With many shows wrapped up for the spring and the news of cancellations of some popular shows, fans will need something to look forward to from CBS, NBC, and ABC. Recently, all three stations have released their preliminary schedule for the fall. In this current schedule, only one new, original show is slated for the fall. The other new shows are all spinoffs of highly rated and established shows. 6r6v1e

CBS reveals the season finale dates for many of their shows, including NCIS, Tracker, Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, and multiple series finales. The finales for CBS' TV lineup mostly consist of season finales, alongside the curtain call for a multitude of series that were popular staples of the network for quite some time. This includes S.W.A.T. season 8, which is the last for the show despite being saved after season 6. However, some shows, like Fire Country and The Equalizer, will be expanding with new spinoffs later down the road.

Over the past several years, CBShas made several cancelation decisions that don't make much sense. Although the problem has been more pronounced recently, the network has a history of making strange cancelation choices from time to time, usually in an effort to rebrand itself and attract a different audience. For example, it is well-known that in the 1970s, CBS canceled Gunsmoke without giving the series enough advance notice to create a series finale — even though it was a winner for the network for two decades.

CBS' action drama with an 89% Rotten Tomatoes score is a streaming hit ahead of its season 2 return, making an impression before it even comes back. The primetime network is home to a variety of high-octane dramas, including major franchises like FBI, or all of the shows in the NCIS universe. Many of the network's popular dramas are centered around criminal investigations, often featuring teams going about solving new cases every week in professional settings. These continue to net strong viewership, given many have been running for over five years each on the channel.

CBS announces the winter premiere dates for 14 of its shows for the 2025 broadcast year. Considered one of the "Big Three" television networks in the United States, CBS has been a mainstay in households across the nation since it first launched its TV division in July 1941. 2024 has been a strong year for CBS, with several of the network's shows enjoying strong viewing figures and notable milestones across the season. This includes the NCIS franchise, which hit 1,000 episodes, and news of further renewals for 2025.

There’s something to be said about the enduring legacy of Gunsmoke, the Western that became an institution on both radio and television, and a big part of that includes the late actor, Burt Reynolds. Created by director Norman Macdonnell and writer John Meston, the radio series ran from 1952 to 1961 and the Gunsmoke show ran for 20 years on CBS, from 1955 to 1975. It was a feat unheard of for live-action prime-time television until the record was finally broken by NBC’s Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, which premiered in 1999 and is still active 25 years later.

CBS is set to revive a police procedural show called Einstein. As a major network, CBS is home to a number of procedural shows in several different genres. In recent years, this includes popular shows such as Blue Bloods, Fire Country, and NCIS and its various spinoffs. NCIS remains one of their most successful shows, spawning both NCIS:Hawai'i and NCIS: Sydney, among others, since its creation.

CBS announces a slew of premiere dates for its main shows. Many networks, including CBS, have had to vastly alter their release calendars due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. With both strikes now finally over, networks can resume production on their shows and look to the future release calendars as shows that were stalled commence said production.

Yellowstonewill be a part of CBS' fall 2023 schedule. CBS and other television networks have had to rework their planned fall schedules due to the Writers Guild of America (WGA) and SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) strikes. The restructuring began following the writers strike starting on May 2, and the onset of the actors strike on July 14 has further impacted matters.

Amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, CBS is considering airing some Paramount+ originals this fall. The 2023 fall TV season is still a couple of months away, but broadcasters are already preparing in the event that the work stoppage continues until the end of the year.
