    There’s a difference between “dramas” and “procedurals”. The latter includes shows like the two in the article, Law and Order (and Company), and CSI, usually focusing on a “case of the week” and the process of solving that case beginning to end. There are many many non-procedural dramas on TV. Actually, the line continues to blur, as more and more procedurals become increasingly character-driven (Bones, CSI), and Law/Crime/Medicine procedure continues to be a popular setting for character drama as well.

    I really hope something can be work out so at least one of them stays. I would hate to loose both.

    I don’t whatch Cold Case all that much…It’s too damn depressing. As for Without A Trace…The show as been awful since the beginning of the fourth season. I still don’t know why they brought Elena on the show. She brings absolutely nothing. And the Sam/baby/Jack love-fest is nauseating.

    I’ve enjoyed WaT – until the romancing on the show started making the characters totally unprofessional – I mean, Sam slept with her boss, then with her colleague, then she went back to swooning over her boss and now there’s some sort of a love triangle from what I heard? Ridiculous.

    Never watched Cold Case. Have been a fan of Without a Trace but we’ve decided this would be our last season. Really unhappy with bringing Jack’s daughter on board as well as the personal relationship with Sam and Jack.

    I stopped watching these shows because CBS was always running them later than their timeslot because of football. Trying to guess wwhen they’d run so I could set the DVR became impossible so I gave them up.

    Cold Case has been off my list for a long, long while. It annoyed me to have to watch it later than scheduled due to 60 Minutes. So I dumped it.
    Without a Trace – I’d be sorry to see it go. If it is canceled, I hope they at least end with Jack & Samantha together and happy.

    I love Cold Case, but suspect it suffers from the interminable sports events that put ’60 minutes’ et al past their starting times. When that happens, timing slides like dominoes and viewers go for programs with a ‘fresh start’ at the posted times. I’m loyal and patient, but it beginning to seem like I’m the only one.

    I still enjoy these shows – though neither are must see any more. Hate the Jack/Sam thing! But I doubt that CBS has anything much better to put in it’s place – so they’ll just lose viewers in the long run

    I guess we can expect some more CSI franchises…CSI Dallas, CSI Los Angeles, CSI New Orleans.

    I love both shows. I watch every Sunday/Thursday and reruns on week-ends. I would hate to see either go but if I had to choose I’d like Cold Case to stay.

    I don’t watch WAT anymore, and I like Cold Case, but I could live without it. The only bubble show I really care about this year is Chuck. Viva Buymoria!!!

    They’d be crazy to cancel either one. The both have a respectable following and steady numbers. Both have survived that death slot on Sunday night where most shows die due the pre-empting. WaT has even survived the Tuesday death slot as well. I’d rather keep WaT if I had to chose, but I think it would be dumb for CBS to cancel either They are the only 2 CBS shows I watch, so there would be zero reason for me to ever tune in, if they were canceled.
