"Rush Hour" loses comedy aspect & runs with action sequences

RUSH HOUR on CBS. (S01E03). Did you watch last night's episode called, "Captain Cole's Playlist?." You didn't miss much because now the TV show has lost its' comedy. It now relies on action & fight sequences. The funny banter between Carter & Lee is hardly there in the 3rd episode. Lee looks tired who doesn't have the comedy chops to pull off his fish-out-of-water scenes. Jackie Chan at least made it fun in the movies. He dealt with the crazy Chris Tucker. It looks like it might turn into another formula action cop show. 

It is also slipping slowly in the TV ratings with its' overall audience (4.23 down from 2nd episode of 4.83. Down from 1st episode 5.10. The adult TV ratings dropped from 1st episode 1.1 down to 3rd episode 0.8).
