UPFRONTS 2016: What CBS Will Do

Here is my CBS prediction! Check out my CBS suggestion.

Past CBS predictions: 2015   2014   2013   2012   2011

MONDAYS
8:00 (Sep) The Big Bang Theory/(Nov) 2 Broke Girls
8:30 UNTITLED KEVIN JAMES
9:00 Scorpion
10:00 NCIS: Los Angeles
Something tells me that CBS is still not going to be able to resist airing The Big Bang Theory for a couple weeks on Mondays before moving it back to Thursdays. However, I do think they'll go back to a comedy hour on the night and have 2 Broke Girls take over for Big Bang after a couple weeks with both leading into the new Kevin James sitcom. I think they'll leave 9-11pm in tact even though one of those slots might be a prime spot for a new drama.

 TUESDAYS
8:00 NCIS
9:00 NCIS: New Orleans
10:00 BULL
Tuesdays will most likely have NCIS and NCIS: New Orleans and I think they'll keep them both where they are and launch another new drama at 10pm. This time: Bull starring departing NCIS star Michael Weatherly.

 WEDNESDAYS
8:00 Survivor
9:00 Criminal Minds
10:00 Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders
I think CBS will keep Wednesdays in tact and give Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders more of a chance to grow behind the mothership.

 THURSDAYS
(Sep) 8:00 Thursday Night Football

 (Nov)
8:00 The Big Bang Theory
8:30 MY TIME/YOUR TIME
9:00 Mom
9:30 Life in Pieces
10:00 Code Black
CBS will be able to launch its Thursday lineup a little bit earlier than last year but they still run into the holidays problem not too long after launching. So I think they will go conservative here with mostly returning shows, including Code Black, which seems to have a shot now. The only new show I think they'll do is one after The Big Bang Theory. It could be any number of them, but I am guessing My Time/Your Time.

 FRIDAYS
8:00 The Amazing Race
9:00 Hawaii Five-0
10:00 Blue Bloods
I don't think CBS should or will mess with their successful Friday lineup.

 SATURDAYS
8:00 Drama Encores
10:00 48 Hours
Of course

 SUNDAYS
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 BUNKER HILL
9:00 Madam Secretary
10:00 Elementary
I think CBS may try something new at 8pm this year with The Good Wife gone and Madam Secretary easily able to slide to 9pm. It could be comedies I suppose, but I'm going to guess they'll try the potentially upscale audience show Bunker Hill.

 MIDSEASON: DREW, FOUR STARS, THE GREAT INDOORS, I'M NOT YOUR FRIEND, Life in Pieces, Supergirl, The Odd Couple, Undercover Boss
Rumors are flying that Supergirl could be headed to the CW and I wouldn't be shocked if that ends up the case. I think shows like Life in Pieces and The Odd Couple could be bridge shows for Survivor and The Amazing Race. Of course, CBS may be tempted to get Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc back together by pairing The Odd Couple with the new I'm Not Your Friend.

 CANCELLED/ENDED: Angel From Hell, CSI: Cyber, The Good Wife, Limitless, Mike & Molly, Rush Hour

EPISODE GUIDES: That 70s Show Season Seven

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Seven of  That 70s Show ! THAT 70s SHOW: SEASON SEVEN 2004-2005 25 episodes The seventh season of  That 70s Show  is the final season with Topher Grace as a series regular and also the final full season for Ashton Kutcher. Despite still having both of those cast member, the show finds itself flailing especially with Topher Grace's Eric, who is stuck in a terrible arc for most of the season. The show also brings many characters back at one point or another but everything just feels tired. This season actually graded out the worst for me. Even worse than the often maligned final season (more on that next week). Every title this season is named for a Rolling Stones song. Starring Topher Grace as Eric Forman  (25 episodes) Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart  (25 episodes) Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso  (25 episodes) Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde  (25 e...

EPISODE GUIDES: Rhoda Season Five

On Thursdays, I go through classic series with a critical look at each season. Today I am looking at Season Five (the final season) of  Rhoda ! RHODA: SEASON FIVE 1978 13 episodes Rhoda' s final season was a truncated one as the show was cancelled in December 1978 after only 13 episodes had been produced (and only nine had aired). This feels like a continuation from season four in many ways except with the ill-advised split between Ida and Martin (more on that below). While  Rhoda  has an occasional good moment and even a couple decent episodes, it is a show that seems so wildly different from season one and not in a good way.  Rhoda  could never figure out what it fully wanted to be and only made it four and a half seasons as a result. Starring Valerie Harper as Rhoda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Julie Kavner as Brenda Morgenstern  (13 episodes) Ray Buktenica as Benny Goodwin  (11 episodes) Kenneth McMillan as Jack Doyle  (9 episodes) Nancy Wa...

SCHEDULES OF THE PAST: 1995-1996 Thursdays

On Tuesdays, I take a look at schedules from yesteryear. Here's a look at Thursdays in the 1995-96 season! ABC 8:00 8:30 9:00 10:00 Sep Charlie Grace The Monroes Various Programs Oct Murder One Nov Various Programs Dec Various Programs Thursday Night Movie Jan Feb World’s Funniest Videos Before They Were Stars! Mar Apr May NBC was the powerhouse on Thursday nights but ABC still gave it the old college try in the Fall of 1995 with a trio of new dramas that they hoped would help them cut into the Peacock's dominance. Headlining their night was Murder One , a high profile new show from Steven Bochco that received much of the network's attention before the season started. The series focused on one murder case for an entire season, whi...
