CBS Fall 2022 Schedule: SWAT And Ghosts on the Move

 On Wednesday morning, CBS became the third network to release its fall 2022 schedule after NBC and ABC had done but not FOX (quite yet). So, what to expect in the new schedule? 

SWAT is returning to its Friday leadoff spot, where it will kick off the new firefighter drama, Fire Country (starring SEAL Team's Max Thieriot). NCIS: Los Angeles will, in turn, move an hour later on Sundays, which will make way for the new cop drama, East New York.

The newest reality series, The Real Love Boat, will close out Wednesday night, anchored by the new seasons of Survivor and The Amazing Race. 

And Thursdays look to be a bit different, with only two Thursday sitcoms now, Young Sheldon and Ghosts (moving a half-hour earlier), which will kick off into the freshman dramedy So Help Me Todd (Starring Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin). While CSI: Vegas' second season will close out the night.

Here's a look at the schedule:

MONDAY:

8/7c The Neighborhood

8:30/7:30c Bob Hearts Abishola

9/8c NCIS.

CBS made some changes and added more new shows to its fall schedule compared to NBC (two new shows) and ABC (three new shows). CBS has gone back to two comedies and two dramas for their Thursday night lineup (something they haven't done since the 2012-2013 season). 

Fire Country and East New York look promising from the trailers, but I still have some doubts about So Help Me Todd.

The schedule looks solid, and I look forward to the new seasons of CBS' Tuesday night and Thursday night. I wonder if they will kick off SEAL Team's new season by airing on CBS for a couple of weeks and airing the rest on Paramount+ because I thought that was a brilliant move to kick off the newly rebranded streaming service. 

What do you think of CBS' fall schedule? Are you looking forward to their new programing? Leave a comment below.

ABC 2022 Fall Schedule: Abbott Elementary, Big Sky Moves And More Bachelor In Paradise

 On Tuesday, ABC was the latest broadcast network to release its 2022 Fall TV schedule (after NBC). So what to expect? Several series will be on the move, less comedy and more.

ABC will be downsizing its comedy from two nights (Tuesday and Wednesday) to one night (Wednesday). The red-shot Abbott Elementary will be on the move from Tuesday to Wednesday at the 9 pm timeslot. The Conners, which had that previous timeslot, will kick off the night at 8pm, where it will lead into The Goldbergs. And the new Hilary Swank drama series will take over the post-Grey's timeslot on Thursdays at 10, moving Big Sky to Wednesdays at 10pm.

The summertime staple Bachelor In Paradise will be getting a regular season upgrade, airing both on Mondays (replacing DWTS) and Tuesdays from 8-10pm. A Million Little Things, which could be looking into its final season, will be held until midseason along with the sophomore comedy The Wonders Years and the new Gina Rodriguez comedy, Not Dead Yet.

And expect a new weekly celebrity edition of Jeopardy! will be paired with Celebrity Wheel of Fortune on Sunday night.

Here's the schedule:

MONDAY:

8/7c Bachelor in Paradise

10/9c The Good Doctor

TUESDAY:

8/7c Bachelor in Paradise

10/9c The Rookie: FEDS (new)

WEDNESDAY:

8/7c The Conners

8:30/7:30c The Goldbergs

9/8c Abbott Elementary (new night)

SUNDAY:

MIDSEASON:

A Million Little Things, American Idol, The Bachelor, Judge Steve Harvey, Not Dead Yet (Teaser), and The Wonder Years.

CANCELLED:

black-ish (ended), Promised Land and Queens

Like NBC, ABC has made some slight changes. The network's Wednesday and Thursday nights look solid programming-wise. Alaska looks interesting to see, as it has that Big Sky mystery vibes. And while it looks funny from the 15-second teaser, I might have to catch Not Dead Yet when it premieres.
