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.
CBS announced today who is moving into the Celebrity Big Brother House tomorrow night at 8p. This season’s houseguests are Jonathan Bennett, Tamar Braxton, Kandi Burruss, Tom Green, Lolo Jones, Kato Kaelin, Joey Lawrence, Ryan Lochte, Dina Lohan, Natalie Eva Marie, Anthony Scaramucci and Ricky Williams.
There are definitely some interesting names moving into that house, but are they interesting enough to make you watch? Who do you think will be the first one to piss everyone off? Who will make everyone uncomfortable? Who will cry first? Who will get drunk first and then the most? What secrets will The Mooch share about his former boss? What has happened to Joey Lawrence since he shaved his locks?
