CBS Fall Annotated

[Mark Jeffries]

The man who's been holding up Paramount+ is being called upon to bring his magic to the Eye, among other things--as listed by The Wrap, all times ET, new shows in caps:

Sundays (fall):
7 p.m. – “6o Minutes" (Trump willing)
8 p.m. – “Tracker”
9 p.m. – THE ROAD--Taylor Sheridan (the "Yellowstone" franchise) enters the unscripted realm with this reality comp where a series of country singers go on the road to open for Keith Urban and Gretchen Wilson (this last cycle's "Masked Singer" winner, BTW), if they keep the crowd from screaming 'YOU SUCK!', they stay on, if not... Blake Shelton is a producer (along with Urban) and hosts, meaning that he will now be a non-person on "The Voice." From MTV Entertainment and 101, co-producers of the other Sheridan series.
10 p.m. – Reruns (!) (I bet if there's a long NFL overrun that forces the schedule back an hour, this will be taken off to get the local news on)

Sundays (spring):
7 p.m. – “60 Minutes” (unless Trump gets it taken off)
8 p.m.  -- “Tracker”
9 p.m. – Y MARSHALS (working title)--Sheridan's other new CBS series, it's a continuation of the "Yellowstone" franchise with Luke Grimes' Kaycee Dutton character becoming a U.S. Marshal fighting crime in Montana (but not cursing, because it's CBS).  We can only pray that Dutton will not be rounding up undocumented aliens. Same as "The Road."
10 p.m. – “Watson”

Mondays:

8 p.m. – “The Neighborhood” (last season?)
8:30 p.m. – DMV--CBS must think they're NBC, because here's a mockumentary one-camera sitcom about a motor vehicle office, starring Tim Meadows. In-house.

9 p.m. – “FBI” (Dick Wolf loses one night of prime time)
10 p.m. – CIA--It's Dick Wolf, and he considers this part of the "FBI" franchise. It's doing the old template of the by-the-book and loose cannon team and dear God, keep Trump's people away from this. Wolf's Universal and in-house.

NCIS Tuesdays:

8 p.m. – “NCIS”
9 p.m. – “NCIS: Origins”

10 p.m. – “NCIS: Sydney”

Reality Wednesdays (fall):

8 p.m. – “Survivor”
9:30 p.m. – “The Amazing Race” (looks like only one cycle again this year)

Wednesdays (January):
8 p.m. – “Hollywood Squares”
9 p.m. – “The Price Is Right at Night”

10 p.m. – HARLAN COBEN'S FINAL TWIST--The novelist enters the true crime dodge with a  docuseries produced and hosted by him. 

Wednesdays (spring):
8 p.m. – “Survivor 50” (Yeah, it's been 25 years since Richard Hatch and Sue)
9:30 p.m. - AMERICA'S CULINARY CUP--Padma Lakshmi is back to host and produce a competition some of the nation's most acclaimed chefs who would agree to make fools of themselves on a reality show.
10 p.m. – “Hollywood Squares”

Thursdays:
8 p.m. – “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage”
8:30 p.m. – “Ghosts”
9 p.m. – “Matlock”
10 p.m. – “Elsbeth”

Fridays:
8 p.m. – SHERIFF COUNTRY--"Fire Country" is now a franchise, with this series starring Morena Baccarin as the female sheriff of the northern California area where the parent show is set. In-house with Jerry Bruckheimer.
9 p.m. – “Fire Country”
10 p.m. – BOSTON BLUE--This "Blue Bloods" spinoff, in the same slot as the long-running parent show, follows Donnie Wahlberg's character as he switches to the Bahstan Police. 

In-house with Bruckheimer (who was not involved in the original series).

Saturdays:
8 p.m. – Reruns
9 p.m. – More Reruns
10 p.m. – “48 Hours”

Wilson told Faux News Digital COVID and a busted leg complicated her return, but she coped, with medication help during tapings... staying the fk off social sites also helped... https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/country-icon-gretchen-wilson-wins-masked-singer-after-major-step-back-from-spotlight (link)

Schedule aside - is it just me, or is "Sheriff Country" one of the dumber spin-off names we've seen in a while?

[Bob Jersey]

As dumb as "Carter Country," for sure.      B
