I really hope stalker is picked up by another network!! I thought it was an awesome show. CBS should really look into giving it another chance!!
Bring back Stalker!!!
You can’t find a date because CBS hasn’t announced it yet.
Where is Stalker?
Cancelled in May.
Where’s Odd Couple?
Scorpion, ncis los angeles, Hawaii five o, ncis New Orleans.
Wasn’t happy about 2 Broke Girls getting benched until mid-season but I have a feeling that CBS should move 2BG to Thursdays if Supergirl becomes a hit in the 8 p.m. Monday night time slot. Don’t know if Life in Pieces is going to breakout in its post TBBT time slot and in my opinion, really hope that Person of Interest should end after five seasons now that is receiving a 13-episode run instead of 22.
I for one am tired of big brother it’s terriibbe would rather have person of interest. Reall hate big brother show. If any thing should be canceled it should be that.
What happened to “Person of Interest???”
I want to know the same thing! Best show out there!!!
Being held until mid-season.
How about all the Stalker fan’s. You don’t still can’t see the value of that great show, it was the best one. I seen in a long while. I think you didn’t give it a fare shake. Please give it to another network then.
Loved Stalker too! Not happy it’s cancelled!
Of all of these, new and old, Angel from Hell might have a chance, watched the 5 minute trailer and Jane Lynch is great. Of course, CBS will probably cancel it after three episodes….
I still watch Blue Bloods even if they
are reruns on till the new serials
starts for the next season
they have a great cast
Yes Steve, I still watch BB when ever they are on, repeats, marathons, ION, WGN. CBS Blue Bloods/cast is THE BEST show on TV. It is actually the ONLY CBS show I watch.
