MONDAY
8:00-8:30 PM HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
8:30-9:00 PM WE ARE MEN (N)
Tony Shalhoub and Jerry O'Connell in a male bonding one-camera sitcom (yes, I said one-camera--on CBS). If it bombs, Les will probably order it to go multi-cam or put a laugh track on it.
9:00-9:30 PM 2 BROKE GIRLS
9:30-10:00 PM MOM (N)
CBS' real golden boy Chuck Lorre is back with his newest multi-cam starring Anna Faris in the title role, which leads us to wonder if it should be called "MILF" instead.
10:00-11:00 PM HOSTAGES (N)
Jerry Bruckheimer's latest show is a serial (!) drama about the lives of a politically-connected family, based on an Israeli series and starring James Naughton and Toni Collette. Only 15 episodes have been ordered and so...
INTELLIGENCE (Mid-Season) (N)
Coming mid-season is a show more in line with Bruckheimer and CBS--a spy procedural with an SF gimmick involving implanted chips in the brains of agents, with Josh Holloway, Marg Helgenberger back on CBS and Meghan Ory, Little Red Riding Hood on "Once Upon a Time" (which must on that show that her character will be eaten by the Big Bad Wolf next season).
TUESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM NCIS
9:00-10:00 PM NCIS: LOS ANGELES
10:00-11:00 PM PERSON OF INTEREST (NT)
The "NCIS" spinoff didn't sell.
WEDNESDAY
8:00-9:00 PM SURVIVOR
9:00-10:00 PM CRIMINAL MINDS
10:00-11:00 PM CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION
THURSDAY
8:00-8:30 PM THE BIG BANG THEORY
8:30-9:00 PM THE MILLERS (N)
Greg Garcia, who before "My Name is Earl" and "Raising Hope" could be blamed for "Yes, Dear," returns to multi-cams and CBS with a family show with a good cast: Will Arnett, Margo Martindale, J.B. Smoove and Beau Bridges.
9:00-9:30 PM THE CRAZY ONES (N)
David Kelley tries sitcoms again in a one-camera starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. I don't know about this one.
9:30-10:00 PM TWO AND A HALF MEN (NT)
10:00-11:00 PM ELEMENTARY
Looks like CBS is ready to grind NBC's comedy block (without "The Office") into the ground on Thursday nights (if they haven't already). At least NBC has its multi-cam (the Sean Hayes show) on at the same time as CBS' one-camera show, if that really makes a difference with the 25-54 demo or upper end thereof.
FRIDAY
8:00-9:00 PM UNDERCOVER BOSS
9:00-10:00 PM HAWAII FIVE-0 (NT)
10:00-11:00 PM BLUE BLOODS
SATURDAY
8:00-8:30 PM COMEDYTIME SATURDAY (N)
Sitcom reruns.
8:30-9:00 PM COMEDYTIME SATURDAY (N)
More sitcom reruns.
9:00-10:00 PM CRIMETIME SATURDAY
10:00-11:00 PM 48 HOURS
SUNDAY
7:00-8:00 PM 60 MINUTES
8:00-9:00 PM THE AMAZING RACE
9:00-10:00 PM THE GOOD WIFE
10:00-11:00 PM THE MENTALIST
"Mike and Molly" will run 22 eps starting mid-season, as CBS wants to cut back on repeats and long mid-season breaks (even if CBS' brand of programming is the most repeat-friendly around).
And the much-hyped "Beverly Hills Cop" televersion didn't get picked up. There's still basic cable, and despite the possible CBS Studios co-production, it does sound like a possible USA show.

Looks like the kiss of death to me.

Bridges will be doing double duty - he's also playing a supporting role on Showtime's "Masters of Sex."
(I've seen the pilot of that show, or at least the, ahem, good parts. Verrrry interesting.)
