Midnight ⊗ Souls

Medium star Jake Weber has claimed that he is not concerned by the show's cancellation. CBS confirmed that the series had been axed in November and the series finale will air tonight at 8/7c. "I have a family now," Weber told Assignment X. "It's lovely to work with [the cast, but] there's a whole world out there. I'm really happy to be in this world [of Medium] but when this is over, I look forward to trying... something else."

However, the Dawn of the Dead star admitted that he was "happy to be back" for one final season. "Every year, [the show's renewal has] always been a question mark, and this was no different," he said. "It always seems to be a drama. A friend of mine said his favorite soap opera on TV was the renewal of Medium the year before, when we switched networks."

Medium creator Glenn Gordon Caron recently suggested that viewers "will tear up" when the final episode airs. [SOURCE]

CBS took the night with new episodes of "Medium" and "CSI: NY" and a rerun of "The Mentalist." The Friday night news programs of "Primetime, "Dateline" and "20/20" were good for NBC and ABC to almost tie in second. CBS led with 8.1 million viewers and a 5.1 rating/9 share among households. NBC was second at 5.1 million, 3.2/6 and ABC was a close third with 5.0 million, 3.3/6. FOX was not far behind at 4.7 million, 2.8/5 and the CW's reruns were good for 1.6 million, 1.0/2. In the 18-49 demo, CBS also won (1.5), but NBC (1.4), ABC (1.3) and FOX (1.2) were right behind. The CW was last with 0.6. 

It was the quietest stunt casting ever as CBS buried news that David Arquette had replaced actor Ryan Hurst as Patricia Arquette's brother on "Medium" in a fairly innocuous episode rundown released last week. Although a lack of desire to hype the guest spot is understandable given David's recent real life transgressions.

David's episode, "Only Half Lucky," airs Friday and revolves around a dream that causes Allison to become suspicious of her brother's recent success. Guess art imitates life on "Medium" only as far as casting is concerned. [SOURCE]
