Sooner or later CBS's strategy is going to fail cancelling shows that get good ratings...
Don't forget to add Friends to that list. Not that I was a big fan.Show like Cheers and Seinfeld wouldn't have stood a change at being renewed by CBS since it took them a couple years to develop the show and grow their audience. Heck, even veteran shows like Medium, Numb3rs and Boob Whisperer had very respectable ratings when CBS pulled the plug. So far CBS has been successful with this tactic...but it couldn't come back to bite them in the shorts.

I'm sorry,but I bailed on Boob Whisperer when they killed the husband & then had his spirit inhabit someone else.

Well, maybe a three person cast of Poppy, Dylan and Jane can play all the supporting characters...sorta like a Money Python meets SNL minus the comedy.
Anyway, I was hoping they were brining it back to see if they could breath new life into the show (it has 9-10 million audience), but apparently they are just trying to bleed every penny out of the show until they find a mid-season replacement.

"Finally, CBS has Unforgettable lined up to return on Sunday, July 28 at 9:00 p.m. The drama stars Poppy Montgomery as a police detective with an extraordinary memory. It was cancelled and then un-cancelled by CBS and will be back this summer for its anticipated second season."
Yikes! I though the 2nd Season (return after being cancelled) would be show mid-season, but it's going to be a Summertime Series.
Well, thats like 9 months away .... I doubt I'll pick it back up, even though I thought Poppy and Dylan were good.
Thats just TOOO long to be away and expect people to watch like it was yesterday ...
