'Century's' legal eagles lose retainer at CBS

From:NY Daily
Date:April 2,2004


"Century City" is no more.
CBS has yanked the legal drama after four episodes and will replace
it next week with "The Guardian."

"Century City" centered on a law firm in 2030 and starred Hector
Elizondo and Nestor Carbonell.

Trouble is, airing Tuesdays at 9 p.m., "Century City" faced
the "American Idol" steamroller on Fox. It also didn't help that
critical response was middling at best.

So it is that next Tuesday, "The Guardian," starring Simon Baker as a
lawyer thrust into community service after a drug bust, will be back
on the air.

"The Guardian" has also struggled to gain traction this season. It's
been labeled a bubble show by CBS executives, meaning its future is
uncertain.
