 NEW YORK (AP) - Taking a few chances to spice up a stodgy image, CBS said Wednesday it would air a musical next season and series about a vampire, kids taking over a town without adult supervision and 1970s-era swingers.
The network also canceled its nuclear apocalypse drama "Jericho," another sign that networks are shying away from serial dramas after gorging on them earlier this season.
CBS is set to clinch its fifth consecutive year as the nation's most popular network, and will leap past ABC into second behind Fox among the youthful demographic advertisers seek. But its executives complain that CBS gets little buzz, that it is seen as the play-it-safe network in programming choices.
