         "Brilliant Minds" was renewed" and will fill out the Monday line up.  Tuesdays, before Basketball starts in October,  will be 2 hours of the Voice  and a new show hosted by Jimmy Fallon "On Brand with Jimmy Fallon"  

  The "Chicago" shows hold their Wednesday night in place.  Law and Order and SVU will still have Thursday, with "The Hunting Party" taking the final slot. 

         Fridays. will start with "On Brand with Jimmy Fallon" which will be on two nights until October, then one night.   "Dateline NBC" will be 2 hours after.

Comedy is back on the table at the start of the season.  The hit revival of  Night Court will be back on Tuesdays along with a new series the return of Jon Cryer to network TV with Extended Family.  Tuesday also gets Quantum Leap .  Another interesting change is that the second night of Dick Wolf programming  where the Law & Order series were running has been cut to 2 hours with new drama Found taking the slot that was held by Law & Order: Organized Crime  on Thursday nights.  That program will be back in mid season.  Lopez vs. Lopez  has been renewed but status (as of this writing) for Young Rock hasn't been given yet. 

            The Voice keeps its normal Monday slot, with a new drama getting its AGT boost that being The Irrational .  The Chicago night continues on Wednesdays. Fridays is light fare with The Wall and Dateline NBC taking up the night.

FALL TV 2023: CBS

CBS  Fall TV Look 2023 Upfronts 


            

       Earlier than normal, CBS has released their fall line up for the 2023-24 TV Season. Now, due to the writers' strike this is the CBS best hope that things get resolved very soon  schedule for the fall so this could not even happen if things are delayed.  

        Anyway, CBS' fall line up looks much like it did before, as CBS usually does keep their line ups stable.  Wednesday has been made all reality again, but with long running shows "Survivor" and "The Amazing Race" taking up 90 minute slots to fill a 3 hour night.  

        CBS has two new dramas for the fall, first "Elsbeth" which is also CBS continuing the world of "The Good Wife" and "The Good Fight" this series will air on Thursday Nights. "CSI Vegas" is being moved to Sundays, but because of Football overruns they've decided to hold the show until after football being mostly over. 

       No you aren't confused by the next show's name, yes they have decided to remake "Matlock"  with Kathy Bates in the lead role.  They will be pairing this with "The Equalizer" which moves up to 9PM /8c. 

       "S.W.A.T" was a show that CBS was going to end, but some last-minute deal making has kept it alive for a final season and they've ended "East New York" instead, so Friday Night stays the same from last season.   

        Mondays stay the same with "The Neighborhood" , "Bob Hearts Abishola" , "NCIS", and "NCIS Hawai'i".  Tuesdays are still the Dick Wolf shows with "FBI" , "FBI: International" , and "FBI: Most Wanted" and Fridays, as mentioned above will also still have "Fire Country" and "Blue Bloods" 

        Much like last year, you'll notice CBS isn't introducing a new comedy to their wings and still keeping Thursday with "Young Sheldon" and "Ghosts".  They do have new comedy series picked up, "Poppa's House" starting Damon Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr.  which is waiting for a mid season slot to open up.  CBS has the Superbowl and new drama "Tracker" gets the post SB slot on Sunday, February 11, 2024.  

            Again, this line up is if the writers' strike comes to a deal on a good time to start working on series.  CBS could end up filling their line up with reality shows, reruns (some shows from Paramount Plus), Primetime game shows.  

    Here's the schedule all times ET/PT, unless otherwise specified. New series highlighted in blue

FALL TV 2022: CBS

CBS TVLookFall2022  Upfronts 


     CBS' fall line ups are not normally radically changed, and the structures have been mostly the same. This up coming season, there as has been a slight change to Thursday. For many years CBS had devoted 2 hours of comedy on Thursday ,especially after cutting the amount of comedy on Monday nights, but this season CBS has given the 9pm ET hour to a drama that being a new drama called So Help Me Todd . As two Chuck Lorre comedies have been canned, which is also interesting for CBS.  The cutting of comedies also seems to be a theme at networks as well.  Fire Country, a new drama, takes the Magnum P.I slot on Friday. 

    Wednesday is full reality show now, with CSI: Vegas moving to Thursday nights. The Real Love Boat  joins  Survivor and The Amazing Race. Sunday Nights have a new drama as well, with East New York taking up the post Equalizer slot.  NCIS: Los Angles moves down. 

      They have set up True Lies, a drama based off the film, for midseason.  Along with a few alternative series making their way to midseason as well. So far, it seems, CBS hasn't picked up a new comedy series. 
        
        There's not much other changes, otherwise CBS has a stable programming slate. Ghosts moves up to 8:30pm after Young Sheldon on Thursday Nights; the FBI shows still have Tuesdays and there's still 2 NCIS series on the line up.

The CW TvLookFall2021  Upfronts 


     The CW has released their fall schedule. A big thing to note is that this year they are expanding  into Saturday Night, in exchange the are giving that hour of daytime (a relic from the old KIDS WB days) to their affiliates.  It's predecessor networks the WB (whom the original schedule of the network was based from)  and UPN left Saturday nights to it's affiliates. This is curious since Saturday is usually a "dead" night on network TV.  

       The network is making moves for it's shows as well.  "Riverdale" is moving from it's long time Wednesday night slot.  Sunday will not have scripted shows instead they 'll have"Legends of hte Hidden Temple" (yes you read that right)  and "Killer Camp".    The fall line is filled mostly with familiarity.  There will only be one new scripted series that's a remake of "4400".  

      In midseason,  "All American: Homecoming"  and "Naomi" are the new series making their premieres.   Midseason will also have the returns of "Charmed" , "DC's Stargirl" , "Dynasty" , "In the Dark" , "Kung Fu" , "Roswell, New Mexico" , "Superman and Lois".  

Here's the schedule; all times ET/PT, new series highlighted in blue
