The network’s still doing well so CBS is playing it safe once again this fall. The Tiffany network is introducing very few new shows this year and sticking with most of the old favorites. Here’s what won’t be back for the 2007-08 season:
Armed & Famous – The short-lived celebrity cop show was pulled from the air back in January. All existing episodes have been aired on VH1 or CBS and there won’t be any more.
The Class – This show was devoutly loved by its fans but they were too few in number. CBS is committed to one night of comedy which means four sitcom slots. CBS chose to try one new series and renew four others with higher ratings than The Class
Close to Home – This crime drama has been rumored to be in trouble for months and, unfortunately, the rumors were true. The final episode (#44) aired last Friday.
Jericho – The Skeet Ulrich drama about a small town following a nuclear disaster started off strong but lost viewers when it returned from hiatus. The series finale aired on May 9th, 2007. Episodes are available via iTunes and from Amazon.com.
The King of Queens – The Kevin James sitcom ended its run on Monday night after nine seasons and 207 episodes. Over 13 million watched.
Smith – The Ray Liotta series was the first to go after airing just three episodes. All seven episodes are available on iTunes and Amazon.com.
3 lbs – The Stanley Tucci medical drama replaced Smith and lasted just three episodes. Tucci has been cast in a regular role on NBC’s ER however. All eight episodes are available via Amazon.com
Waterfront – Remember this one? The drama starring Joe Pantoliano as a colorful mayor in Providence, R.I.? Five episodes were completed but it was canned before even one episode aired. Talk about a fast cancellation…
Returning series are: Cold Case, Criminal Minds, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami, CSI: New York, Ghost Whisperer, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, Numb3rs, Rules of Engagement, Shark, 60 Minutes, Survivor, Two and a Half Men, The Unit and Without a Trace.
The Amazing Race and The New Adventures of Old Christine will return midseason (January) or earlier. Stay tuned!

I’m Really disappointed that class wasn’t picked up as well. It was so heavily bid on to start, that I don’t know why they would cancel it after investing so much.
hopefully, someone else picks it up.
I am so sad that Jericho has been cancelled. I loved it so much I wanted to learn morse code so that I’d know what message began each show. CBS sabotaged the success of this show by putting it on hiatus. Who in their right mind puts something on the back burner when its cookin? This show will be missed!
I can’t believe they cancelled Jerich. The season, now series, finale was phenominal. What’s the point of watching television only to have your show cancelled. It was one of two reasons I watched television. Next fall I will be boycotting television for cancelling my favorite shows. If your favorite shows were cancelled, boycott those stations as well. If no one’s watching, advertising won’t work too well!!
end with a cliffhanger and then cancel it thats just great way to treat the people who watch your network you people really suck
JERICHO CANCELLED?
THATS WAY OUT OF ORDER I MEAN IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS HEROES AND LOST BUT ITS WAY BETTER THAN MOST OF THE RENEWED SERIES.
NOT GOOD CBS >YOU GUYS R GETTING MORE AND MORE LIKE FOX EACH SEASON!NOT COOL
I love close to home. shame they’ve cancelled it!
The class was the best and it was very wrong of CBS to cancel it. I hope CBS decides to reconsider after many fans mail in letters of protest
The powers that be at CBS are morons. Cancelling The Class for some something called the Big Bang theory? Having The Unit, NCIS,and Jericho at one time on the scedule and cancelling The Class. CBS outbid 3 networks for the rights to it, and then cancel it? Hope another network would have picked it up.
BRING BACK JERICHO!!! IT JUST STARTED GETTING AWESOME!
I loved Jericho…one of my fav’s ever…planned every Wed.on being in front of the tv ….just like Firefly…sometimes i wonder about these exec’s…..
How can they say Jericho was losing viewers? The show was hugely popular in the downloading comunity, with the number of people viewing the show rising every week not falling. pitty…
I totally agree about The Class. I LOVED that show. I looked forward to it every week. Also Close to Home and Crossing Jordan…I loved those shows too (even though CJ was getting kinda stupid at times). It kills me that they keep the lame shows and get rid of the good ones!
I CANT BELIEVE THAT JERICHO HAS BEEN CANCELLED I’M READY TO WRITE CBS OFF BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS REALLY BITES
Let us hope they reconsider canceling Jericho, or that the information is incorrect. It’s kind of depressing to see CBS will fill its’ lineup with bundles of police, forensics and emergency team dramas, not to mention yet ANOTHER Survivor, but sadly throw away a show that is both rich in plot and possibly a potential future for our country (let’s hope not, however).
The class was really original…i loved it alot! i am super p/oed…what to watch now, i wish their was a better last episode
