CBS needs to look elsewhere than "Golden Boy"
13 March 2013
Very hollow series so far. Much the same as so many of the cop shows on TV today, especially on CBS. Very disappointing for a show that is regarded as the replacement for "Vegas", which for me was one of the few shows worth watching on network TV this year. It would appear that CBS is trying to attract the female audience with another pretty boy Theo James ala Simon Baker (The Mentalist). Too bad the material isn't as good. And then there's Chi McBride...they could have used their Sport's columnist Jason Whitlock. Just as witty. It's time for CBS to go back to their drawing board and come up with something new and DIFFERENT. Take a cue from Fox with their excellent "The Following"! Shows such as CSI (Vegas) & CSI NY have run their course. CSI was really good with William Petersen, but has really fallen since. I love Gary Sinise, but again the writers tend to develop most the of the story lines around the glitz & glamor of their particular city...not the average Joe, blue collar person. NCIS & its spin off are also wearing extremely thin with very predictable scripts. Criminal Minds is good but appears to becoming too formulaic. Person Of Interest and Blue Bloods are really the only other dramas of excellence left on CBS. As for comedy, there is no show even close to the Big Bang Theory on any network!

CBS needs to look elsewhere than "Golden Boy" for a suitable program to follow their NCIS shows on Tuesdays, although in coming years the whole prime time Tuesday slot may need revamping.
