Guys With Kids has been a modest performer on Wednesdays at 8:30, growing from its weak Animal Practice lead-in and remaining steady with new 8 p.m. entry Whitney. This week's episode held steady with 3.8 million total viewers and a 1.3 in the coveted adults 18-49 demo. The order brings the series to 17 half-hours.

At CBS, meanwhile, the network has made its annual episodic order adjustments based on scheduling needs, picking up two extra episodes of freshman Sherlock Holmes drama Elementary, while cutting an hour from its period Western Vegas.
