People usually joke that CBS is the ‘old people’ network, but it really seems to be working for them. Sure, there’s a few new shows, but for the most part their schedule has remained unchanged from before the Upfront. They’ve even moved one hit show to Saturday, establishing a whole new night of programming. That said, there are a few changes in the schedule from this past season, as The Good Wife and CSI are on the move.

I haven’t really talked about it yet, but I’m kind of looking forward to JJ Abrams’ Person of Interest. It looks like it’ll have the strength of a CBS procedural crossed with the genre feel of a JJ Abrams show. Besides, I’ll need something besides a basic procedural to fill the loss of The Chicago Code for me.

My schedule is really starting to fill up. I’m not sure how many of these I’ll actually continue watching after the first few episodes. How’s your schedule looking? Any new series catch your eye?
