While CBS has increased their order for episodes of Elementary, the network has decided to cut the episode order for Vegas from 22 to 21 installments.
Starring Dennis Quaid and Michael Chiklis, Vegas debuted to a 2.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 14.85 million viewers. Considering the star power and promotion behind the series, that was a disappointment. For the next two weeks, the numbers seemed to stabilize at a 2.0 demo rating and roughly 12 million viewers.
On October 23rd, CBS ordered a full season of episodes for both Vegas and Elementary. That night, Vegas dropped 20%, to a 1.6 rating. The next week popped up to a 1.7 and this week’s went back down, to a 1.6 rating.
While the ratings have not been very good, CBS is apparently planning on sticking with Vegas for the rest of the season. If the numbers fall any further, it’ll be interesting to see if they cut any more episodes.
What do you think? Do you like the Vegas TV series? Do you think the ratings will come back up?
Vagas great show enjoyed every episode now CBS has cancelled a second season as usual the americans get a great show then go an cancell it .Maybe they should rethink there decision and give it afair chance
Vegas should stay. It is a good show. I do not understand why Survivor is still on. Cancel it and bring back CSI Miami! I liked that show.
Several of us join in each week to view Vegas. We all enjoy this show and would like very much for it to continue. There are very few shows that fit into out viewing pleasure . Vegas is one of the top picks. Please continue to produce this series.
Is episode 21 the final episode??? WTF … how can you just cancel a series like that???
