CBS shows coming in Fall 2009
CBS isn’t the sexiest of networks, but with its constant diet of cop procedurals, Chuck Lorre comedies and adult-skewed programming, it’s about the only one that’s done better this year than it did last. Apparently convinced that slow and steady – and unsexy – shows with bad scripts but good casts will win the race, CBS has two more cop procedurals, two medical procedurals and a law procedural – oh, and a comedy about a pregnant movie critic, starring someone who used to be in a Chuck Lorre comedy. They always like to throw a wildcard into the mix, don’t they?
So, after the jump, plot run-downs and videos from Accidentally On Purpose, The Good Wife, NCIS: Los Angeles, Three Rivers, The Bridge and Miami Trauma.
What have you been watching this week (w/e 22 May)?
It’s fast approaching that time of year when TV gets really bad (ie “Summertime”) but just in case there’s been some good stuff (or bad stuff) on tele that everyone should be watching/not watching, leave a little note below to help your fellow TV watchers sort the chaff from the wheat.
This week, apart from numerous season finales I’ve already cast an eye over, I gave CSI: NY a try after three years (or something) since the last episode. For some reason, it ended up being set in Thessaloníki (or should I say ‘Thessaloníki’), rather than New York. Wasn’t desperately impressed by it, but hey ho, it’s always nice to see Louis Mandylor getting work.
Otherwise, it was The Daily Show and The Apprentice: surprised to see Ben go – I thought lippy Debs was for the chop this week after the rocking horse fiasco.
As always, no spoilers unless you’re going to use the <spoiler> </spoiler> tags, please? Ta!
