CBS has finally scheduled all of their new shows, but they sacrificed some of their other new shows to do.
On February 19th, Two and a Half Men ends it successful run with a one hour series finale at 9p and The Odd Couple makes it debut at 8:30p. Then the following week CBS’s new Thursday lineup starts with The Big Bang Theory followed by Matthew Perry playing Oscar Madison followed by a TBBT repeat and finally conclude the comedy part of the evening with the unfunny Mom. So in other words, they cancelled The Millers and The McCarthys (not officially cancelled) for a repeat of TBBT. I don’t get that but then again, I liked the comedies with the families that last names start with a M.
Those are the comedy changes, there are also some drama changes coming too. On March 1st, Battle Creek takes over for CSI who had their episode order cut. Then on Match 4th, Stalker will be replaced by CSI: Cyber. I was honestly surprised that CBS ordered more episodes from Stalker and sounds like they realized their mistake.
It will be interesting to see how these three new shows do. I am looking forward to The Odd Couple because I really like Matthew Perry and I’m a little weirded out how much Thomas Lennon reminds me of Tony Randall. I think the casting is great and hopefully the episodes will be too. Hopefully, it will do well because it will be nice for one of their new sitcoms make it to a second season.
