Ratings Review: PARTNERS

Partners had all the advantages it could get, as a new comedy. Great lead in and lead out programs, on a night that has CBS has been strong in for many years with its comedies. Yet, the ratings were a struggle right from the start.

It was a flawed comedy from the start. I looked bland and typical. Very two dimensional. Obviously unfunny. CBS did the right thing pulling the plug after seven airings, although it should have been axed before the November sweeps started.
