CBS Renew/Cancel Week 14: The Price Is Right At Night Holds Strong
This week, Filmogaz.com provides an update on CBS’s reality programming, specifically focusing on two key shows: “The Price Is Right At Night” and “Hollywood Squares.” This analysis reflects the impact of recent scheduling changes and their implications for future renewals.
CBS Programming Overview
With limited shows currently airing, CBS has made adjustments to its Wednesday lineup. This week’s focus is primarily on the performance of its reality series.
The Price Is Right At Night’s Strong Performance
- Show Details: “The Price Is Right At Night” is a primetime version of the long-running daytime game show.
- Duration: The franchise has entertained audiences for over 50 years.
- Current Rating: The show achieved a rating of 0.31 this week, outperforming NBC’s “Chicago Med.”
- Time Slot Shift: A recent move from 9 PM to 8 PM contributed to a ratings increase.
Historically, “The Price Is Right At Night” has proven to be a reliable choice for CBS. The strategic change in time slot appears to have revitalized its performance, marking a shift towards stronger results compared to last winter.
Hollywood Squares’ Uncertain Future
- Show Status: “Hollywood Squares” has had a mixed showing and faces doubts about renewal.
- Recent Change: The show moved to a 9 PM slot recently, achieving a season high.
- Future Booking: CBS plans to push the show to a 10:30 PM slot, following a cooking program.
Despite its recent high, the shift to a less favorable time may indicate declining confidence from CBS. Historically, many successful shows occupy the 8 PM time slot, and losing that position can be a red flag for a series’ longevity.
Looking Ahead: Renewal Predictions
According to current assessments, “The Price Is Right At Night” is a likely candidate for renewal. Its consistent ratings and successful transition to an earlier time slot bolster this expectation. Conversely, “Hollywood Squares” remains in a precarious position, with several indicators suggesting potential cancellation.
As CBS continues to navigate its programming strategy, viewer engagement and ratings will play crucial roles in determining the fate of both shows.
