Question Two, Tuesday 9/25/12: Viva Las Vegas?

I really wanted to hold myself to one The Question per day, but there are a few select dates when I find it impossible. I think Fox's sitcom lineup and CBS' Vegas are each big enough deals to warrant their own post. So here we go; CBS will launch its third new series in four years in the Tuesday 10/9c slot after NCIS: Los Angeles. Dennis Quaid's Vegas probably has the most hype of any of those shows at least at the beginning. Is this show destined to be a little too different for the CBS audience, or will it be Viva Las Vegas for CBS? That's Question Two for Tuesday, September 25, 2012.

NCIS: Los Angeles lead-in	post-NCIS: LA premieres
3.6 (premiere, 9/20/11, +6% year-to-year) 3.18 (2011-12 average) 3.0 (finale, 5/15/12, -9%)	3.1 (The Good Wife, 9/22/09, 4.4 lead-in) 2.5 (The Good Wife season 2, 9/28/10, 3.7) 2.9 (Unforgettable, 9/20/11, 3.6)

Who knows where the show ends up, but I have a feeling that Vegas will at least begin in the same range as previous lower-profile efforts like The Good Wife and Unforgettable. Unforgettable in particular was a show that wasn't making magazine covers and the like. So I see the NCIS pair's audience hanging in there about as well as they did with Unforgettable, but then I think there might be some extra samplers from outside the typical CBS realm.

Over/Under: 3.0.

No entries accepted after 6:00am ET the morning after the date in the headline.
