THE SKED: CBS Explains "How To Be" A Flop Sitcom

Well, that didn't take long.  Here's the difference these days between CBS and NBC:  earlier this week, NBC rewarded UP ALL NIGHT and WHITNEY, two sitcoms that most recently had 2.3 ratings, with full season back-orders, and has generally been treating them like new smash hits.  This afternoon, HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN, which had a 2.5 rating last night, was demoted by CBS to the wasteland of Saturday night and had its order cut from 13 episodes to 9 (the 9th episode being the one that's shooting tonight--Happy Yom Kippur, everyone!).  So basically, as close as a show can come to being cancelled without actually using that word.
