14 DAY TRIAL // NBC is fearing it will lose the ratings race so, just hours ago, bosses announced major cuts in both scripted and un-scripted programs. Among the casualties, Rock Center with Brian Williams and “CSI: NY.”
The Hollywood Reporter notes that the primetime newsmagazine was a major investment for the network and it didn’t pay out, so it only made sense to cancel it altogether.
Scripted shows that got the axe include, besides “CSI: NY” (my personal favorite in the entire franchise), “Go On” (which only lasted one season), “1600 Penn,” “Guys with Kids” and “Up All Night.”
