Outside of a rather small number of new series, the biggest news regarding the CBS fall schedule is an actual origina, scripted series running new episodes on a SATURDAY night. With the constantly shifting Rules of Engagement rarely landing in the same spot twice, this time around it makes its way to a 7 PM C/T spot on Saturday. While I don't see it being permanent -- likely a placeholder in case one of its two new sitcoms (2 Broke Chicks and How to be a Gentleman) horribly tanks but it does seem that CBS is extremely confident about the strength of its fall line-up and with a mere 90 minutes of primetime slotted for repeats, CBS may be making a push to again program the remainder of Saturday night with original, scripted programs.
Here's the schedule:
MONDAY
8:00-8:30 PM HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
8:30-9:00 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS (New)
9:00-9:30 PM TWO AND A HALF MEN
9:30-10:00 PM MIKE & MOLLY
10:00-11:00 PM HAWAII FIVE-0
TUESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM NCIS
9:00-10:00 PM NCIS: LOS ANGELES
10:00-11:00 PM UNFORGETTABLE (New)
WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM SURVIVOR: SOUTH PACIFIC
9:00-10:00 PM CRIMINAL MINDS
10:00-11:00 PM CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION (New Time)
THURSDAY
8:00-8:30 PM THE BIG BANG THEORY
8:30-9:00 PM HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN (New)
9:00-10:00 PM PERSON OF INTEREST (New)
10:00-11:00 PM THE MENTALIST
FRIDAY
8:00-9:00 PM A GIFTED MAN (New)
9:00-10:00 PM CSI: NY
10:00-11:00 PM BLUE BLOODS
SATURDAY
8:00-8:30 PM RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (New Time)
8:30-9:00 PM COMEDYTIME SATURDAY
9:00-10:00 PM CRIMETIME SATURDAY
10:00-11:00 PM 48 HOURS MYSTERY
SUNDAY
7:00-8:00 PM 60 MINUTES
8:00-9:00 PM THE AMAZING RACE
9:00-10:00 PM THE GOOD WIFE (New Time)
10:00-11:00 PM CSI: MIAMI
The Good Wife seems very much out of place in its new 9 PM E/T Sunday home against what I see as a fading but still strong enough Desperate Housewives on ABC but it's really the only questionable move I see with the CBS fall 2011 schedule.
