Week 11 Predictions
CBS has brought back The Price Is Right at Night to their winter schedule, once again filling the hole it filled for a various number of weeks over the past three seasons. It’s doing the job it was created to do, which is to fill a hole on the schedule while producing ratings similar to those on the rest of the schedule. It’s a far cry from Survivor, but anything would be. It starts off as Likely Renew, and will likely pop up on the schedule whenever CBS needs something cheap to fill up a time slot.
Raid the Cage
Once a low-rated Friday show, CBS has to be happy with how Raid the Cage has transitioned to Wednesdays. Again, it’s no unscripted staple, but the network will take this kind of performance for a filler unscripted series. After all, they don’t exactly have depth in the unscripted department. CBS also has a strong relationship with Damon Wayans Jr., who will likely have a presence on the schedule in upcoming years with or without Poppa’s House. Raid the Cage starts as a Leans Renew, and can easily be bumped up to Likely Renew if it continues to perform in line with its season premiere.
Fire Country
The scheduled rerun of Fire Country on Friday, January 10 was pulled from the schedule in the wake of the devastating fires in Pasadena. CBS has done this type of thing in the past, pulling the Season 4 finale from the schedule in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting. I wouldn’t consider this action to mean Fire Country is in any danger of getting canceled, meaning it stays in the Certain Renew category. In fact, the same episode that was supposed to be rerun this past Friday is now scheduled to be rerun on Friday, January 17, and the originally scheduled 1/17 rerun (the Season 2 finale) has been pushed back to 1/24. The Season 3 premiere, originally scheduled for January 24, will no longer be repeated. There’s a chance this changes again, but it indicates that CBS is currently dedicated to keeping Fire Country on the schedule.
