Upfronts Update: CBS Announces Fall Schedule

CBS has ordered five new series - two comedies and three dramas - toadd to its 18 returning shows. Like the other nets we’ve seen so far, this is largely a stand-pat schedule shaped by the behind-the-scenes tumult of the writers strike. The biggest change might be the hour of comedy from 8-9 on Wednesdays.
Mondays: "Big Bang Theory," "How I Met Your Mother," "Two and a Half Men," the new comedy "Worst Week" (right) and "CSI Miami."

There are several reports that CBS has passed along an official bro handshake to the producers, even though the announcement won’t be made till later this week. You have to wonder what the hell took the network so long; supposedly one bigwig just doesn’t think the show us funny, unlike every critic in America and a growing cadre of viewers. Because, you know, it’s what executives think is funny that makes a show a success or not. Sigh.
I really hope we’ve seen the last of "Abby," the nutso receptionist played by nutso pop tart Spears. Despite the ratings bump she brought in her cameo a few weeks ago, last night she simply dragged down the show. Compared to the  travails of Allyson Hanigan’s artiste Lily […]
