Q: What will CBS do about how they derailed “The Good Wife” and placed it on a Sunday night, after a football game and their ratings went down? A good program and since we don’t TiVo or DVR we had to sit and wait for it. Poor choice for the night and it needs to be put back on a regular weeknight. Is there anything we regular watchers can do to get it back on a weeknight?
Rob: No, there’s nothing you can do. CBS will place the show where it best suits its programming needs. It’s possible the network could move the show off Sunday when they announce a new fall schedule in May but I don’t expect that to happen.
The good news is “The Good Wife,” despite ratings erosion, is not in danger of cancellation.
“We all love The Good Wife,” said CBS president Leslie Moonves at a press tour party I attended last month. “That’s a show you don’t demand the same ratings of as you might of an ‘NCIS.’ … ‘The Good Wife’ is not going anywhere.”
I got an advance look at Sunday’s “Good Wife” episode and it’s another strong, entertaining hour, particularly for fans of exasperated Eli (Alan Cumming).
