CBS Pulls 'Partners' From Schedule

CBS has finally pulled freshman comedy Partners from its schedule, effectively immediately, according to a scheduling note from the network.

The axe comes as Partners,
from Will & Grace creators David
Kohan and Max Mutchnick, posted a series-low 1.8 rating with adults 18-49 for
its most recent episode
even as other CBS comedies were up or flat.

The network will opt for comedy repeats in the Monday at 8:30 p.m. timeslot in the interim, with a repeat of Two and a Half Men airing on Nov. 19, likely until
new midseason comedy Friend Me or
veteran utility player Rules of
Engagement can come off the bench.
