CBS Cancels 3 Lbs.
Thursday, November 30, 2006
     
3 Lbs - Stanley Tucci That's unfortunate. It's over. How does that happen so fast? It didn't even get a chance, right? Will CBS get better ratings with the reruns it puts in its place? That's right, the Stanley Tucci vehicle 3 Lbs has been canceled (apparently) after only three airings. The ratings of 3 Lbs declined every week, ending up receiving even worse ratings than the show whose place it took, Smith. Broadcasting and Cable has the whole story.

CBS executives probably know more about things like "demographics" and "ratings" and "TV" than I do, but I still don't understand their decisions sometimes. Why even go through the hassle of creating, casting, writing and producing episodes of a new show if you only give them a three-episode leash? CBS has done this now with two shows: Smith and its replacement 3 lbs. TV drama needs time to grow, find an audience. Smith would've achieved some degree of popularity, I guarantee that. I didn't watch 3 lbs, but I generally heard positive things about the show, especially Tucci. Anyway, I'm sorry to fans who had gotten into 3 Lbs and now have had their hearts ripped out (possibly again) by CBS. -Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer
