At this rate, by 2020, I expect the entire CBS primetime lineup to be 1970/80s reboots, NCIS and Big Bang Theory spinoffs, Survivor, The Amazing Race, and 60 Minutes.

No one under 45 watches network TV. With streaming services and premium cable they realize their time is nearly up and are doing whatever they can to stay relevant. Expect 30 second spots of "i've fallen and i can't get up", the bathtub with the door and those stair chair things.

I'm sure Murder She Wrote is next on the revival list.

Actually, believe it or not they had planned to do that a long time ago but I think Angela Lansbury had enough pull to get it killed.

True, but isn’t half of what they watch old tv shows from the 90s on Netflix?

I get why they're wanting to bring it back, because a 30 minute show a week cracking wise about Trump is probably going to be ratings gold.

But it was a pretty boring show the first time around, it might be a one trick pony the second time around.

No, my point was that for many people under the age of 30, they don't own a TV, let alone have cable.

For people under 45 they have a tv and probably watch cable but also have access to streaming services.


Look at the demo numbers for CBS. They pull low in the 18-49 and high in 49+. That's the target demo for Murphy Brown.

Under age 49 Grey's Anatomy last week = 2.2/9 rating/share.

I suppose they could all be between 45 and 49.

25% of their audience. Obviously me saying "no one" was hyperbole but that's 2 million viewers, and it's the highest rated show. Those numbers aren't great.

I used to watch Matlock during the odd sick day as a kid. Not a bad show actually. Real bumpin' theme song too.

I have hilarious memories of terrible old TV shows because we used to visit some family in Ontario some summers and it was so, so boring. They had a crappy old TV that got 2 channels on the ol' rabbit-ears and one channel would show Knight Rider at 2:30 every day.

I also used to watch Matlock with my grandmother. I dont know why but she hated Matlock. Loved the show, hated the character.

She once said: "Matlock would be a much better show if Matlock wasnt in it."

She was a crazy old lady but I miss her.

My wife has been watching that show for years so I have had to endure watching bits here and there. Just an awful show but I suppose women in particular love these hospital dramas. Such a bad show though.

No actor or actresses deserved to work on sets that cold.
