Everybody, it's time to say goodbye to "The Bridge".
Wait, what do you mean you weren't one of the 2.8 million viewers watching the Canadian import that aired Saturdays on CBS?
Vulture is reporting the low-rated cop drama has gotten the boot from CBS after just three episodes.
Its replacement? Repeats of CBS's canceled crime procedural "Cold Case".
Aaron Douglas, Chief Tyrol to "Battlestar Galactica" fans, headlined "The Bridge", a series about a police union head cleaning up the corrupt force.
Last week's episode was seen by 2.8 million viewers; 426,000 of them were under the age of 50. In TV terms, that's not good. At all.
Reportedly CBS only paid about $500,000 per episode of the CTV series, that's a small amount by industry standards.
