Question: Already I am hearing that
3 LBS on CBS is doing even worse than
Smith did in the Tuesday time period. I like
Stanley Tucci, but I watched one episode and thought the show was awful. Something tells me that the network will pull the plug; what say you?
Answer: Wasn't this a timely question? Barely had I wrapped this column when CBS pulled the plug on the show after a mere three episodes. Personally, I didn't think
3 LBS was awful as much as it was awfully ordinary and awfully derivative. But once again, CBS has bombed out in that 10 pm-Tuesday time period, despite solid lead-ins
NCIS and
The Unit. It almost feels cursed. Guess we'll be seeing more replays of CBS' ubiquitous crime dramas while CBS goes back to the drawing board.I wouldn't say

NCIS and
The Unit. It almost feels cursed. And yes, I agree: I'd be surprised if
3 LBS lasts very long, if at all, into the new calendar year. Looks like CBS is going to have to go back to the drawing board, or end up filling the hour with more replays of its myriad crime dramas.
