CBS Pulls 'Chaos' After Three Episodes

After just three episodes, CBS has pulled the mid-season spy series, which the network describes as "a comedic drama about a group of rogue CIA spies in the Clandestine Administration and Oversight Services (CHAOS), who combat threats to national security amidst bureaucratic gridlock, rampant incompetence and political infighting."


Friday night's show was seen by an audience of just 5.7 million, earning a 1.0 rating among the 18-49 demographic -- up slightly from the week before, but not as much as what 'Medium' and 'Defenders' drew in the same 8PM time slot, Deadline reports.

Luckily, CBS already has a backup on hand. It'll start airing the Canadian drama 'Flashpoint' on May 6, with reruns of 'CSI: NY' filling the time slot for the next two weeks.

AOL TV critic Maureen Ryan found that although the show's "mild quirkiness" made for "a mostly male action-adventure hour that is energetic and mildly amusing from time to time," it wasn't distinctive enough to make a mark.

The route 'Chaos' took to air was quite dramatic, with the actors' contracts expiring before CBS and studio 20th Century Fox could strike a deal. The companies ultimately agreed, with CBS picking up 13 episodes of the series.

* Sometimes promos can warn viewers not to watch.
This one was it.
There are televisions shows such as "Chaos" might of done better in the theaters as a movie,seen only once and hoping for a hit.
May I add a possible Blu Ray/DVD/PPV release. *
