Not every new show that comes on sticks around, so if Jay Leno stinks they'll be kicking themselves in the ass for letting Medium go, and CBS will be laughing all the way to the bank. Leslie Moonves knows what's he's doing.

It reminds me of the episode of WKRP where Mrs. Carlson wanted to station to go lower in the ratings so they would lose money abd she could claim the station as a tax write off

Confirming an Ausiello report, the Patricia Arquette starrer, produced by CBS TV Studios, moves to Fridays on the Eye, between Ghost Whisperer and Numb3rs. After NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman had axed the show, and labeled it "an aging franchise, without a single fan letter, with no passion," CBS TV Studios had issued a sternly worded statement: "NBC's cancellation of Medium is inexplicable to us," it said. "The ratings don't lie: Medium outperforms many of NBC's renewed shows." This Silverman: WHAT a douchebag! And dissociated from reality. We don't need to write letters, dammit. Ali already knows what we think.... Anyhow, more here: http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118003988.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 What was a CBS-produced show doing on NBC in the first place? Thanks so much for posting this announcement, Piranhahaha. I've been getting annoyed not knowing for sure. I guess this means we'll get to see it in September and not have to wait until January, right? I'll follow Medium anywhere, even if it is to CBS. I'm not sure where they get off pointing too many fingers at NBC. CBS has done more than their share of dunderhead moves over the years just like NBC.

That thread's a great read if you haven't already read it. Yeah, that occurred to me on the way home today, too -- no half year break between the seasons this time around. Things are definitely looking good for Medium right now. And despite the 9pm slot, I bet CBS takes care not to alienate the core audience. Maybe they'll start right off with a particularly grotesque murder. Maybe even Capt. Push just like in the NBC pilot. However, I wouldn't mind if they layed off child victims, though.

Nice to see that the promo'd MEDIUM FINALE is just a NBC finale ;) God bless CBS for buying up Medium!

I knew too something was wrong with the teller's dream, but that was a interesting tweak on things. I always wondered why other Phoenix psychics don't come forward. Epic Bridgette fail, too. Yes, the finale's next week. Ali's in danger of losing her powers. Haven't we been down this road before?

We just had another medium a couple of weeks ago. It was way too soon for another one already. Pretty shitty of NBC to bill it as the Medium finale. A lot of people don't read boards like this and have no idea that it is moving to CBS. I sure hope CBS advertises the hell out of the move over the summer so people will have it figured out before October and the ratings take a huge plunge.

I find it unbelievable that an 11-year old could get into an accident with another car and the parent isn't notified. Not a big deal. I still enjoy this show though.

Posts: 296 (05/26/09 8:29 AM) Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	You know, that totally bugged the hell out of me too about the car accident. The parents totally would have been notifed. And I wouldn't have been surprised to see Social Services get involved too. Allison was way to blase about that whole thing. And it's about damn time Lee gets around to becoming a daddy. He's been pissing me off about that. He doesn't think he'll be very good at it. So what, that means you not even TRY? And if you didn't want to be a baby daddy, there sure as hell are a lot of ways to NOT become one in the first place. Pick one.

He is so overly careful about his reactions to misbehavior. It's really sad to see. With Lee being a cop, and having to deal with the really bad things out there, I can see why he was hesitant about being a father. Not that he had much of a choice. A baby doesn't care if you're ready or not. They just come on their own sweet schedule. I'm just glad they finally let us know why he was being such a dick about the baby.

She was a bank robber too. So glad this show was picked up; it is certainly one of my favorites, but I am getting tired of Allison in the hospital episode. Also, why does the DA ever doubt her anymore? He should be jumping on everything she says. I was losing my patience with Lee, but now it is all happy. I do love this show!

They gave the impression that Allison let her get away with it. That doesn't seem like her at all.

Posts: 1751 (05/27/09 11:22 AM) Registered user Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	I think the bank teller got away with it because she a) gave back all the money, b) told the DA office where the other robber was and c) made a deal with Allison and the DA. I think the teller was clearly misguided by the other robber, and was starving for attention, which is why he was able to sweet talk her. They must have saw that in her, or else they would have been all over her too. As for Lee, I think he was being rational about it. He's seen probably seen the vicious cycle in other people way too many times, and was hoping to find a way to avoid it himself. I just think it's odd that his girlfriend wants to name her daughter Leigh or Lee or however they want to spell it. What would they call her? Leigh the 3rd? Speaking of odd, I think Allison and Joe were too easy on Bridgette. WTH? If I had done that to my father's car, he wouldn't care what age I was, he would go absolutely crazy. I think they went easy on her because she was a child and she did a stupid thing typical of her age. They should have went off on Arielle as well for leaving the two alone like that.
