Seriously? OMG! WTF?

CBS changed things up this season, and they added Poppa’s House and NCIS: Origins to their Monday night schedule.

Today, the network announced that both shows were picked up for a full season.

“NCIS: ORIGINS has added a brilliant new dimension to the NCIS franchise with an origin story of Leroy Jethro Gibbs and a cinematic ’90s experience that features distinct characters, stories and crime solving. POPPA’S HOUSE excels with the dynamic father/son chemistry between Damon and Damon Jr. and their family-inspired stories that bring this comedy to life. These shows fit seamlessly into our Monday night lineup while resonating with viewers on CBS and Paramount+,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.

If you have not seen Poppa’s House, you should check it out. The Wayans bring a lot of funny to comedy which also has smart humor.

The Monday shows join CBS’s other two shows Matlock and Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage with additional episode orders. Matlock was picked up for a second season, while the Chuck Lorre comedy will be around all of this season.

CBS announced in January that it was developing a new Sherlock Holmes series, and this one is about his partner Watson. Today, they announced that it will debut a year after the series announcement.

Watson takes place six months after the death of the titular character’s friend and partner, Sherlock Holmes, at the hands of Moriarty. The show stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, who resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson’s old life isn’t done with him, though – Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century. Watson is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history’s greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.

Watson debuts on January 26th after the AFC Championship Game. It will then begin airing regular episodes starting on February 16th.

Matthew Gray Gubler might be coming back to CBS, and it would be a briliant move for all if it were to happen.

The Criminal Minds fan favorite has been tapped to play Albert Einstein’s great-grandson, Lew, in the pilot for the procedural Einstein by the people who brought us Monk.

According to Deadline, the potential series is about: In it, brilliant but directionless, the great-grandson of Albert Einstein (Gubler) spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective solve her most puzzling cases.

I hope the pilot turns out to be so good that CBS picks it up to series and pairs it with Matlock.

Tracker is all about finding people, and it looks like they are going to have to find Robin Weigert. According to Deadline, she will no longer be playing Teddi Bruin on the CBS drama.

Teddi and her wife, Velma (Abby McEnany), help Colter (Justin Hartley) with locating and assigning him missing people.

It is unsure how her character will be departing the show, which is returning on October 13th.

When CBS announced their 2024-2025 shows would have their season premieres, the Eye said that they would debut Tracker and The Equalizer on October 27th. However, today, CBS changed things up.

So go get your calendars because you are going to want to make the appropriate changes. If you don’t, you will miss new episodes of the Justin Hartney and Queen Latifah shows.

I wonder why they changed their minds because it was the smart thing to do.
