CBS has pulled the plug on pretty much everything on their schedule without "CSI" or "NCIS" in the title.

What's gone? Cold Case, Numb3rs, Ghost Whisperer, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Gary Unmarried, Miami Medical, and Accidentally on Purpose.

They did renew Rules of Engagement and The Medium.

There's still hope for fans of Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Christine and Jennifer Love-Hewitt's Ghost Whisperer. ABC could be interested in both of those shows, but the odds are better for Christine. (Wanda Sykes co-stars on Christine, and her Fox talk show just got canceled last week). 

60 Minutes (7pm, CBS) - Steve Kroft interviews Conan O'Brien, who speaks publicly for the first time about his tumultuous departure from NBC.

Cold Case (9pm, CBS) - Two new back-to-back episodes tonight make up a two-part mystery season finale that unfortunately could also end up being the show's series finale. The first episode involves the death of a prom queen in 1989 and the second, the murder of a teenager in 1993. What ties the two episodes together is some serious drama with Lily's troubled sister. Music of the Rolling Stones is featured.

Celebrity Apprentice (9pm, NBC) - Trump generously gave everyone a pass last week, and no one went home. Tonight, the teams must produce radio commercials for a home-services company, and of course, there's quarreling and backbiting. I have no additional information about the episode, but I will bet Adrienne a Diet Coke that the fighting involves tittle-tattle Holly Robinson-Peete.

Desperate Housewives (9pm, ABC) - The episode description from ABC says nothing about the fact that Lynette and Tom have invited a serial killer to live with them. That's the only thing I'm really interested in at this point...

Brothers & Sisters (10pm, ABC) - The episode description from ABC says nothing about what the heck Rob Lowe's character is up to -- where he's going and why. That's the only thing I'm really interested in at this point... 

Breaking Bad (10pm, AMC) - Is this the best show on television, you ask? Why yes, it is. There should be way more buzz about this excellent little slice of televised perfection.  Here's where we are after last week's amazing episode: The search for Heisenberg is escalating quickly for Hank (Dean Norris, right), who has seriously come unhinged. If things weren't bad enough, now he has those murdering Mexican cousins with their big shiny ax after him. I'm not feeling particularly good about Hank's prospects. Will Walt be able to intervene on his behalf? 

Amazing Race 15 (8pm, CBS) - Contestants begin their journey
tonight in Los Angeles, but soon find themselves in Tokyo trying to survive a Japanese game show. Lots of great teams this year, but one stands out for me: two Harlem Globetrotters.

The Simpsons (8pm, Fox) - It's season 21 for our favorite Springfield family, and tonight's debut was co-written by Seth Rogen.
Rogen also lends his voice to the trainer getting Homer ready for his super hero movie role. Look for lots of big name guest stars this season, such as Sarah Silverman and Anne Hathaway.

Cleveland Show (8:30, Fox) - A "Family Guy" spinoff from Seth McFarlane and Mike Henry about a divorced father who returns to his hometown and romances his first love, who now has children of her own. Fox also debuts "Family Man," and "American Dad" tonight.

Desperate Housewives (9pm, ABC) - A "beloved character" is
attacked in tonight's premiere, and much of season 6 will focus on solving the question of whodunnit. There's a mysterious new couple on the block, played by Drea de Matteo ("Sopranos") and Jeffrey Nordling ("24"). The show will also immediately reveal who was at the altar with Mike in last year's finale -- Susan or Katherine?

Dexter (9pm, Showtime)
- Season 4 opens with Dexter in full Family Man mode. He's married now with two stepchildren and a new baby. The only problem is he's still dicing up bad guys in his spare time. Keith Carradine returns as Agent Frank Lundy get Dexter's help in tracking a new serial killer called The Trinity Killer, because he kills in threes. A mind-blowingly creepy John Lithgow plays Trinity.

Californication (10pm, Showtime) - Hank is up to his old nasty tricks this season, and has expanded his tom-catting territory to academia.  

Cold Case (10pm, CBS) - For the seventh season debut, the team is investigating the 1966 murder of a young woman aboard a luxury ocean liner.

Brothers & Sisters (10pm, ABC) - Another season, another medical crisis for an unnamed member of the Walker family. Also, this season, Kitty and Robert try to save their marriage, and Sarah has a fling with "Dancing with the Stars" and "Sex in the City" French hottie Gilles Marini. And Nora and Holly will fight a lot, of course.

There's also some great stuff airing tonight in non-premiere news...

Last week Adrienne informed us that my beloved Law & Order is on the JLN (Jay Leno Network) bubble. (That's on top of cancellations this season for Pushing Daisies, Life on Mars, Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, Boston Legal, and others). Now we're seeing the same bubble stress for long-running CBS dramas, Cold Case and Without a Trace.

Why? They cost too much. Scripted dramas are fast-approaching  endangered species status.
