The Question, Monday 9/30/13: Will a New Group of Men Save CBS Monday?

If you thought CBS' Premiere Monday ratings were disappointing, good news: HELP IS ON THE WAY from new show We Are Men, which premieres tonight in the 8:30 slot occupied last week by How I Met Your Mother. ...or not. We Are Men is a single-cam on laugh track-happy CBS and among the season's most panned new shows. It's got the direct HIMYM lead-in but so did last year's DOA Partners (2.4). With a bigger-name cast, I don't see this doing much worse than last year's already very weak premiere. But it'll be tough to do any better either. So I'm going a touch below Partners.

Over/Under: 2.25.
