CBS: 'Clubhouse' out for November

ZAP2IT.COM
If CBS' move of "Clubhouse" from Tuesday to Saturday night was like sending the show to the minors, then the network's latest action is tantamount to giving the baseball-theme series an outright release.
"Clubhouse" is gone from the schedule for at least the rest of November after whiffing in its first Saturday airing Nov. 6. That's all CBS is saying about the show for now, but its prospects for returning are probably shaky at best.
Saturday's episode drew only 4.2 million viewers, a low number even in the relative dead zone that is Saturday prime time. "Clubhouse" finished behind "Cops" on Fox and reruns of "The Most Outrageous Game Show Moments" on NBC and "Lost" on ABC. Its adults 18-49 rating was an equally anemic 1.0.
The move to Saturdays came because the show was creating a hole in CBS' Tuesday night. "Clubhouse" drew an average of 8.6 million viewers in three Tuesday airings, losing nearly 40 percent of the audience from its lead-in, "NCIS" (14.2 million). The show that followed it, "Judging Amy," brings in about 10.5 million people per week.
Last season, "The Guardian" averaged 11.4 million viewers in the time slot through the end of October.
Repeats will fill the 8 p.m. Saturday spot on CBS for the rest of November. This week the network will re-air its "Dallas" reunion special, followed by an "Amazing Race" encore Nov. 20 and "Cold Case" on Nov. 27. "The Amazing Race 6" is moving into "Clubhouse's" former slot starting Tuesday.
