Is CBS insane - Cold Case against Desperate Housewives??

Why is CBS doing this. Based on people that I know at the YMCA the
biggest fans of CC are married women who at 8pm watch CC then at 9pm
watch DH.

Based on a couple of women I talked to today about this change is at 9pm
they will watch DH and watch CC when DH is in rerun mode since CC one
can watch individual episodes and not worry about missing a lot if much
of any continuing storylines which is lets face it not much.

Not if DH continues to bleed viewers by continually sucking.

And by not having "Grey's Anatomy" as a leadout. I'm convinced that
toward the end, some viewers only waited out DH until Grey's came on.

You're a giant bore. Either actually watch the show you're commenting
on or think of something new to say.

Rob Jensen...

I keep up with the plot descriptions and sample the last 5 minutes or
so before Grey's comes on even though I deleted the show from my DVR
queue 7 episodes ago. It hasn't recovered. IMO, with NBC abandoning
Sunday nights to football, CBS putting Cold Case in the timeslot
against DH is a great move, given that 1) DH continues to suck and 2)
L&O: CI did fine in the timeslot.

I think the series that's going to suffer against football is DH, not
CC.

I don't agree with Rob on his DH slams, but I do agree that this is
smart scheduling on CBS's part to move CC back against DH.

But, then again, I found *all* of CBS's scheduling moves to be smart!!

CBS must know they are dealing with the same demographic with CC and DH.
I think they should leave CC at 8pm then put on the Unit at 9pm. CBS
could run the ads like this "CC a show to watch together then at 9pm
guys stay where you are for The Unit". Ratings would be far better then
moving CC to 9pm and AR at 8pm.
