Months ago, when CBS first started showing promos for this show, it piqued my interest. Drama and baseball is a good mix in my book.
The pilot was pretty good. The first half, I thought the baseball scenes and when Pete was with the team, the show was great but the homelife seemed underdeveloped but when Pete's mother burst onto the field to confront Pete, I changed my mind. She didn't care that she was talking to famous ball players. Great character.
I thought Mare Winningham and Christopher Lloyd did very well. Never seen Lloyd in a dramatic role and I'm impressed.
Also I think Jeremy Sumpter is quite a find. Very talented.
Now if the writers will just keep the storylines believable:
The girl Pete met from the stands. Please.
Conrad Dean coming to Pete's house so he can get a batboy back on the team. Don't think so.

Overall though, I liked it. This show will be on my tuesday tv watching schedule.

I'm afraid this show is on it's last legs but CBS is giving it one last chance on Satudays.
Tonite's ep is a Zap2it best bet so hopefully, that will get some people to give it a shot. It really is a decent show.

Clubhouse
8:00 PM - CBS
It doesn't seem like CBS has much faith in this freshman drama, as the network has moved it into the TV graveyard known as Saturday night. It's unfortunate, but it's not like CBS doesn't have a bunch of other seriously successful shows. Tonight, Lou (Christopher Lloyd) walks out on his longtime job as equipment manager when upper management insists that the team's clubhouse be run more efficiently. Perhaps they also asked him to decrease the 1.21 gigawatts needed to send the Delorean to the future. Meanwhile, Pete (Jeremy Sumpter) agrees to run for school president -- but Mike's (Dan Byrd) campaign strategy is solely based on the Empires. Robert Forster ("Jackie Brown") guest stars

I guess the move to Saturdays didn't work.

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) If CBS's move of "Clubhouse" from Tuesday to Saturday night was like sending the show to the minors, then the network's latest action is tantamount to giving the baseball-themed series an outright release.

"Clubhouse" is gone from the schedule for at least the rest of November after whiffing in its first Saturday airing Nov. 6. That's all CBS is saying about the show for now, but its prospects for returning are probably shaky at best.

Saturday's episode drew only 4.2 million viewers, a low number even in the relative dead zone that is Saturday primetime. "Clubhouse" finished behind "Cops" on FOX and reruns of "The Most Outrageous Game Show Moments" on NBC and "Lost" on ABC. Its adults 18-49 rating was an equally anemic 1.0.

The move to Saturdays came because the show was creating a hole in CBS's Tuesday night. "Clubhouse" drew an average of 8.6 million viewers in three Tuesday airings, losing nearly 40 percent of the audience from its lead-in, "NCIS" (14.2 million). The show that followed it, "Judging Amy," brings in about 10.5 million people per week.

Last season, "The Guardian" averaged 11.4 million viewers in the timeslot through the end of October.

Repeats will fill the 8 p.m. Saturday spot on CBS for the rest of November. This week the network will re-air its "Dallas" reunion special, followed by an "Amazing Race" encore Nov. 20 and "Cold Case" Nov. 27. "The Amazing Race 6" is moving into "Clubhouse's" former Tuesday home on Nov. 16.

"Clubhouse" is the second new CBS drama to be yanked from the schedule this fall. The Rob Lowe-Joe Pantoliano vehicle "dr. vegas" was also pulled for sweeps.
