What is the grand CBS plan for fall?
Well, they canceled a whole bunch of stuff yesterday, and they're switching the nights for "CSI: New York" and "CSI: Miami." They'll also move "Survivor" from Thursdays to Wednesdays, and move "Big Bang Theory" from Monday to Thursday. Following "Big Bang" will be a new William Shatner sitcom called "$#*! My Dad Says."
Here's how things shake out (new shows in bold):
Monday: Starting at 8pm are the sitcoms "How I Met Your Mother," "Two & a Half Men," and "Rules of Engagement." At 9:30 is a new Chuck Lorre (Big Bang Theory) sitcom called "Mike & Molly," about a plus-sized couple who meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting and date. At 10pm CBS will launch a remake of "Hawaii Five-O" starring Alex O'Loughlin, Scott Caan, and Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost").
Tuesday: Why tinker with success? "NCIS," "NCIS: Los Angeles," and "The Good Wife" are doing just fine on Tuesdays, and nothing changes there.
Wednesday: "Survivor" will air at 8pm, followed by "Criminal Minds." At 10pm is a new show called "The Defenders," a legal dramedy with Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell as Las Vegas lawyers.
Thursday: "Big Bang Theory" at 8pm (where it goes up against "Community" on NBC), followed by "$#*! My Dad Says" (based on the very popular Twitter feed @shitmydadsays, and pronounced "Bleep My Dad Says"). After that we keep "CSI" at 9pm and "The Mentalist" at 10pm.
Friday: "Medium" moves into 8pm, with "CSI: NY" at 9pm, and a new cop show called "Blue Bloods" at 10pm. "Blue Bloods" is about a mulit-generational family of New York cops, and stars Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg.
Saturday: This stays the same -- random repeats and the occasional "48 Hours Mystery."
Sunday: "Amazing Race" at 8pm, "Undercover Boss" at 9pm, and "CSI: Miami" at 10pm. Of course, "60 Minutes" is back at 7pm.

They've got some nerve
Wed, 05/19/2010 - 18:25 — ncsurveygirlThey've got some nerve moving the Big Bang Theory, do they want it canceled?! Seriously drop Rules of Engagement CBS, and booo about canceling Accidentally on Purpose. Honestly, if it wasnt for The BB Theory and HIMYM, I wouldnt watch CBS at all.
Also hate Rules
Thu, 05/20/2010 - 20:53 — brookecain (author)I don't like "Rules" (or "Two & a Half Men") on Monday nights, so I'd be happy if that went away. On Thursday nights, "BBT" will be up against "Community" and also a new ABC drama called "My Generation." Plus -- the buzz around that Shatner sitcom that will follow BBT is not good at all. It sounds like a stinker. So I'm not sure this is a great move for "BBT." SHELDON FOREVER!
