TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS has given a de facto cancellation to Wisdom of the Crowd as it will not pick up any more episodes, leaving it at only 13. While all 13 are likely to air, it would take a miracle for it not to be the end of the road for the disappointing Sunday drama especially with the Jeremy Piven accusations.
- CBS gave full season orders to Superior Donuts and Man with a Plan, which had only been picked up for 13 seasons each. With only one new comedy slated for midseason and the disappointments of 9JKL and Me, Myself & I, this was not a surprising move.
- After that news, CBS released its midseason schedule. The Amazing Race will serve as a Survivor bridge, premiering January 3. Celebrity Big Brother will air as competition to the Olympics on NBC, premiering right before the Olympics on February 7. New Comedy Living Biblically will take over the Monday 9:30pm slot starting February 26 while new drama Instinct premieres March 11 at 8pm. No premiere dates have been announced for Code Black or Elementary, though Elementary was given an additional 8 episodes for its sixth season, bringing its total to 21.
- NBC announced its winter replacements for The Voice. On Mondays, it will be The Wall, which did well last year as a Voice filler, and Better Late Than Never (last seen in Summer 2016) starting January 1. On Tuesdays, it will be the new Ellen's Game of Games, which will get a sneak preview after The Voice on December 18 and begin airing regularly on January 2.
- FOX has ordered six more episodes of Ghosted and will bring it Paul Lieberstein as a new showrunner. While not a full season, it is certainly a good sign for the freshman sitcom especially with New Girl ending and Brooklyn Nine-Nine likely to join it.
