CBS is like a Swiss clock. The network does everything exactly the right way every time and can always be trusted to deliver. It has more crime procedurals than any other network, more laugh-track, multi-camera comedies than any other network and more hits than any other network.

And now it has a more simplified fall premiere calendar than any other network. While FOX, NBC, ABC and the CW slowly roll out their fall shows over several weeks, CBS takes a simple, shotgun approach. There are 22 shows premiering in a single week starting on Monday, September 24. The only show on CBS not debuting that week is the latest season of Survivor, which begins one week earlier.

This is how it should be done. Take everything you have, launch it in a single week and don't confuse your audience too much by changing everything around, having shows get sneak peeks on different nights and all the other maddening tricks CBS' rivals try.

Here's the full schedule.
