 | Tonight, CBS unspools the first of its two new dramas this summer. Unlike upcoming Extant, the legal drama Reckless wasn't originally planned for summer. Despite one of its worst new drama classes, CBS couldn't find a place for this show in the regular season, and that's probably not a good sign. And while lead-in Big Brother has a nice 18-49 audience, it's also wildly incompatible with the CBS drama stable, as seen in Unforgettable's rather low-rated turn in this slot last year. Unforgettable premiered at a 1.3 in July 2013. CBS is trying to appeal to the Big Brother contingent by playing up the steamy factor in promos, but that probably won't be enough to make it a much better option than Unforgettable. However, since this is a series premiere and not a known old-skewing quantity like Unforgettable, I don't think it'll do much worse, either... at least for now. Over/Under: 1.25. |

I'll take a stab at over, 1.3 doesn't sound like too much of a push
I'll go Over at 1.3.
It feels like an under to me.
Under with 1.0.
UNDER
Under.
I'll trust CBS brass to know their inventory. As Spot said, they had every chance to air this in season. Yet they didn't.
Over at 1.3.
Under (1.2)
Under.
When CBS goes off-brand with its dramas, they typically bomb: Jericho, Swingtown, Cane, Threshold, Moonlight, etc. They stand a better chance if there's a high-profile pedigree (Under the Dome, The Good Wife). Reckless definitely lacks that.
Under.
Under. Based on the fact I didn't realise anything was premiering tonight.
Very slightly over
Over, only because the line is so low.
Under. How bad has this got to be to not have been used in the Monday 10pm slot in spring?!?
...and then people complain about CBS standing for the Crime Broadcasting System, which is hilarious to me.
