CBS has given its CIA drama "Chaos" the heave-ho after just three weeks on the air. As a result, "Flashpoint" will rejoin the network's schedule a little sooner than originally planned."Chaos" drew pretty meager ratings in its three weeks on the air, averaging 6 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. Even by in the lowered-expectations clmate of Friday-night ratings, that wasn't enough to keep it on the air.
CBS will replace the show with a "CSI: NY" rerun at 8 p.m. this Friday (April 22) and a royal wedding special the following week. The fourth season of the Canadian cop drama "Flashpoint" will fill the timeslot starting on May 6.
"Flashpoint" had been slated for a summer run again this year, but it will now get a couple of in-season airings as well.

No surprise here as this show was doomed from the get-go. Bring The Dukes back when it could pop a rating at one time.
By far the greatest news of the TV season. Sorry CBS your ratings power is over, no more Charlie Sheen and way too many crime dramas and spin-offs.
Glad to have Flashpoint back
CHAOs is getting pulled is great news? Wow-doesn't take much to give you great news.One average show getting cut means nothing
Kevin your a tool! cbs is still doing well with the other shows...go watch stupid NBC law and order LA
Yes so glad to hear this. Now May the 6th sure needs to get here. Flashpoint is # 1 in my book....
Wasn't Flashpoint supposed to move new episodes to Ion Channel???
"Insert happy/jumping for joy emoticon here" FLASHPOINT!!!
So glad to get new episodes of Flashpoint sooner! I feel like CBS treats this high quality show with such little respect.
will these episodes be episodes that already aired in canada sept-dec or will they be new eps?
