MONDAYS
8:00 Kevin Can Wait
8:30 Man with a Plan
9:00 MURPHY BROWN
9:30 WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD
10:00 NCIS: New Orleans
CBS has to do something about their Mondays but I think they might leave the 8pm hour alone because I think they'll want to put Murphy Brown back in its old 9pm timeslot. Any comedy pilot could follow it but I am guessing Welcome to the Neighborhood. I think NCIS: New Orleans follows the NCIS: Los Angeles path and heads off of Tuesdays and onto Mondays at 10pm.

TUESDAYS
8:00 NCIS
9:00 Bull
10:00 F.B.I.
I think CBS will leave the NCIS-Bull combo alone especially with This is Us and Roseanne both most likely on the night. I think they will try a new show at 10pm instead and Dick Wolf's F.B.I. seems like it might fit with this lineup.

WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Survivor
9:00 MURDER
10:00 SEAL Team
If CBS keeps SEAL Team on Wednesdays at 9pm, that is a huge mistake. I think they will renew Criminal Minds but for a shortened final season that bows at midseason. So I think they'll try a new drama at 9pm - perhaps Murder? - and slide SEAL Team back to 10pm.

THURSDAYS
8:00 The Big Bang Theory
8:30 Young Sheldon
9:00 Mom
9:30 FAM
10:00 S.W.A.T.
I think CBS will leave Thursdays mostly alone except for trying a new comedy at 9:30pm, and my guess is Fam. I think they'll hold Life in Pieces for midseason.

FRIDAYS
8:00 MacGyver
9:00 Hawaii Five-0
10:00 Blue Bloods
Despite their ugly performance this past Friday, I don't see this lineup changing.

SATURDAYS
8:00 Encores
10:00 48 Hours

SUNDAYS
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 MAGNUM P.I.
9:00 NCIS: Los Angeles
10:00 Madam Secretary
Magnum P.I. is a hot pilot for CBS and I think it will get the Sunday 8pm slot that can get a big NFL boost in the fall. I think they'll leave NCIS: Los Angeles and Madam Secretary where they are.

MIDSEASON: THE CODE, GOD FRIENDED ME, PANDAS IN NEW YORK, UNTITLED DAMON WAYANS JR., The Amazing Race, Criminal Minds, Life in Pieces

CANCELLED/ENDED: 9JKL, Instinct, Living Biblically, Me Myself & I, Ransom, Scorpion, Superior Donuts, Wisdom of the Crowd
