https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzqMZ7cpcVQ CBS announced today that they are bringing back its Monday night comedies, The Neighborhood for a fourth season and Bob ♥ Abishola for a third one.
“We’re extremely proud of these two comedies, and delighted to bring them back next season,” said Thom Sherman, Senior Executive Vice President, Programming, CBS Entertainment. “THE NEIGHBORHOOD and BOB ♥ ABISHOLA masterfully blend humor with relatable and culturally relevant storylines, and are tremendous, successful Monday night anchors.”
Now that CBS is bringing back Bob, I hope that they also bring back the song and dance numbers. That episode was so special because of the two group dances. We need more of that on television. And don’t tell me that is what Dancing with the Stars is all about. I ain’t doing Tyra.
Mark Harmon is going to celebrate the big 7-0 in September, and there is a report that he is ready to leave NCIS. The actor has been playing Agent Gibbs since 2003, so you can understand the rumor.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, if he decides not to renew his contract, then he will stay on to do a few episodes for the show’s 19th season. If he leaves, then the trade says that the show will end with him.
CBS is preparing for the worst, and they are working on NCIS: Hawaii to join NCIS: LA and NCIS: NoLA. Neither of the latter shows have been picked up for another season. However, CBS has not renewed any of their series yet.
Not only is CBS working on the third spinoff from NCIS, but they are also working on bringing back CSI with William Petersen and Jorga Fox.
I am rooting for the latter to come back. It would be nice to have CSI back on the airwaves.
A few of CBS’s scripted shows were back on the air last week, but we still don’t know when we will get new episodes of their dramas on Friday nights. Well, that was then. Today, they announced that MacGyver, Magnum P.I., and Blue Bloods are returning to airwaves on December 4th.
About time they made this announcement because I have been missing my Reagan family dinners.
Blue Bloods also revealed that Whoopi Goldberg is recurring on the show as City Council Speaker Regina Thomas. Now you can view her on Friday mornings and nights.
Due to COVID-19, the fall TV lineup will star over a month later than it normally does. That means we are most likely going to have a shorter season than usual. CBS is already planning for that, so they cut the order amount on several of their shows.
According to TV Line, we will get 18 episodes of NCIS: LA and The Neighborhood, while Blue Bloods, Bull, Magnum P.I., NCIS, NCIS: NOLA, and SEAL Team will do the Sweet 16. The other shows, that are not produced by CBS, will also have their seasons cut short, but it will take a little longer to finalize their deals with Warner Bros and Universal.
Little by little, CBS is almost back to a normal schedule. Today, we learned when Bull, FBI, FBI: Most Wanted, SEAL Team, and Unicorn will return with new episodes.
