Unforgettable- May Have a Season 2 After All

Today, a report surfaced claiming that there may be a second season of Unforgettable.  It would air during the summer of 2013, more than a year after the original series finale.  This is a slightly different circumstance than The LA Complex's second season this summer; the difference is that Canada is not involved here.

This deal, however, is still far from final.  According to a commenter in the TV By the Numbers comments section, CBS has until June 30th to decide.

Summer Renewals and Cancellations- June 17

Notes for today:
- American Ninja Warrior did fine for airing on short notice on a strange night.  It is still a certain renewal.
- After holding its 1.5, Secret Millionaire is on the bubble.
- Take Me Out is a Certain Cancellation.
- As they both have 0.267 averages, The Catalina and Breaking Pointe should be in the same category, and Certain narrowly beat Likely.
- I am very interested to see how The Glass House does tomorrow.  With all of its promotion during the NBA Finals, it could be a hit.

How to Be a Gentleman Burnoff Starts Tonight

The quickly-canceled CBS sitcom, How to Be a Gentleman, returns tonight for its summer burnoff.  The show premiered to a 2.7 rating (if I remember correctly) last September.  That would have been passable for any network except CBS.  It dropped to a 2.5 rating in its second episode and was exiled to Saturday.  In its Saturday premiere, How to Be a Gentleman could only manage an 0.7 rating and was even pulled from Saturdays.

Nine episodes were produced, so six still have to air.  CBS will show the first two tonight at 8:00 to 9:00.  The remaining four will air on Saturdays at 8:30 for the next four weeks.

Rules of Engagement Renewed for Season 7

Today, CBS renewed its utility player, Rules of Engagement, for a seventh season.  The show has always scored moderate, but good enough to survive, ratings for CBS.  In six seasons, this true utility player has only aired 87 episodes.

The renewal is for 13 episodes to be aired in 2013 (midseason).  This will bring Rules of Engagement to an even 100 episodes, possibly signifying a final season.  I can talk about renewal for 2013-14 later, though.

This ends the 2012 renewal and cancellation season.  Summer renewal and cancellation predictions will begin on Friday, June 8.
