CBS Cancels CSI: Miami and Unforgettable

CBS renewed a slew of shows a two months ago and also announced the pick-up of seven new series (and the likely cancellation of A Gifted Manearlier today, but now the high-rated network has officially canceled two shows.

CSI: Miami: This CSI spin-off has been on the air for 10 years, but its ratings are slipping.  Its most recent season (which only consisted of 19 episodes) was pulling in about 8 million total viewers and a 1.7 rating in the key demo.  For any other network that might seem like stellar ratings, but for CBS it tended to be on the low-side.  In a statement, the network said “CSI: Miami leaves an amazing television legacy – a signature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS’s rise to the top over the past decade.  We thank all the producers – led by Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and Ann Donahue — and its talented cast, led by David Caruso, for 10 outstanding seasons.  Viewers around the world will continue to enjoy rebroadcasts of CSI: Miami in syndication and on key digital platforms for many years to come.”  CSI: New York’s fate hasn’t officially been announced, but sources say it could find a place on next year’s schedule.

Unforgettable: The Poppy Montgomery-led freshman drama (also starring Dylan Walsh) wasn’t a stellar performer for the network on Friday nights and hasn’t been picked up for a second season.

Poppy Montgomery is ‘Unforgettable’ solving crimes
Written by admin on May 02, 2012 • Leave a message? / No Comments

As she nears the end of her freshman season starring on the CBS drama “Unforgettable,” and, more immediately, faces another long shooting day as the detective who never forgets a clue, Poppy Montgomery sips her morning latte and does a little remembering.

For instance, she thinks back on her former series, “Without a Trace,” and how hard it was when that series concluded three years ago. For seven seasons she played Samantha Spade, a field agent in a Missing Persons task force, “and when you’ve done one character that long,” she says, “there’s a grieving process, almost, when it ends.”

She had also had a baby, Jackson, with then-partner Adam Kaufman as the show drew to a close, so she opted to take time off from her career.

But after spending Jackson’s first years as a stay-at-home mom, Montgomery got the script for “Unforgettable.”

She was being invited to play Carrie Wells, an NYPD detective whose rare condition renders her incapable of forgetting anything, including crime-solving details that no one else would even notice, let alone remember.

Montgomery, like millions of others, had seen a “60 Minutes” story in Fall 2010 that explored the real-life condition called Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory and featured actress Marilu Henner, one of just a handful in the world who have this gift of total recall. (Henner would become a consultant for “Unforgettable,” which airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. EDT.)

‘Unforgettable’ remembers what makes a good cop show
Written by admin on September 30, 2011 • Leave a message? / No Comments

Many of us would be happy if we could remember the name of the person introduced to us five minutes ago. A tiny percentage of people, though, remember everything that ever happened to them.

What they earned on a third-grade spelling test is as readily accessible in their minds as what they ate half an hour ago. In CBS’ Tuesday drama “Unforgettable,” Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery) is one of those people.

Thin, with bright red hair that must be touched up constantly to cover blond roots, Montgomery wears black jeans and a black tank top. Her gold detective badge is on her hip. She looks fit and tough as the crew rearranges the lighting on set.

It’s a rainy early September morning on Roosevelt Island, a narrow strip of land between Manhattan and Queens, and in a nondescript building, sets for the procedural crime show are bustling.

“That’s the secret of this character,” Montgomery says. “All of the minutiae of her life is there, but the great moment of her life is not there.”
