    Sometimes they have no choice. This thing started out with a brutally low number and it plummeted over the course of an hour. Word of mouth was only going to hurt.

    The network is under a ton of pressure from the affiliates when they put on schlock like that because it can kill the ratings of the local news that follows it. That may mean they kill a show that has a lot of promise, but more often it just allows them to cut their losses and move on. Most shows won't build enough from numbers this bad. (Case in point - "Jericho," which spurred a massive effort to save it when CBS dumped it for low ratings. CBS relented, brought it back... and no one watched it. Seriously, I think they got more letter-writers than viewers.)

    Oh...it's that Sasha Cohen. I heard about this but I thought it was going to be Sasha Baron Cohen. I was afraid he would contort in something like this:

    CBS decided the ratings were not a nice.
