It’s a shame that CBS (Constantly Broadcasting Stupidity) is not bringing back “Worst Week” It is by far so much better than a half dozen of the so-called comedies out there. Pity you CBS!
My wife and I are so disappointed that you are not bringing back Without a Trace. It was one of your best shows.
We miss this show. It was one of the best shows on TV. Please consider bringing it back.
Is there any chance of bringing back Without a Trace ?
Please bring back Without a Trace – great show.
Without a Trace is my dad’s favorite show – and he doesn’t watch much tv! We are disgusted that the show is not in the fall lineup. Please bring it back!!!!
Big mistake to take Without a Trace off
sucks that without a trace and eleven hoour are not coming back i like the old routine and shows the new shows am not feeling them
Please bring back Without a Trace!! I am really upset that it is not on!!
you and tons more.
PLEASE bring back Without a Trace. It was my FAVORITE show. I’m really upset its not on. We don’t need another reality show.
CBS has made a huge mistake! Please bring back “Without a Trace”. The cast and writers of the show , along with “Criminal Minds” are some of the best in the business!
Listen to your viewers CBS!
I agree 100%!! Love that show!
I can’t seem to fathom why CBS took Without A Trace off and left the Survivor: Samoa on. Without a Trace was my favorite television program besides CSI: Las Vegas. I don’t watch CSI anymore since they took off William Petersen. He made the show. Now I watch TLC’s program Little People Big World.
WITHOUT A TRACE was the best show that I enjoyed watching after work. I liked it a lot, you know drinking tea and watch the show with all the sharp unexpected turns!
Thake that ” Mentalist ” show and watch it yourself, but let me watch Without a trace!!!
I have been waiting for With out a Trace to return. Now I read that it is not coming back. How is this possible!!!
Take the Friday night spots of the bad acting in GW or Med. There is nothing worth watching on Tues. and Wed. either. Put WOAT in one of these spots. Its a no brainer.
Have to say that I love the Mentalist! Criminal Minds is hit and miss, I only watch the episodes not involving children
As others I can’t believe that you would take Without A Trace off the air. For years I did not watch newer TV shows. Most of my TV viewing was classic TV. That all changed when I saw NCIS and Without A Trace. Without A Trace is by far one of the best programs on television. We are so sick of much of the television shows on air. The reality shows are so lame and absolutely boring. In our family we don’t bother with such trash. Without A Trace was an oasis from all the junk TV. When I read that this program was going off the air I could not believe it. Who would make such a decision especially when it was doing so well in the ratings. Please bring the show back. You have made a terrible mistake..however it can be corrected.
Please bring Without a Trace back. I feel like my other viewer friends, a death in the TV family. I live for Without a Trace and Cold
case.You can bring joy back to so many hearts by just giving us back our Without A trace. Why on earth would you let such a show go? I think we need to get togather and turn our TV sets off until you guys listen to your viewers.All of the people were so beautiful inspite of their imperfections. They were positive, they brought joy and hope to us every week.You have all of the power, please reconsider.I would love to write each of the stars and tell them what they mean to so many of us. I pray that another network would please pick the show up. Please! Please! Please!
Please bring back Without a Trace. Great show and cast. stories, soundtrack. One of the best crime shows – can’t we do without the Fri Shows – Medium, Ghost Whisperer, a CSI, it’s better than Criminal Minds. You kept moving the schedule of WAT. I have watched since it started.
Please Please
Can’t believe it’s off the air. With all the junk on the air? Please explain what you
CBS people are doing. (or not doing)
BRING BACK WITHOUT A TRACE!
Really question the suits at CBS for even thinking about taking “without a trace” off the air…. very stupid- seriously they kept “cold case” instead?!?!?
Get rid of How I met your Mother and bring back Without a Trace!! It was GREAT!! No more reality shows please
