I've received some very interesting information about CBS . . . - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

JulieSomoski · 04-17-2009, 06:12 PM

So I've started my new blog (as can be found in my signature), just about TV related things and all that. But today, I received a very interesting tip regarding CBS' fall schedule. In fact, it's so interesting, and so believable, I put it on my blog.

it's almost shocking in a way. I'm hoping you guys will all go to my blog and read about it. It all includes news from The Mentalist moving to Thursdays at 10pm, to comedies on Saturdays, to all on the bubble shows being renewed. All very interesting.

So, go check it out, and post comments on my blog! You can check it out here:

Wednesdays:
8:00 Criminal Minds
9:00 Gary Unmarried
9:30 Accidentally on Purpose
10:00 Without a Trace

Wow...that's a terrible move. You don't show a drama, then comedies, then another drama. I'd bet that doesn't happen.

And I do not like seeing Criminal Minds and CSI:NY split up. I think they work very well together.

I agree with that. Airing a comedy hour inbetween 2 crime dramas is absurd. But, I think airing Criminal Minds with NCIS on Tuesdays is a good idea, especially if The Mentalist is moving to Thursdays (which also isn't a bad move)

That's a very good idea - I'm amazed at how many people have come to check it out in just 1 day. As long as I keep posting interesting information, I guess people will come-LOL.

Julie, your blog is great. I especially like how you concentrated on CBS right now since I think they are the best network.

As for the Mentalist moving to Thursday, I'm not really for it. I like the NCIS-Mentalist block the way it is. If they were to move it, I would rather it go to Tuesday at 10 and have the NCIS spin-off at 9. That way it would be a great night.

Thankyou - a blog is something I've always wanted to do, so I'm glad to finally have the time to do it. I love CBS - they're probably my favorite network as well, for many reasons, so I'm glad to be concentrating on them, while also offer news on other networks and such.

I love watching The Mentalist Tuesdays at 9pm - it's the perfect slot for me to watch it-lol, but its also a good slot for CBS to have it. But, as NCIS and The Mentalist are becoming stronger on Tuesdays, Survivor and CSI are becoming weaker on Thursdays, so I can understand why they'd want to move it to Thursdays at 10pm. It'll be interesting to see what they do for next season. Thanks for reading!

i think having a good commedy variety show on CBS Saturday nights good be good and follow it up with forty eight hours.

I woudn't mind a weekly variety show. I think the problems that NBC and Fox had was because of who they got to star in them. Who wants to watch Rosie O'Donnell and the Osbournes?lol

Sitcoms on Saturdays used to work once upon a time. Remember CBS' great Saturday lineup in the '70s and NBC's powerhouse lineup in the '80s? If the networks put something that people will want to watch, they will show up. This dead end strategy of showing reruns of crime procedurals, newsmagazines or no longer relevant to network TV theatrical repeats needs to be stopped.

I know. The last shows I watched on Saturday were Walker Texas Ranger and Early Edition and I always looked forward to them too. I'm afraid Fridays might go the way of Saturday before too long. I hope not though.

LOL - thanks a lot. I plan on posting some definitely information, on schedules and what not, soon, as long as any updates I may receive on the CBS things. Keep reading, and thanks!

It's great that we have a network like CBS that is singlehandedly keeping Fridays alive. Ghost Whisperer still pulls in 11 million on the night, and Flashpoint and Numn3rs are right under it. Let's face it - the other nets have given up the night to weak programming and burnoffs.

I have faith in CBS for reviving Saturday nights - why not try a sitcom block there? And if it fails, at least CBS will know by having tried it. Or, it could become a moderate success for them. I'm really hoping we see a Saturday comedy block in the future, whether it be next season or not.

A weekly variety show on Saturdays would also be nice to see. Like you said, NBC had Rosie and FOX had the Osbournes, and that just didn't work. If CBS gets a good variety show going, it could definitely work.
