While the other networks were touting the new shows or explaining why other shows were canceled, CBS threw everyone for a loop in a different direction.
The mantra of CBS this year must be "Change is good," because almost every night of the week was shook up.
The biggest shock was "Survivor" being moved from Thursdays at 8 p.m. to Wednesdays at 8 p.m. "Survivor" is the king of Thursdays at 8 p.m. so moving it to another night basically guarantees a win.
That is bad news for the other networks with shows like "Undercovers," "Lie to Me" and "The Middle."
In its place comedies "The Big Bang Theory" and new show "Sh*t my Dad Says" will now go head to head with NBC comedies "Community" and "30 Rock." This is going to end up being horrible for one of those networks. Stephanie just said that she likes both, but "Community" is "her show" and hence her choice.
Another shocker was ratings winner "CSI: Miami" moving from Mondays to Sundays. Now this could end up being a really bad move by CBS. Not that "Brothers and Sisters" will be any sort of competition.
The "Hawaii 5-0" remake is taking the Monday at 10 p.m. slot. I think this is a perfect chance for "Castle" to become the No. 1 drama on Monday nights. Notice I didn't include "Chase" in that part? Yeah, no.
"CSI: New York" also got moved from Wednesdays at 10 p.m. to Fridays at 9 p.m. (which is often called the death slot).
Some of the new shows CBS are premiering in the fall include the legal drama "The Defenders" starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell, "Blu Bloods" a cop drama with a great cast of Tom Selleck, Bridget Moynahan, Donnie Wahlberg and Will Estes and the comedy "Mike and Molly" about a weight loss support group.
