CBS announced their midseason schedule today, and there are only changes to Wednesdays and Fridays. On those nights, they are adding the reality shows The Amazing Race, Undercover Boss, and Celebrity Big Brother to fill the time slots. Who asked for the latter to return?
In fact, things are so much the same that the only show missing from the lineup is CSI: Vegas. CBS said in the press release that they only planned for the first season to be ten episodes. However, I don’t believe that. I could be wrong.
So what is replacing the reboot? Sophia Bush returns to CBS in Good Sam. The show is about Dr. Sam Griffith (Bush), a gifted heart surgeon who excels in her new leadership role as chief of surgery after her renowned boss, Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Isaacs), falls into a coma. When Dr. Griffith wakes up months later, demanding to resume his duties, Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert with a scalpel who never acknowledged her stellar talent. Complicating matters, this caustic and arrogant boss also happens to be her father. As Griff defies Sam’s authority and challenges her medical expertise, the big question becomes whether this father and daughter will ever be able to mend their own relationship as expertly as they heal the hearts of their patients.
