The Upfronts may have passed us by with all of the major networks unveiling their 2013-14 lineups, but CBS has jumped ahead in the 2013 race by releasing its full fall premiere schedule. The new CBS lineup will premiere after the 2013 Emmy awards, kicking off with an hour-long final season premiere for 'How I Met Your Mother,' and a host of other changes.
Moving right along the major network pantheon, CBS is the latest to give out its lineup for fall 2013-2014 in advance of today's big Upfront presentation. No major shakeups, other than an expanded comedy block on Thursday nights and moves for both 'Person of Interest' and 'Hawaii Five-0,' but Chuck Lorre's 'Mike & Molly' will sit the fall out, while still producing a full season. Find out CBS' fall changes inside!
The next few weeks will prove plenty busy as broadcast networks announce their new and returning programs, CBS in particular offering a tense competition for the relatively few slots available. Amid all the programming scramble, we've heard that the eye network is looking to develop spinoffs from its popular series 'Elementary' and 'Person of Interest,' but where might we find the new series?
Earlier in the broadcast year CBS implied on a number of occasions that their 2013-2014 lineup would remain relatively consistent given their strong performances across the board, and today that proves to be true. The indomitable eye network has announced the renewals of 18 major series, including dramas, comedies and unscripted fare, but which major series were left off the list? Find out who's in and who's out at CBS inside!
What, you thought CBS was done with 'LOST' reunions after recruiting John Locke himself, Terry O'Quinn for a multi-episode arc alongside Daniel Dae Kim in procedural 'Hawaii Five-0?' Think again! The network will once again stoke the 'LOST' fires with arguably one of its its most recognizable actors, pairing 'Person of Interest's Michael Emerson with former Island guest star Ken Leung. Who else is on deck for the second season?
Love 'em or hate 'em, there's no denying that CBS is the most-watched network out these days, with their plethora of unforgettable programming like '2 Broke Girls,' and...well, 'Unforgettable.' So it should come as no surprise that when CBS looks to announce their 2012-2013 lineup, they're going to go big.
