Meh...your analysis is once again rather curious. Yes, TAR did pretty
well last season due in part to following a stronger than usual NFL
lead. TAR's premiere episode followed Indy/New England which had the
largest ratings for a regular season game in 20 years. Plus, the
"precious" CSI:NY (which I assume isn't as "precious" as CSI itself)
was hit by the writers' strike which affected a LOT of programs. It
would be easier to call the 2007-08 season an abberation and not use
it to judge future seasons unless a writers' strike is in the works
for many springs to come.

A king-size "DUH!".
I wouldn't be surprised if TAR was limited to the fall so CBS could
try out new programs in the spring. The x-factor in this is just how
long Phil 'n company want to keep doing TAR.
