CBS Announces Fall Premiere Dates

June 24, 2009

Today CBS announced when its fall shows will premiere, and many of the dates are easy to remember because CBS is essentially launching all of its shows in a single week.  From Monday, September 21 to Sunday, September 27, CBS will premiere all but two of its shows.

Those exceptions include the newest season of Survivor, which premieres one week early to allow a two-hour premiere on Thursday. September 17, and the series premiere of Three Rivers starring Moonlight's Alex O'Loughlin which comes Sunday, October 4, one week late to allow The Amazing Race to have a two-hour premiere.

Medium: Preview of Episode 5.18 "The Talented Ms. Boddicker"

May 25, 2009

As Medium returns tonight on NBC, Allison (Patricia Arquette) dreams about and eventually meets a quirky bank teller named Mrs. Boddicker who predicted a recent robbery at the bank she works for.  Elsewhere, Joe's (Jake Weber) new job in San Diego is understandably putting a strain on the family and it's up to Alison to learn to cope in his absence.

On the last episode of the supernatural drama, Cynthia Keener (Anjelica Houston) returned and asked Allison for help to find a missing friend of hers.  She was also asked by a real estate mogul to help find his missing wife. In the meantime, Joe struggled with the decision when offered a position that required a move to San Diego, but eventually accepted the offer.

CBS' Fall Lineup: 'Medium' Changes Networks, 'Mentalist' Changes Nights

May 20, 2009

Continuing in this exciting week of Fall schedules, CBS revealed its lineup today, and while many shows remain fixed, there are some big moves.  The Mentalist, this past season's top new show, will get the coveted post-CSI timeslot Thursdays at 10pm.

And one day after NBC officially cancelled Medium, CBS scooped it up and Patricia Arquette will now see ghosts right after Jennifer Love Hewitt does the same thing on Ghost Whisperer.

'Medium' Cancelled by NBC; CBS Responds

May 19, 2009

Adding to the list of shows suffering from network turmoil is the Patricia Arquette supernatural drama Medium, which seems to be getting a lot of attention now that two companies are fighting for it.  The CBS TV-produced series was cancelled by NBC, and the former just can't let go of the issue.

NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman commented on the matter, which revolves around Medium and fellow canned series My Name is Earl.  He said that both were "an aging franchise, without a single fan letter, with no passion."  Hearing that, CBS Studios released a reply that was far from sympathetic.

NBC's 2009-2010 Lineup: 'Chuck' to Midseason, Jay Leno Everywhere

May 19, 2009

After its initial announcement last month about the shows it would pick up, today NBC revealed its official 2009-2010 schedule and also made several official cancellations.

My Name is Earl and Medium are both gone, though there are possibilities that both shows could be picked up by rival networks.  For My Name is Earl, it's especially difficult since the season ended with a cliffhanger.

NBC Unveils Fall Line-up, Six New Shows Ordered, No Word on 'Chuck'

May 4, 2009

NBC unveiled their slate of programs for the 2009-2010 season this morning.  Six new pilots were picked up (two comedies, four dramas).  NBC failed to concoct an actual day-by-day schedule for the Fall - they are expected to release that schedule within a couple of weeks.  Not mentioned during NBC's announcement this morning were the likes of Chuck, Medium, My Name is Earl, Law & Order and Life.  Some of those series could get picked up for mid-season.  As of right now, the fall schedule looks filled to the brim, especially when you consider that Jay Leno's new show will be taking up five hours of prime-time per week.  For Chuck fans, the wait continues, although the forecast isn't terribly bright.  Shows picked up for next season include Parks and Recreation, Southland and Heroes.  NBC has also ordered six more episodes of Saturday Night Live Weekend Update Thursday for the Fall. 

Here's a rundown of the six new shows from NBC:
