CBS announced today that it was picking up 14 additional shows to the 4 that they already announced for next season. Rejoining The Big Bang Theory, CSI, NCIS and How I Met Your Mother on the Eye is 2 Broke Girls, Mike and Molly, Hawaii Five-0, NCIS LA, Survivor, Person of Interest, Elementary, Undercover Boss, Blue Bloods, 48 Hours, 60 Minutes, The Amazing Race, The Good Wife and The Mentalist. So what shows weren’t renewed? Rules of Engagement was not picked up last year until days after the upfronts, so never count this sitcom out. Golden Boy is still a relativity new show, but I am sure it is airing in the slot that will most likely go to the NCIS: LA spinoff. Vegas which has not tested out its new timeslot of Fridays at 9p, and I bet if it does well there it will be back next season. CSI: NY which I am assume CBS is waiting to see how the last two shows do before they make a decision. The show that shocked a lot of people because it was not on that list is Criminal Minds. It still does OK, but I guess CBS is waiting to see what pilots they have before they make a decision. And there’s one show that is missing from the list and that show is Two and Half Men which CBS hopes to bring back for another season.
So while CBS picked up almost all of it’s shows for next season, the other networks will be cancelling most of theirs.
