The #1 new show of the season (without DVR help) Blue Bloods will be testing out a new time slot in the new year. CBS announced today that it was giving the hit Friday night show a 4-week run on Wednesdays starting on January 19th. In turn they are moving The Defenders to Fridays at 8p to finish out its run for the season and then the new show Chaos will replace it on April 1st. Also ending its season early is Sh!t My Dad Says and it being replaced by the new Yes, Dear, Rules of Engagement on February 24th which is being replaced by the new sitcom Mad Love that Monday. Also joining the CBS lineup on February 16th is the Criminal Minds spinoff CM: Suspect Behavior which is joining the 2 NCISes, 3 CSIs and 3 Chuck Lorre sitcoms. BTW on that note congrats to NCIS for being the #! rated show of the season so far and knocking a reality show out of that honor. I also want to say hats off to Chuck Lorre for having the 3 top rated sitcoms on TV this season thus far.
When it comes to their choices, I am happy Blue Bloods is getting a test out on Wednesdays, but I really like The Defenders too and hope it gets a much needed ratings boost so it will be back next season, Because ending the season early like that is not boding well for the Jim Belushi and Jerry O’Connell legal drama nor William Shatner’s first attempt at a sitcom, on coming back in the fall. When it comes to Sh!t, the show has finally found its funny and I hope it is given a second chance.
