CBS has (essentially) renewed "Hawaii 5-O" for 3 more years. Sold into syndication in 2014 on TNT for $2M/ episode

It costs about $2M an episode to film so they are basically not losing a dime on the show, and only profiting. Even if it bottoms out, they can throw it on a Friday.

Further proof that CBS cares a lot about syndication money and that may be a factor in CSI: Miami's (and NY to a lesser extent) renewal chances. If they go the syndication route, kiss The Good Wife goodbye. No market for that one.

That's pretty solid considering the first season hasn't ended. (tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com)

If not for Scott Caan that show would have been canceled already. - Mel Profit Apr 15, 06:37

- CBS is pretty set. All the CSIs and both NCISs have deals, Hawaii 5-O does now, The Mantalist has a deal, Medium, Ghost Whisperer... -- nm - MDH Apr 15, 06:32
