With one of the strongest schedules in broadcast television, CBS made relatively few moves for the upcoming fall season, shifting four returning shows to different nights and picking up three dramas and a sitcom.
The new shows, which CBS executives outlined to reporters at a breakfast in New York on Wednesday morning, are: ‘Vegas,’ a drama about the clashes between a sheriff and the mob during the 1960s; ‘Elementary,’ a dramatic update on the Sherlock Holmes story; ‘Made in New Jersey,’ a drama about a new lawyer caught between classes; and, ‘Partners,’ a comedy about work and lifelong friends.
The network also moved ‘Two and a Half Men’ to Thursday, and ‘The Mentalist’ to Sunday.
CBS will formally unveil its lineup to advertisers in Carnegie Hall on Wednesday afternoon.
