Robert and Michelle King, creators of The Good Wife and Elsbeth, have a new legal drama coming to CBS, and today, we are getting the first look at Cupertino.
Cupertino, a David vs. Goliath legal drama set in the heart of Silicon Valley. A lawyer (Mike Colter) is cheated out of his stock options by his former employer, a tech start-up. Refusing to back down, he joins forces with another recently fired attorney (Rachel Keller) to represent those taken advantage of by the tech elite and help them fight back in a high-stakes battle against the Goliaths controlling Silicon Valley.
Are you going to watch the series when it debuts Thursday, October 8th at 10p.
I am curious about it, but I also fear that if it does well, it will be the death knell for Matlock

Today is Tax Day, and that is not the only bad thing that happened today. CBS announced its schedule for next season, and they are holding two of its best shows until midseason to make room for another NCIS. Because that is what we need, a fourth NCIS. Sorry, LL Cool J, I know the fans love this news, but I want my Matlock and Ghosts!!!
Mondays – Compelling drama block FBI and CIA moves up an hour to 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, respectively, followed by HARLAN COBEN’S FINAL TWIST at 10:00 PM.
Tuesdays – The world’s #1 global franchise powers an all‑NCIS night from 8:00-11:00 PM, anchored by flagship NCIS (8:00 PM) and joined by the newest addition, NCIS: NEW YORK (9:00 PM), followed by NCIS: ORIGINS moving to 10:00 PM.
Wednesdays – Two reality television titans return with 90-minute episodes of SURVIVOR at 8:00 PM followed by THE AMAZING RACE at 9:30 PM.
Thursdays – Two new shows join the night. GEORGIE & MANDY’S FIRST MARRIAGE at 8:00 PM followed by new comedy ETERNALLY YOURS at 8:30 PM, then ELSBETH at 9:00 PM in a new time period and new series CUPERTINO at 10:00 PM.
Fridays – The winning action-packed lineup remains unchanged with three Jerry Bruckheimer Television‑produced dramas: SHERIFF COUNTRY at 8:00 PM, FIRE COUNTRY at 9:00 PM and BOSTON BLUE at 10:00 PM.
Sundays – CBS continues its winning Sunday lineup with 60 MINUTES at 7:00 PM, MARSHALS at 8:00 PM, TRACKER at 9:00 PM and drama encores at 10:00 PM during the fall.
In other news, even though Ghosts is being held until 2027, it will still get one-hour Halloween and Ghostmas special episodes to air this fall.
And there is one more announcement: Daytime Drama Beyond the Gates was picked up for two more seasons. Long live Soap Operas!!!
It is rumored that CBS parted ways with Stephen Colbert at the urging of donald trump. And with that, the network decided to end doing late night original programming, something they started in 1993 with David Letterman.
So what will be filling The Late Show’s timeslot? They will air a two-hour block of Byron Allen shows, Comics Unleashed and Funny You Should Ask.
Comics Unleashed has been used as filler at 12:35a between the end of The Late Late Show with James Corden and the start of After Midnight, and then it returned when that comedienne’s name I don’t remember left.
Today, CBS announced that Comics Unleashed will move to 11:35p and 12:05a, and then Funny You Should Ask will follow at 12:35a and 1:05a.
So get ready for lots of PSA and religious ads during that two-hour block, because who is going to want to advertise during those two shows? I also expect that the 11p local news will suffer because people used to tune into watch the news before Colbert.
Yes, it is cheaper to air this. But in the long run, I think it will be more expensive.
Tonight at 10p on CBS, Boston Blue celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. At least they are hoping to.
The episode starts off with Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green) showing up at a scene. When she gets there, she hears shots being fired. The person who called is dead, and now she needs to find out why.
Her, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), and Sara (Maggie Lawson) learn that the victim always wanted to be a cop, and he had something to share. What is it? He found out that there is a threat to the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. However, he didn’t say what it was before he died.
Therefore, the clock is ticking, and they need to find out what the threat is before there is another Boston Marathon situation. Can they do it?
They need to do it because Danny and his son, Sean (Mika Amonsen), want to celebrate their first St. Patty’s Day in Boston, a day the Silvers hate because of all the non-Bostonians who come to celebrate and ruin their city.
Wahlberg says that is the one thing that Boston does better than NYC. As a Bronx girl who went to NYC’s parade for the holiday, he is wrong.
Back to Boston Blue. The police procedural keeps proving that it is a worthy spinoff from Blue Bloods. It was the push the legacy needed.
