UPDATED MARCH 23
Monday
8:00 - Kevin Can Wait
8:30 - Man with a Plan
9:00 - 2 Broke Girls
9:00 - Superior Donuts (NEW - Beginning February 6)
9:30 - The Odd Couple
9:30 - 2 Broke Girls (New Timeslot - Beginning February 6)
10:00 - Scorpion
For the time being, the Monday night lineup remains in tact. Both Kevin Can Wait and Man with a Plan received full-season orders, but The Odd Couple, for its third season, did not. With only 13 episodes, it will have aired its entire episode order by the end of January; new comedy Superior Donuts, a late addition made after CBS gave its upfront presentation last May due to a retooling and recasting, will move into the lineup at 9:00 on February 6, following a special premiere after The Big Bang Theory on February 2, with 2 Broke Girls shifting back a half-hour to 9:30. A description of Superior Donuts can be found at the end of this post.
Tuesday
8:00 - NCIS
9:00 - Bull
10:00 - NCIS: New Orleans
With Bull's full-season order, the Tuesday night lineup will also remain the same.
Wednesday
8:00 - Undercover Boss (New Timeslot - Beginning December 21)
8:00 - Hunted (NEW - Beginning January 25)
8:00 - Survivor (Beginning March 8)
9:00 - Criminal Minds
10:00 - Code Black
10:00 - Doubt (NEW - Beginning February 15)
10:00 - Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders (Beginning March 8)
Old faithful Undercover Boss returns for a short season at the holidays with a two-hour premiere on December 21, before seguing into the new reality competition Hunted, which is basically the most epic game of manhunt ever. It will premiere after the AFC Championship game on Sunday, January 22 before moving to Wednesdays later that week. Survivor reclaims its timeslot a few weeks later than usual with a double-episode premiere on March 8. Code Black, which has only a 16-episode order for its second year, will vacate the schedule early to make way for the new Katherine Heigl legal drama, Doubt. Criminal Minds stays put amidst the chaos.
UPDATE: Doubt has become the first show of the entire 2016-2017 season to be pulled early from the schedule. Canceled after only two airings, it will be replaced by the return of Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders.
Thursday
8:00 - The Big Bang Theory
8:30 - The Great Indoors
9:00 - Mom
9:30 - Life in Pieces
10:00 - Pure Genius
10:00 - Training Day (NEW - Beginning February 2)
10:00 - The Amazing Race (Beginning March 30)
New drama Pure Genius is the only fall CBS series which did not receive an order for any additional episodes, so it will wrap its 13-episode run early, making way for Training Day, the latest film-to-TV adaptation, this one based on the Oscar-winning Denzel Washington film.
UPDATE: Training Day moves to Saturdays at 10:00 beginning on April 8. The Amazing Race replaces it on Thursdays.
Friday
8:00 - MacGyver
8:00 - Undercover Boss (Beginning April 28)
9:00 - Hawaii Five-0
10:00 - Blue Bloods
While MacGyver has had a large drop-off from its great premiere, it has definitely reinvigorated CBS's Friday nights. Hawaii Five-0 is up over last year thanks to the compatibility and extra eyes on the newbie, and Blue Bloods is all the stronger for it as well. Undercover Boss will replace MacGyver at the end of April, airing for new episodes through the end of the season.
Sunday
8:00 - NCIS: Los Angeles
9:00 - Madam Secretary
10:00 - Elementary
Once February rolls around, CBS will no longer have to worry about football pre-emptions on Sunday nights, so we'll finally get to see just how this lineup is really doing. Elementary especially has a lot of ground to cover if it hopes to survive to next season.
Also of note, CBS announced it will be airing the Canadian co-production Ransom, "a crime drama about a world-renowned crisis and hostage negotiator whose team is brought in to resolve the most difficult kidnap and ransom cases" starring Luke Roberts and Sarah Greene, on Saturday nights at 8:00. It's an odd move when the show could have simply been saved for summer, but I suppose it's low-risk (and low-cost) enough to try something like this. Ransom premieres on January 1 before moving to Saturdays on the 7th.
Superior Donuts follows the relationship between the gruff owner (Judd Hirsch) of a small donut shop, his enterprising young employee (Jermaine Fowler), and their loyal patrons, in a quickly gentrifying Chicago neighborhood. Based on the play by Tracy Letts, the comedy also stars David Koechner, Maz Jobrani, Anna Baryshnikov, Darien Sillis-Evans, Rell Battle, and Katey Segal.
