CBS’ has cut “Numb3rs’” sixth-season order from 22 to 16, suggesting the procedural may be on its last legs.

The Rob Morrow vehicle launched 19% lower in September than it did at the start of its fifth season, and has slipped further since. It remains the weakest of CBS’ Friday night dramas in the 18-49 demo (older ratings in parentheses):

2.0 (2.1) (2.0) (2.2) (1.7) (2.3) Ghost Whisperer
1.9 (2.1) (1.9) (2.0) (1.9) (2.1) Medium
1.7 (1.8) (1.8) (1.6) (1.6) (1.8) Numb3rs

“Numb3rs” is CBS’ third-lowest-rated series, after Saturday’s “48 Hours Mystery” and Sunday’s new (and likely doomed) medical drama “Three Rivers.”

CBS could replace “Numb3rs” with the recently renewed Toronto-set cop drama “Flashpoint.” Because the “Flashpoint” is produced by and for Canada’s CTV network, it’s likely a lot cheaper for CBS to license than “Numb3rs.”
