We knew this was going to happen.
On Wednesday, CBS has announced that they're juggling of the fall lineup with shows like Star Trek: Discovery and others that had been acquired to buy time unit NCIS and Young Sheldon return with new episodes.
CBS Entertainment chief Kelly Kahl said in a statement, "This is hardly a traditional fall season, but we are prepared with a strong slate of original content while our regular scripted series begin production. (We) hope to start rolling out our previously announced fall series as they become available in November."
Along with the beaming of Discovery's Season One voyage premiering on Thursday night lineup, CBS will use Season four of the acclaimed Netflix turned PopTV sitcom One Day at a Time to occupy some of the Monday lineups. Along with Manhunt: Deadly Games, a Spectrum's true crime anthology, will close out Mondays starting September 21st.

Midseason
Clarice, Survivor and Undercover BossWith shows looking to begin production the end of August to sometime in September; this is what was expected to come with networks acquiring other shows from streaming services and other broadcasting networks to fulfill the network with fresh content.
The lineup for the beginning of the fall looks okay (in my opinion). The one thing I'm really looking forward to seeing One Day at a Time return to the original series' network. And maybe, just maybe I might check out Star Trek Discovery that people are so divided about.
