As the SAG-AFTRA strike continues, the Powers That Be in network TV continue to scramble in making sure there’s enough primetime content to keep viewers invested. CBS arguably had the best back-up plan possible by way of giving Yellowstone a shot at a broadcast run (which has been watched by tons of new viewers), not to mention giving the newest NCIS spinoff some international love. Now, the network appears to be going harder on prepping for NCIS: Sydney’s arrival by dropping a temporary axe on one of its new-to-2023 series, in favor of embracing more of the long-running crime procedural.
CBS debuted the game show Loteria Loca, which is based on the Mexican Bingo game of chance, back on October 2 as one of the few all-new series to land in its Fall TV lineup. Unfortunately for all involved, it debuted to an audience of just over 1.7 million, with an 18-49 demo rating of 0.2, which didn’t speak highly of its future potential.
