The Question, Friday 4/5/13: Will the Vegas Friday Long Shot Pay Off?


Tonight, CBS sends its fall/winter Tuesday 10/9c occupant Vegas into the Friday mix. Perhaps the even worse news for the show over its month and a half off the air was CBS' slew of renewals last week, including for seeming bubblers like The Mentalist and The Good Wife. There are basically no slots left on the roster for returning shows now. Vegas needed a miracle before, but now it needs an even bigger one. Will the Vegas Friday long shot pay off? That's The Question for Tuesday, April 5, 2013.

Vegas This Season Previous Occupants
2.5 (premiere, Tuesday 9/25/12)
1.73 (average)
1.9 -> 1.5 -> 1.5 (last three eps)
1.41 (CSI: NY average)
1.6 -> 1.2 -> 1.2 (last three CSI:NY eps)
1.0 (Golden Boy tryout, 3/8/13)

The Golden Boy tryout got a 1.0, and while Golden Boy at that time might have looked a bit stronger than Vegas, I also think its audience was not as "settled in" after just two episodes as Vegas' probably is after 15 eps, so Vegas may be able to bring its audience over to Friday a bit better. Either way, it's not gonna be enough to make the show a contender.

Over/Under: 1.05.
