In a move that shocked nobody, CBS cancelled Made in Jersey to make it the first cancelled show of the 2012-2013 season! CSI: NY will move to 9:00 and Undercover Boss will move into the 8:00 hour.
--
We have the first official casualty of the 2012-13 season. CBS has pulled low-rated new drama Made In Jersey off the schedule after two airings. Starting Nov. 2, unscripted series Undercover Boss will return to CBS’ Friday lineup in the 8 PM slot it occupied last spring.
Effective immediately, CSI: NY will move back to the 9 PM hour where Made In Jersey had aired. In the next three weeks, NCIS and Hawaii Five-0 repeats will air in the 8 PM hour. Undercover Boss, which just won an Emmy for best reality series, performed well on Friday in the spring. Meanwhile, Made In Jersey faltered this fall, opening overwhelmingly and then falling a steep 27% to a 0.8/3 last Friday, prompting our prediction that CBS would likely summon Undercover Boss on the night soon. The move of CSI: NY to 8 PM has hurt the aging crime drama, which posted steep year-to-year declines and affected 10 PM Blue Bloods, also down with the weak Made In Jersey lead-in. Made In Jersey starred Janet Montgomery as a street-smart New Jersey girl working for a top Manhattan law firm.
Another new drama that is struggling mightily this fall, Fox’s Mob Doctor (0.9/2) this Monday, also is getting off the air, but that is for a three-week baseball pre-emption. It remains to be seen whether it will come back after.
