off at some point. Overall, CBS isn’t going to shed tears over “Rivers.” The network had a good fall, with “NCIS: Los Angeles” becoming a hit, “Good Wife” performing well, and “The Mentalist” and “Big Bang Theory” performing strong in new time periods. So what thematic object from “Rivers” will outraged fans mail CBS you think? Let’s hope it’s not body parts… [Source: Hollywood Reporter]

Three Rivers Sundays on CBS Okay, I was wrong. I thought this show would be a hit for CBS back when it was announced about nine months ago. But it turns out that, without his fangs, Moonlight hunk Alex O’Loughlin just isn’t the attraction I thought he would be. Approximately 8.77 million people tuned in last Sunday, but they were mostly grandmas and grandpas, as the audience yielded a measly 2.1 rating in the adult demo. By contrast, Family Guy had a half-million fewer viewers but a juicy 4.1 rating among adults (and sold tons of Axe Body Spray in the process). That’s what keeps shows on the air. It’s only a matter of time before Three Rivers dries up. Verdict: In Trouble. Might run out its 13-episode order… if it’s lucky. [Source: TV.com]
