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!

OMG HOW CAN THEY CANCELL JERICHO!!!! OH MY GOODNESS HOW CAN THEY DO THAT I AM SPEWING
I cant believe that they are cancelled The Class…..
CBS need to bring this show back. I really enjoyed watching this show.
Plain Stupid Now CBS has 6-7 millions viewers less. People afraid of watching any new show on Monday at 8pm that maybe cancelled even if it’s a good show like The Class.
Jericho?????
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
I Don’t beleave!
It is such a rotten shame that CBS has dropped JERICHO and The Class. Shame on you, CBS!!!
I agree with Mike… there are so many web groups and fan sites for The Class that are really upset about this. Well I hope another station is smart and picks it up… IMO it was better then FRIENDS
CBS exec’s are foolish. They cancel more good shows than any other network. The Class and Jericho were 2 of my favorites and they are now gone. Goodbye CBS my days with you are over.
What is CBs doing in cancelling Jericho. It is a fabulous show. Something totally different, interesting, better than anything out there right now. I really hope they change their minds. My only advice is to stop this mid-season haitus. It really loses viewers. Some exec really made an error in judgement on this one.
Don’t Cancel JEricho. It is such a refreshing show. Put this back on.
Leave it to CBS to keep the worst, Old Christine, ect. and
cancel decent shows like Jericho and Close to Home.
Good thing they have CSI or the would be the @ the bottom where they deserve to be
I am pretty sad to see Jericho go.. It was one show that I jumped on the bandwagon for when it started and stayed on even after the idiotic hiatus, and it’s creative slump in the final 3rd of the season, to see it jump back in it’s final 3 episodes. I guess it must have been becoming too expensive to produce. Hopefully they’ll pick it up as a movie one day…
I can’t believe Jericho & the Class….What is CBS thinking?
Enough with the CSI’s already!
they are keeping Ghost Whisperer? seriously?? that show is truly a waste of time. Jennifer LH is talentless….
I hope waterfront is going to get a chance to air on cbs. Joe Pantoliano did a fantastic job as the mayor of Providence–i heard it will be getting a chance in the fall 2007–is this true?
please advise’
Thanks

Very saddened to see that Jericho got the ax. It was the only show that my wife and I watched together. I guess that there’s no need in gettting interested in any new shows for fear of wasting time again.
