We are halfway through the 2021-22 TV season, and there have been some surprises on the broadcast networks. Looking at CBS, it has a decent roster of programming, but some of its shows are headed toward cancellation. Some shows are aging, making their renewal or cancellation decisions more complicated.

My first thought while watching the proudly weird, thoroughly charming new comedy Ghosts was: How is this on CBS? To be fair, the Eye network has moved past the days of “fat guy with a hot wife” sitcoms lately with a host of more thoughtful and bittersweet comedies like the recently departed Mom. But still,
SEAL Team is leaving CBS behind. That much we’ve known for a while now. As previously reported, SEAL Team Season 5 will begin its run on CBS Sunday, October 10 at 10/9c. The first four episodes will air on CBS before it moves full-time to Paramount+. The CBS series finale airs Sunday, October 31. According
Even given TV’s current obsession with rebooting and reviving anything and everything, The Equalizer is an curious choice. The original 1985-89 CBS series, starring Edward Woodward as a spy-turned-private eye who cleaned up a crime-ridden New York City, is only a hazy memory to most viewers and plays like a dusty relic these days. (He
What would Silence of the Lambs be without Hannibal Lecter? The coldblooded cannibal genius played by Anthony Hopkins is one of the most iconic villains in film history — but, due to nagging rights issues, his name can’t even be uttered in CBS’ new drama Clarice, which follows FBI agent Clarice Starling a year after
B Positive will be on the CBS schedule for a bit longer. The freshman comedy has nabbed a full season order at CBS, becoming one of few shows to pull off such a move in that pandemic-affected season. While the show has been expanded, no details on how many episodes have actually been ordered. ABC’s
Just weeks after getting a premiere date at CBS, SEAL Team Season 4 has already suffered a major setback. The David Boreanaz-fronted drama series has been delayed by one week, pushing its highly-anticipated return to December. But there’s some good news. SEAL Team Season 4 will now commence with a two-hour premiere, so we’re waiting
A successful sitcom boils down to two things: characters and chemistry. Even the most inspired premise doesn’t matter after the first few episodes, if the show doesn’t have characters we care about and actors who work well together. Case in point: CBS’ new fall sitcom B Positive, debuting this Thursday, Nov. 5 at 8:30/7:30c. (I’ve
We have some bad news for fans of the two soaps on CBS. Thursday, April 23 marks the final day there will be new episodes of The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. Both shows recently shut down due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, and while it seemed like there were
Brandon Michael Hall is breaking his silence on the cancellation of God Friended Me. The lead actor in the CBS drama has admitted that it is a “hard pill to swallow” in an Instagram Q&A with his fans on Thursday. Hall said that the decision to pull the plug was “completely out of our control.”

If you’re into comfort food, then this is your week. There is very little new on the way. But enjoy it because new releases proliferate the rest of March, and all of the fun discussion will be focused on shiny things for the remainder of the month. In the meantime, check out what we think
We’re running down our favorite shows of the decade! In addition to our favorite action/adventure series and favorite procedurals, and relationship-focused programming, and supernatural series! Now, let’s take a look at limited/anthology series! Here is a reminder that we have almost two dozen favorites lists, and since we couldn’t showcase every show on every list, we parsed them out a
Here is a wrap-up of all the news you need to know from Monday, November 4, 2019. Carol Burnett, who starred on the original Mad About You, will be back for Spectrum’s upcoming revival. Burnett will reprise the role of Theresa Stemple, the mother of Helen Hunt’s Jamie. It’s unclear how many episodes of the
Horror has never been network TV’s strong suit. Outside of a few notable exceptions (Hannibal, The Exorcist), the big networks have been content to let cable and streaming TV dominate the darker side of horror ever since Mulder and Scully first fired up their flashlights on The X-Files. But CBS’ new fall drama Evil —
