大陸那邊有人提供原文消息了
簡單來講，由於面臨財政壓力，CBS高層認為CC與WaT的成本與回收無法打平。目前傾向
是在「鍘刀」或是「削減演員報酬」這兩個方法中擇一。

Pair of CBS shows marked for death

With the economy struggling, CBS' cost-cutting measures means two of its
programs are on the Death Clock.

Cost-cutting means no more Grey Goose during Cold Case happy hours. Bummer!
For most Americans, the plummeting economy means substituting Admiral
Snack'ems for Captain Crunch, Dr. Skipper for Dr. Pepper, and pieces of
cardboard in melted Parmesan for Mac 'n Cheese. For major television
networks, the financial nosedive means cancelling some of its pricier shows
outright.

CBS may be battling for the title of America's Most Watched Network, but it's
also trying to be America's Most Cost-Efficient Network. According to EW.com,
the two CBS procedurals Without a Trace and Cold Case are firmly on the
chopping block as the network looks to stay in the black.

"[Cold Case and Without a Trace] no longer have the type of ratings that
justify the massive overhead," a source tells EW. However, the source also
says that producers are looking for ways to tighten the belt, which likely
means reduced salaries for actors rather than making sets out of balsa wood.

While both shows draw great general numbers, not enough hip, young,
money-spenders watch them, which means advertisers think they can't sell fast
cars, pheromone-pumping body spray, or anything that may cause dentures to
fall out on the two shows. If either of these programs do go under, it will
be more fuel for the great "overall viewers"-versus-"18-49-year-old viewers"
debate.

Without a Trace is currently in its seventh season, and Cold Case is in its
sixth.

Have Without a Trace and Cold Case run their course? Do they deserve another
shot?

題外話，我看到的Rumor說CC的成本開銷都是在經典要素的老歌版權費，這也造成CC的
DVD推出時程非常緩慢。
