Today is Tax Day, and that is not the only bad thing that happened today. CBS announced its schedule for next season, and they are holding two of its best shows until midseason to make room for another NCIS. Because that is what we need, a fourth NCIS. Sorry, LL Cool J, I know the fans love this news, but I want my Matlock and Ghosts!!!
Mondays – Compelling drama block FBI and CIA moves up an hour to 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, respectively, followed by HARLAN COBEN’S FINAL TWIST at 10:00 PM.
Tuesdays – The world’s #1 global franchise powers an all‑NCIS night from 8:00-11:00 PM, anchored by flagship NCIS (8:00 PM) and joined by the newest addition, NCIS: NEW YORK (9:00 PM), followed by NCIS: ORIGINS moving to 10:00 PM.
Wednesdays – Two reality television titans return with 90-minute episodes of SURVIVOR at 8:00 PM followed by THE AMAZING RACE at 9:30 PM.
Thursdays – Two new shows join the night. GEORGIE & MANDY’S FIRST MARRIAGE at 8:00 PM followed by new comedy ETERNALLY YOURS at 8:30 PM, then ELSBETH at 9:00 PM in a new time period and new series CUPERTINO at 10:00 PM.
Fridays – The winning action-packed lineup remains unchanged with three Jerry Bruckheimer Television‑produced dramas: SHERIFF COUNTRY at 8:00 PM, FIRE COUNTRY at 9:00 PM and BOSTON BLUE at 10:00 PM.
Sundays – CBS continues its winning Sunday lineup with 60 MINUTES at 7:00 PM, MARSHALS at 8:00 PM, TRACKER at 9:00 PM and drama encores at 10:00 PM during the fall.
In other news, even though Ghosts is being held until 2027, it will still get one-hour Halloween and Ghostmas special episodes to air this fall.
And there is one more announcement: Daytime Drama Beyond the Gates was picked up for two more seasons. Long live Soap Operas!!!
In 2021, CBS added Ghosts to their lineup, and next season, Vampires will be joining them. Eternally Yours comes from Joe Port and Joe Wiseman, who brought Ghosts to the States.
The sitcom is “centered around Charles (Ed Weeks) and Liz (Allegra Edwards) – a vampire couple whose once-passionate romance has devolved into a pulseless marriage after 500 years together. Living in present-day Seattle with their oddball coven, they’ve settled into an eternal rut—until their daughter’s (Helen J. Shen) earnest human boyfriend (Jaren Lewison) unexpectedly enters their lives and forces them to confront whether their love can survive forever… or if forever is a life sentence.”
Next season, CBS will only have three half-hour series, Ghosts, Eternally Yours, and Georgie and Mandie’s First Marriage, on their schedule, since they cancelled The Neighborhood and DMV. So it will be interesting to see how they handle the vacant 30 minutes.
Will it be news? A game show? A magazine show? A talk show? We will find out on April 15th when they announce their 2026-2027 schedule.
It is St. Patrick’s Day on Ghosts tonight at 8:30p on CBS, and that means that Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky) is visible by the living for the day.
What will the Victorian maiden do with her 24-hour ability? She is going to use it to go on a date with a man. However, she is very limited in who she can go out with.
Luckily, she gets a man to say yes, and she convinces him to meet her at Jay’s (Utkarsh Ambudkar) restaurant. But he doesn’t show up, and she takes it out on the waiter. He gets so upset about what she said that he quits.
Now Jay is down a server, and he has a very important guest coming to the restaurant. Thus, he needs another server, and Hetty steps up to do the job. What could go wrong? It can’t be any worse than a skydiving male stripper falling through the roof, or could it be?
That is not all. Sam (Rose McIver) has to go out of town for a baby shower, and that means that Kyle (Ben Feldman) is back to help Jay out with the Ghosts. The Ghosts are loving that so much so that they are going to try to fix him up with Jay’s sister, Bela (Punam Patel).
Will they get lucky?
Whether they do or not, we are the lucky ones because Ghosts is always enjoyable to watch.
Tonight at 9p, Ghosts airs a one-hour special episode that asks: what if Sam (Rose McIver) saw Ghosts?
In the real world, we never would have gotten the series. But what about the one we watch on CBS?
Sam is asked to appear on television to promote her and Isaac’s (Brandon Scott Jones) book. What could go wrong?
Thor (Devan Chandler Long) decides to give Flower (Sheila Carrasco) the present of being able to possess Sam so that she could get rid of the cravings for munchies, which she has had since she died 50 years ago.
How sweet? That is, until he does it right before the interview, and Flower won’t leave Sam’s body. Thus, causing the interview to go to crap.
Sam gets so mad that she wishes she had never been able to see Ghosts, and Carol (Caroline Aaron) comes back after being sucked up to grant Sam’s wish.
How does her wish change things for her? And how does it change things for Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar), Thor, Sass (Román Zaragoza), Isaac, Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky), Alberta (Danielle Pinnock), Flower, Pete (Richie Moriarty), and Trevor (Asher Grodman)?
You will have to tune in for my favorite version of It’s a Wonderful Life I have seen since the original movie.
Oh, and did I mention be prepared for some of the most interesting couples we have seen on the series in five seasons? Even I gasped more than once. However, not as loud as the cliffhanger! I can’t wait to see what happens in the next episode.
Iain Armitage is returning to CBS for the first time in almost two years, or since Young Sheldon ended, but it is not going to be on Georgie and Maddie’s First Marriage.
Instead, the actor will be playing a heightened version of himself on Ghosts, according to Variety. The trade added that he will be part of a high-stakes poker game at Woodstone Manor.
The episode is expected to air on April 16th.
UPDATE: Ghosts confirmed his guest appearance, and wrote, “He’s living every ghostie’s dream— one of our biggest fans, @iain, is coming to Woodstone! We couldn’t be happier to have him ”
