i can't think of one CBS procedural, other than Person of Interest maybe, where all of the cast members wouldn't be interchangable

holding out for more money on one of those shows is like expecting the New England Patriots to open up Bob Kraft's checkbook for you

Responses:

you couldn't swap out many of the characters or actors in Ncis. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 10, 16:02 3
- NCIS:LA has proved this, right? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:03 1
  - actually yes. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 10, 16:06
- agreed, that's one reason why it's so popular. -- nm - loosi at home Jul 10, 16:02
I think the list on CBS at this point begins and ends with Mark Harmon -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 10, 15:58 8
- you could replace him with any 80s TV action dude and NCIS's ratings would barely flinch -- nm - charlie Jul 10, 16:00 1
  - "Allow me to introduce Special Agent T." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:01
- PoI would not be the same show without Finch and Reese. - Beryllium Jul 10, 15:59 5
  - I'm not ready to call PoI a procedural for them yet. - Will Hunting Jul 10, 16:00 3
    - Just because he plays stiff as a board, doesn't mean they can replace him with a cardboard cutout. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:02 2
      - I *love* Caviezel in that role. Love. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 10, 16:08 1
        
        Me too :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 16:08
  - ^-- what would happen in this case is the show would get canned, I think. But maybe the ratings are better than I think? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 10, 15:59
Grissum when CSI started would likely be the other one -- nm - Beaker Jul 10, 15:57 1
- Yes, although ted danson has done well - Beryllium Jul 10, 15:58
