CBS is slowly filling up their schedule for next season and today they picked up two more of their shows for another year. NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans will join NCIS in the fall. The only surprising thing would have been had they not renewed any of these three shows. Since they are all coming back there is nothing surprising here.
The three NCISes join Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds, FBI, Gd Friended Me, Magnum P.I., Mom The Neighborhood and Young Sheldon on the 2019-2020 lineup.
CBS announced today that they picked up television’s #1 drama, NCIS, for a 17th season. Not only does the show do well in first run on broadcast, but it also does well online and in syndication. Thus the renewal is no surprise. They just had to wait for Mark Harmon to say yes.
Now that he did, it will join Young Sheldon, Mom, Criminal Minds, FBI, God Friended Me, The Neighborhood And Magnum P.I. on the 2019-2020 schedule. That leaves a lot of shows in limbo like Bull, NCIS: LA, NCIS: NoLA, Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-0. I think only Bull is in trouble of the ones I listed.
Long before there was NCIS, NCIS: LA and NCIS: NoLa, there was JAG, the show they spun off of. On May 12th, Los Angeles will get a little taste of JAG. That is because David James Elliott will reprise his role as Harmon Rabb for a few episodes.
According to CBS, the first episode he appears in is about, “The NCIS team uncovers ISIS sympathizers who look to be planning an attack on US aircraft carriers. The terror threat will result in Callen (Chris O’Donnell) and Sam (LL COOL J) working directly with Rabb, the XO Captain on the USS Intrepid.”
I wonder if this is CBS’s way of saying that if these episodes do well, then they will bring back JAG?
Did you know that JAG started out on NBC, got cancelled and was saved by CBS? I wonder if NBC kicks themselves whenever they hear that NCIS is the #1 show? I am sure they do.
Ever since CBS announced in August that this will be The Big Bang Theory’s final season, we have wanted to know when that last episode will air. Today, CBS told us that and when their other shows are ending their seasons.

CBS picked up six new shows in May and today they announced that three of them will be back in the fall. Those shows are The Neighborhood, FBI and Magnum P.I. The three shows that have not been renewed, just yet, are Happy Together, Gd Friended Me and this season’s worst new show Fam.
I get why they renewed FBI and The Neighborhood (because they are doing well), but Magnum is barely even making a blip in the ratings or in buzz. I guess they are trying to keep Peter M. Lenkov happy so that he can destroy, I mean remake, another one of their old shows like Mannix, Airwolf or T.J. Hooker.
When it comes to Happy Together and Gd Friended Me, I hope they renew both of them. They are their only new shows I enjoy watching, and it is all about me and what I watch.
