CBS Fall 2016-2017 Schedule




On Wednesday, CBS presented it Upfront for the 2016-2017 season with the advertisers.

The big news out of this would be that there will be eight comedies on the network as they are restrting their signature Monday comedy block, with the return of Kevin James' new series "Kevin Can Wait." This will be James' return to the network on Mondays at 8 pm slot where King of Queens spent most of it's 9 year run. James will be joining with Matt LeBlanc and his new sitcom "Man with a Plan."

After CBS scaled back on their Monday comedy block to one hour two years ago and getting way with it all of last season, the network is re-expanding it in a major way with the return of the two-hour block.

Like this isn't new, CBS is using it's strongest shows to launch new shows. The network's #1 drama, NCIS, will be used as the launching pad for Bull, who's stars by the departed NCIS co-star Michael Weatherly. So I guess he's departure didn't really need to be that big since he's coming right back. TO make room for Bull (no pun intended) NCIS: New Orleans will be moving to 10 pm.

With CBS top comedy The Big Bang Theory will help launch fellow ensemble multi-camera comedy The Great Indoors, starring Joel McHale.

Here's the CBS Fall 2016-2017 schedule:

CBS Renews Code Black, Beyond Borders and Odd Couple.






As the Upfronts are underway, CBS has winnow i's bubble show list for those that get renewal and cancelled.

CBS has announced that Code Black, Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders are renewed for a second season and also renewed The Odd Couple for a third season.

Code Black and Beyond Borders have performed not just in the ratings but creatively and performance as well.

Expect to see some changes come season two for Code Black with new characters and such.

The Odd Couple have performed both Thursday and Monday nights  well and found it's stride.

I'm guessing CBS will be milking the Friends mini-reunion when Matt LeBlanc's new series premieres.

As for popping the bubble, CBS announced that Rush Hour will not get a second season. Rebooting a film to television isn't going well but that won't stop networks trying from FOX's Lethal Weapon.
