So what’s next for CBS and CTV’s police drama Flashpoint?
Amid all the amazing season finales last Friday, some of us probably needed two DVRs just to keep up.

On Friday April 24, CBS’ Flashpoint and Numb3rs took the lead!
Friday night’s episodes of Flashpoint and Numb3rs helped bring CBS to the ratings winner’s circle. Flashpoint’s new episode attracted 8.2 million viewers which left ABC’s Supernanny in the dust.

In a recent article, it was noted that many of our favorite prime time TV stars are non-American. Looking over the list, many of them are some of our favorite FBI drama stars.
