The new shows Unforgettable, Person of Interest and A Gifted Man sound quite interesting and worth a look.
I’m glad to see the renewal of The Good Wife, which is one of the best series to hit our screens for years.
The various CSIs, The Mentalist and NCIS are good for those times when one simply wants to zone-out in front of the TV without expending too much mental effort. And we all have times like that!
So, overall, a pretty good schedule from CBS.
I love Rules of Engagement and I hope TEN is bringing it back soon. It is a great show.
Why is CBS putting it on Saturdays?
Boring. there is nothing on CBS this fall season absolutely borring. NBC, ABC & FOX have much better content. The big bang theory is the only show to me that sounds good at least from the commedy genre.
i wish CBS would make the american version of Big Brother watchable instead of the boring unwatchable version that it is
@Steve: yes you are correct it’s a wife v.s the wives, probably not good for either show.
So does that mean The Good Wife is going up against Desperate Housewives now?
I was worried the good wife was going to be shunted to Friday (aka Death night)…but Sunday is much better….love that show so much, I really hope Alicia hooks up with Will in the season finale…
Hope “person of interest” is a hit for Michael Emerson. I think Ben Linus turned out to be one of the best developed characters of Lost and Emerson was terrific in that role.
I notice a complete absense of TBBT and TAAHM repeats during prime-time – perhaps Nine could look at this??
I like that TGW was moved, could help Parenthood on NBC get some more ratings since they were going after the same demographic.
The Good Wife is back! Hooray! I heard they were thinking about a multi-season pickup, would be great if this happened!
Lol @ Rules of Engagement on Saturdays
