CBS announced today that they are sticking with the game/talk show @fter Midnight for a second season.

“Taylor [Tomilison] is a gifted comedian who brings a unique voice, energy and plenty of rizz to late night (I learned rizz is a real word thanks to the show.) We’re excited for more of her daily smart takes about the dumbest things on the internet,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment.

Along with this announcement, CBS revealed that Nate Burleson, who co-anchors CBS Mornings and is an analyst on The NFL Today, will be hosting The Hollywood Squares.

I was looking forward to this game show’s return, but with him as the host and Drew Barrymore as the center square, I won’t be watching.

It is that time of year when we find out what we are going to be watching in the Fall. Today, CBS announced their schedule for next season.

CBS is adding several shows, and hopefully, it will work for them because they canceled shows that I watch. And it is all about me.

I think they made mistakes. They should have done an NCIS night like their FBI one. Why they won’t do it, I don’t know.

They canceled So Help Me Todd, but they have a free slot in the Fall at 10p on Sundays.

I love the idea of Hollywood Squared coming back, but Drew Barrymore should not be the center square. She is not quick-witted, and you have to be on that show. And that is not meant to be an insult. It is just true.

CBS has been picking up shows like NCIS, The Neighborhood, and Fire Country for another season. However, today, they cancelled So Help Me Todd and CSI: Vegas.

While I am not surprised by CSI: Vegas, the sequel to CSI, because no one knows it is on, I am sad that So Help Me Todd with Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin will not be back. But the writing was on the wall when CBS announced yesterday that Elsbeth was renewed.

I say that because CBS likes dark and gritty, and Elsbeth and Todd are both light and happy. Therefore, the network can only have one on the air at a time. Well, technically, there will be two shows because Matlock with Kathy Bates will join Elsbeth next season. I betcha Elsbeth will be a midseason replacement show.

Are you sad these series will not be back?

Elsbeth was the last new series to debut this season, but it is not the last one to find out its fate. CBS announced today that it picked up the legal police procedural for a second season.

“ELSBETH has charmed audiences with its singular blend of delightful humor, distinctive ‘how-done-it’ storytelling, and the inventive, brilliant quirkiness of Elsbeth Tascioni,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “Executive producers Robert and Michelle King have a stellar track record for creating critically acclaimed series full of unforgettable characters and, alongside showrunner Jonathan Tolins and his writing team, have developed an incredibly entertaining and engrossing New York City-centric world for the show to explore. We are grateful to the uniquely talented cast, led by Carrie Preston, Wendell Pierce and Carra Patterson, for bringing these wonderful characters to life in the company of a world-class roster of weekly guest stars”.

You can watch a new episode tonight at 9p.
