TV Tidbits 81 - Numb3rs

Well, this will just make Robert's day (happy belated birthday, man!): It looks like this season of Numb3rs may well be its last. According to Ausiello,

A CBS spokesperson is confirming that the network has cut Numb3rs‘ episode order from 22 to 16. Translation: This is most likely the show’s final season.

I’m hearing Flashpoint will likely take over the Friday 10 p.m. timeslot in February, although there’s been no official confirmation of that.

In related news, CBS has upped the episode orders of How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: LA, CSI: Miami, and Two and a Half Men from 22 to 24, while requesting one additional episode of Criminal Minds, CSI: NY, The Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife, CSI, and The Mentalist, bringing their totals from 22 to 23.


Dang. I'm not heartbroken or anything but I do like Numb3rs. I dunno - there's just something about it. It's funny, too, because Larry's ramblings usually bug me a little and Nikki's "I used ta be uh cop! I'm tuff!" shtick drives me bonkers... and don't even get me started on the annoying, I-apparently-have-no-life-so-let-me-follow-my-sons-around-everywhere dad! But I still like to watch it. I think I have a little residual soft spot in my heart for Dr. Fleischman Rob Morrow. Oh well. Given my current attitude toward TV, I guess I should just be happy to have one less show to watch.

[And no, Robert, this doesn't mean I'll be using the extra hour to start watching SVU again.]
