https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsULQUgaFCA CBS announced today when Fam with Nina Dobrev will debut and when Man With a Plan will be back.
Fam premieres on Thursday, January 10th at 9:30p and it replaces Murphy Brown which will not be back for a second season. Then on Jauney 31st, Life with Pieces will take over that slot. Joking on the last line, but Fam is the worst sitcom in a really really really long time. It is painfully unfunny and I love sitcoms. Even the ones that the critics all rip a new one. Therefore, when I say a comedy is awful, it is horrendous for everyone else.
When it comes to Murphy Brown, I write this while watching the original run of the show on Antenna TV. The revival started out way too political and it was a turn-off. It slowly eased off of that topic but it was too late. CBS should have limited their dated humor and the show would be back.
On that note, Man with a Plan will be back on Monday, February 11th replacing Happy Together. This decision does not make me happy. I love Happy Together and I am sad it will not be back. Personally, I thought it was much better than The Neighborhood.
Am I the only one sad about Murphy Brown and Happy Together getting cancelled?
UPDATE: Murphy Brown creator, Diane English, says the sitcom could be back. She wrote, “Murphy Brown fans. We are NOT CANCELED!!!!! Several entertainment sites read a mid season schedule put out by CBS that did not have our show on it and the assumption was made that we were not renewed. Our order, at our request was 13 eps. We look forward to a second season.”

Tonight at 9:30p on NBC’s I Feel Bad, Emet (Sarayu Blue) feels bad that she is not there enough for her children.
Her youngest son is about to take his first steps and she does not want to miss it like she missed it with her two older children. Therefore, she takes him to work because she has a big pitch to make on Friday. Will she see her baby walk this time around?
Meanwhile, her daughter has a big recital with a solo on Friday and she wants her mom there. Like I said, she has a big pitch on that same day. Will she be able to be in two places at once. She finds a way. But will it work?
I Feel Bad had a weak pilot but it has gotten so much better. Thus, you should check it out before it is too late or you will feel bad.

Also at 9:30p but on CBS, Brooke Shields guest stars on Murphy Brown as Corky’s (Faith Ford) friend who has been in a coma for 10 years. Her husband was on trial for pushing her down the stairs, but there was no proof he did it. Their trial was a televised event. Everyone had their opinion, Murphy (Candice Bergen) believes he did and Corky did not. There are only two people who know what happened and Murphy in the Morning is going to interview one of the two. Will they get a confession or a proof of innocence?
The Wolf Network comes up with an advertising campaign to promote Avery (Jake McDorman) and they make him sexy. How will he handle being a sex symbol?
Now that show is not as political as the first few episodes, it is like the show we knew and loved the first time around.

Tonight at 8p (after NFL) on CBS on Gd Friended Me, Miles (Brandon Micheal Hall) gets a request that is close to heart. Gd asks him to help his uncle and not a stranger.
His Uncle T is a man he loves almost as much, if not more so than his father. Thus, he wants to know what is going on with the man he idolizes. What does he learn about him? How will this request hurt his dad (Joe Morton)?
Sometimes knowing everything about the people you love is a bad thing. But this show is anything but bad.
Tonight at 8:30p on NBC’s The Good Place, Michael (Ted Danson) reveals to Elanor (Kristen Bell) that she and Chidi (William Jackson Harper) were in love. She wants to know more, but he tells her it will be too much to share that information with her.
Since you know her, she does not care and insists that he show her what happened. It will have her pulling her hair out. Actually, it just falls out, so you will see her bald. After she gets used to it, she learns more about what happened to everyone in the afterlife. How will she handle it?
It is nice that we can still see more of our guys’ reboots that we did not see. Remember they were rebooted hundreds of times, so we could not see them all. Or can we?

Then at 9:30p on CBS, love is in the air on Murphy Brown. Jim Dial (Charles Kimbrough) is honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award and he asks Phyllis (Tyne Daly) to go with him. She assumes it is a date, but that was not his intention. Will it be?
Avery (Charles Kimbrough) brings a date with him and his Manhattan Love Story co-star (Analeigh Tipton). Will Murphy (Candace Bergen) welcome her with open arms? Will she open her legs for a judge (John Larroquette) who hits on her at the gala?
Better yet how will she react wher her favorite secretary (Better Middler) comes back for a visit. And how will Corky (Faith Ford) handle seeing Katie Couric again? Finally, what will Miles (Grant Shaud) do when he finds out something new about Pat (Nik Dodani)?
It is a lot but there are also a lot of laughs. Like Miles in a bright red tux. It is a sight you have to see.
Fam is still a few months away from its debut on CBS, but the show’s executive producer, Bob Kushnell was fired for “inappropriate language in the workplace.” According to Deadline, it was not in a sexual harassment sort of way, but it was deemed inappropriate. No other details were released about the comments itself.
Kushnell credits include Me, Myself and I, The Muppets, Suburgatory, Samantha Who, Malcolm in the Middle and Grounded for Life.
When it comes to Fam, out of all of the new shows this season, this one is absolute worst of them all. I love comedies but I cannot say anything positive about this unfunny sitcom that stars Nina Dobrev and Tone Bell. I cannot believe that CBS picked up it straight to series, it is that awful.
