First Two Weeks, Three Rivers

Sorry this was late, but on an NFL overrun Sunday, you pretty much have to wait on the finals.

Three Rivers (CBS)
Sampling: As close as you can get to DOA on CBS. Its 1.9 demo is the lowest premiere for a non-Friday show on the big 4 this season.
Retention: Keeping a DOA audience means you're still DOA. The 11% drop for Three Rivers in week 2 could be potentially promising if not for what a disaster the premiere was.
Prognosis: This show is not thinking about a back 9 or a second season, it's thinking about how many more episodes it gets to air. I'm guessing one more. We've seen several shows in that 3 points area below that seem to be sticking around in the short term, but considering CBS' other three shows scored 6, 5, and 5, a 3 (with such a horrific debut) looks all the worse for this one.
