    CBS is usually a network where changes to their line up are minimal,  but this year there are some notable changes.  Their long running Monday night comedies , the night that was once home to shows like Everybody Loves Raymond and ,recently, The Neighborhood is going away.  With The Neighborhood and DMV being canceled, they will not be replaced with new series.  Instead, the network is moving up FBI  and CIA.  True crime series Harlen Coben's Final Twist will finish out the night.

Matlock has also been pushed to mid-season.  Following the new season of Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage is a new comedy, Eternally Yours, from the show runners of  "Ghosts".  Meanwhile, following Elsbeth is a new drama from the creators of that series, Cupertino. 

            Tuesday nights continue to be "NCIS" nights with a new installment joining  the line up. NCIS: New York will air between NCIS and NCIS: Origins.  NCIS: Sydney returns in the mid-season.

  The decisions are being made about the fates of many different TV series. This is our annual list that will be updated frequently as news about different broadcast networks shows comes in and what their status is for the next season. This list primarily focuses on scripted series as those tend to get their announcements done in due time before the May upfronts. Though other non-scripted series due end up in the list eg: 60 Minutes, since they are centerpieces of a network's line up. I will include a list of unscripted series too, but in some cases they are either renewed at various times. summer series also aren't part of the main lists as that is out of the main seasonal part of the year.
