It’s Official: CBS Gives Full-Season Orders To ‘Person Of Interest’ And ‘Unforgettable’

• I really like Person of Interest. But I’m a bit surprised by the unrealistic expectations that a brand new show will automatically garner 20+ million viewers. I don’t think that will ever happen again. Not in this day in age of reality shows. I can see Person of Interest climbing to 17-18 million over the next couple seasons, like The Mentalist did for a while.

  • I agree w/JohnDoe. There is just too much competition – some people might be giving The Office and Whitney a chance, some people might be hanging on for the last few eps of Project Runway. There may be a World series game on Thurs. And then there are those who watch nothing on the first run, instead watch the next day online. However it shakes out, glad to see the full season for POI – more and more into that show with each week.

• Person of Interest is the first Broadcast Network TV series I’ve watched in years.
  IF they can maintain or even improve the writing it could have a nice run.
  The actors are worthy.

• Unforgettable? Seriously? Wait let me close my eyes and see if i can remember the vile of crack in the corner these execs must have been smoking right before they placed the order.

  • Vile of crack? Snarky really lands when you can can spell. Being funny helps too.

• In other news, rumors that the show’s producers announced they were considering filming Poppy Montgomery in something other than a tight tank top remain unconfirmed.

• Both these shows are merely fillers. Networks can’t survive if the best they can do are shows that do worse than the aging shows they’re replacing. And let’s keep in mind that their 18-49 averages aside, both shows have trended downwards and are below those averages now.

  Networks need hits. If AMC can get huge 18-49 numbers, which are bigger than these shows, with Walking Dead, there’s something very wrong at the broadcast companies that don’t come close, given their relatively far bigger reach.

• If “Person of Interest” is a filler its the best filler on TV right now. CBS seems to be doing fine.

• Person of Intrest is a most enjoyable show. I love the twists and turns they are able to make with their plots! I watched tonights episode,”The Fix” with Zoe Morgan (Paige Turco). I would love to see them use her charactor in future episodes.

• Love Person of Intrest. I do watch Unforgetable. But enjoy Person much more.
  Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and Trueblood are also great.
  I have been hearing good things about Hell on Wheels.

• ‘Person of Interest’ is the best drama on TV this season. You can’t take a bathroom break or phone call though; you might miss something!
  Just watched the latest show (11/10/11). GREAT!
  Thanks,CBS, for giving the go-ahead on more shows!

• Person of Interest is one of the best acted series on television today. It helps that James C is one of the leads and seems mostly likely to be able to do what he does. I also like his boss. They work so well together. Hope it goes on for a long time.

• POI is a great show. Why are there so many reruns?
