It's almost like Les Moonves is still prowling the hallways of CBS looking
for young actresses to shag so he can cheat on Julie--laugh track sitcoms
and procedural dramas dominate the Eye's lineup as if Les never left, with
a few exceptions. Here's how fall looks, as reported by the Wrap, new
shows have (N) next to them:
MONDAY
8-8:30 p.m. — THE NEIGHBORHOOD
8-9 p.m. — BOB ❤ ABISHOLA (N)--It wouldn't be a CBS fall schedule without a
new Chuck Lorre show--this one brings back Billy Gardell from "Mike and
Molly" to play a sock salesman from Detroit who falls in love with his
Nigerian immigrant cardiac nurse and sets out to claim her as his. As if
we all do. Noted right-wing anti-vaxxer Christine Ebersole is in the cast
(she's not playing Abishola, sillies). From Lorre's home at Warners and of
course it's multi-cam.
9-10 p.m. — ALL RISE (N)--A legal eagle drama that takes a look at more
than just the attorneys--in fact, the central character is a judge played
by Simone Missick, an assistant DA promoted to the job who seems to be one
of those activist judges Republicans hate. Also in the cast is Marg
Helgenberger back on CBS and Broadway stars who won't be singing a note
Lindsay Mendez and Ruthie Ann Miles. From Warners.
10-11 p.m. — BULL--Still on despite Steven Spielberg's Amblin pulling out
of the show after Eliza Dushku's accusations of sexual misconduct.
TUESDAY
8-9 p.m. — NCIS
9-10 p.m. — FBI
10-11 p.m. — NCIS: NEW ORLEANS
Considering that NBC changed its current schedule in April to keep the
voice away from "NCIS," to paraphrase Dan Patrick (get well soon), you
still can't stop "NCIS," you can only hope to contain it.
WEDNESDAY
8-9 p.m. — SURVIVOR
9-10 p.m. — SEAL TEAM
10-11 p.m. — S.W.A.T.
CBS isn't blinking--they're saying to Fox "bring it ("The Masked Singer")
on."
THURSDAY
8-8:30 p.m. — YOUNG SHELDON
8-9 p.m. — THE UNICORN (N)--Here's a surprise--CBS is giving "Young
Sheldon" one-camera sitcom company with this series about best friends
supporting a recent widower (Walton Goggins) by telling him he is a
"unicorn"--in other words, the perfect single guy. Will he believe them
and get back into the dating game? Rob Corddry's one of his friends.
In-house.
9-9:30 p.m. — MOM
9-10 p.m. — CAROL’S SECOND ACT (N)--Patricia Heaton's back on CBS with a
new multi-cam sitcom in which she plays a retired teacher and mother who
decides to go to medical school at the age of 50. Kyle MacLachlan plays
one of her teachers, who probably likes a damn good pie and coffee.
In-house.
10-11 p.m. — EVIL (N)--Michelle and Robert King step away from the world of
"The Good Wife" and "The Good Fight" with "(a) psychological mystery that
examines the origins of evil along the dividing line between science and
religion." Now there's something you don't always get on network
television--and I'm surprised it wasn't shipped out to CBS All Access.
In-house.
FRIDAY
8-9 p.m. — HAWAII FIVE-0
9-10 p.m. — MAGNUM P.I.
10-11 p.m. — BLUE BLOODS
SATURDAY
8-9 p.m. — CRIMETIME SATURDAY
9-10 p.m. — CRIMETIME SATURDAY
10-11 p.m. — 48 HOURS
SUNDAY
7-8 p.m. — 60 MINUTES
8-9 p.m. — GOD FRIENDED ME
9-10 p.m. — NCIS: LOS ANGELES
10-11 p.m. — MADAM SECRETARY
As for mid-season:
FBI: MOST WANTED--Dick Wolf can't have too many franchises, and so here
comes the second "FBI" series, centering around the task force that tracks
down the criminals on the famed Most Wanted list. Julian McMahon leads the
force, with Alana de la Garza rejoining a Wolf series after being on "L&O"
in its later years. In-house with Wolf's usual home at Universal.
TOMMY--Edie Falco's back on TV as LA's first woman police chief in a series
that promises elements of procedural, political and family drama. Creator
Paul Attansio includes "Homicide" and "House" on his resume--but he also
has "Bull." In-house.
BROKE--The multi-cam is already asking us to believe that Pauley Perrette
(back on CBS) is a mom (I just don't see her as that type). They're also
asking us to believe that her ne'er-do-well brother and his family are
showing up on her doorstep to ensue lots of hilarity. Mexican TV star
Jaime Camil (who was on "Jane the Virgin") plays the brother and Natasha
Leggero his wife. "Jane" creator Jennie Snyder Urman's one of the
creators. In-house.
We wrap up with The CW tomorrow.
