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!

Ok, so CBS wised up and brought Jerico back… took them long enough. Now they need to bring back The Class. They have an opportunity with this show to have one with the magnitude of Friends and they took it off the air. Remember, Friends had a slow start as well and look where they turned up!! PLEASE BRING BACK THE CLASS!!! If networks keep doing this to their fans and putting out more and more realty crap then everyone is just going to start renting movies and watching cable channels instead of the main 4 networks.
Please bring The Class back it was so good!
CBS made the worst decision in canceling The Class.. I refuse to watch CBS anymore unless they bring it back
I loved close to home! Bring it back. It was one of my favorite shows. I’m really glad they’re bringing back ghost whisperer!!!
What was CBS thinking when they decided to cancel Close To Home?? Jennifer Finnigan is outstanding and David James Elliott was just lured back to TV!!! Kimberly Elise was a joy to watch – except while being shot, but every season has to end with a shock so we will watch next season… But now you leave us with . . . nothing?
I’m ready to give up on CBS drama’s because they give you a chance to become invested, then they cancel them. Close To Home, Smith, 3lbs, Jericho – anyone?
I just have to say that while I watched the whole monday night line up, I have every episode of the Class on my dvr. I LOVED this show and was one of the only reasons to turn on the TV. Bad call CBS.
Even though I didn’t watch the entire season of the class, doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the series. I watched the last 7 episodes and the pilot. The pilot rocked. I liked the last 7 episodes too. You should’ve given The Class a second season. Very disappointed.
MY HUSBAND AND I ARE VERY UPSET THAT THE CLASS WAS CANCELLD! ITS NOT RIGHT YOU HAVE A SHOW LIKE The New Adventures of Old Christine THAT IS STILL ON BUT YOU CANCLLED A GREAT AND FUNNY SHOW!! WHAT WHERE CBS THINKING!!! BRING IT BACK!!!
The Class was good because the characters were good and it was not given a fair shake. How can you run a show for one season and make a decsion based on ratings that did not get a chance to grow. Why can’t you run the new shows on late night or weekend afternoon to develope a following. Seems you put out all of this money to promote and create a new show and then just throw it away. I am sure the sponsors are so proud.
I will not be watching cbs….they cancel everything that is good. So long cbs! Thanks for 1 season of The Class! 🙁
i love the class i think is a huge mistake to cancelled and close to home!! i cant belive!!
It is too bad some of these shows are being cancelled. But please people, Jericho sucked. The first 5 episodes were good, then they strayed so far off of the whole point of the show that it wasn’t even worth watching. Several people at work didn’t even know of the show when I mentioned and several others said they watched it, it went downhill, and they stopped watching it. So Jericho is gone for a reason. I love the people who say “my show, your show”. It’s not owned by YOU and YOU have no control over it, so quit… Read more »
I can’t believe they have cancelled Close to Home! It appears that if one is not a fan of reality TV, one does not get to watch anything these days. I am so tired of turning on the tube only to find nothing but Survivor, American Idol, Lost, and Dancing With The Stars (like who cares?). Let’s get back to some real programming with some real acting, as opposed to this monotonous reality nonsense, which is just about as unreal as things can get. Although I have not watched The Class, it also seems that another grievous error was made… Read more »
If you look at the fall lineups there are very few comedy shows anymore. Everything is either a reality show or a drama. With the world the way it is today we need to have a reason to laugh. Bring back The Class!!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS UNBELIEVABLY STUPID OF CBS TO CANCEL THE CLASS. THE DISAPPOINTMENT OF LOSING FRIENDS AND SEINFELD WAS BAD. WHAT? HAVE YOU PEOPLE FORGOTTEN HOW TO LAUGH? MY FAMILY & I KNOW HUMOR. DONT YOU? MAYBE THE CAST SHOULD EAT SOME GODDAM BUGS OR DANCE WITH A FREAKIN STAR AND YOU’LL PUT THEM BACK ON! ANOTHER NETWORK HOPEFULLY DOES KNOW HOW TO LAUGH AND PICK UP THIS GOLDMINE. WHILE THEIR AT IT THEY MAY AS WELL PICK UP ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT TOO. HERE’S HOPIN’
