With CBS’ pickup for the frontrunners on the drama side, Person of Interest, and comedy side, Two Broke Girls, the next tier of contenders are rising to frontrunner status. The two locks on the hourling side seem to be ensemble cop drama ROOKIES and procedural THE REMEMBERER, with HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN the top dog on the comedy side. I hear CBS brass are split over an early favorite, the SUSANNAH GRANT medical drama, though odds still seem to be in its favor. Meanwhile, another early favorite, PI show HAIL MARY, has been the subject of contradicting rumors over the past day or so — from “it’s a pass” to “it’s going.” But the pilot’s fortunes have definitely fallen, so it no longer seems to be a sure thing. Depending on how many comedies it brings back, CBS may pick up another comedy pilot to series, possibly PETER KNIGHT. In addition to the already renewed Big Bang, Two and a Half Men, HIMYM and sure-to-be-renewed Mike & Molly, CBS is expected to pick up veteran Rules of Engagement, with a retooled $#*! My Dad Says a (small) possibility too.

Thank you. Any word on the fate of CBS drama that have yet to be renewed?

CBS is going to have a rocking fall! Congrats to Leslie and Nina!!!!!!!
Even if these aren’t your picks, at least you still have sixty minutes and the good wife.
I’m 64 years old and I live in New Jersey – it’s so great to have a network that is free and has perfect shows for me.
I have very poor mobility and I can’t afford cable. I can just leave it on channel 2 and I don’t even have to change the channel. I haven’t changed the battery in my remote for years!!!
I feel that this network is perfect for us boomers!
I didn’t care for two and a half men, but now that granny lover, Ashton is on it….hell yeah. He is probably is probably going to be chasing all kinds of tail, but we all know he likes buzzard meat!
Going to be a womanizer on the show
Great, the retired boomer who can’t go-out-to-shop market is just what CBS had in mind.
I’m 39 and I watch CBS all the time!
After I unplug my XBOX 360 dev unit and power down my FCP rig (with full RAID array).

It’s only your ageism that’s out of date. The New York Times just described how both the television and advertising industries have realized where the money IS in America. The post I put up with the URL disappeared, so here’s the relevant stats from it, and you can go to the NYTimes site for the rest:
“The most recent unemployment rate for those 20 to 24 years old is 14.2 percent; for those 25 to 34, it is 9.4 percent. The rate for people aged 55 to 64 is only 6.2 percent. Financially, the disparity is similar. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, those people aged 45 to 54 and 55 to 64 had the highest median weekly earnings of any age segment in the United States: $844 and $860, respectively. Meanwhile, those 20 to 24 had weekly earnings of only $454. Those who are 25 to 34 earned $682.”
Welcome to 2011, child!
I really wish they would bring back MAD LOVE at least for 13 episodes like what they did for rules — its a solid performer.
I wanted “Mad Love” to succeed…but its only been averaging around a 1.9-2.2 in recent weeks…which isn’t great. “Rules” is averaging around 2.5-2.8 which is a big difference. But then again, CBS has done weirder things.
Rules always performs well… when they put it on. That show must have kicked Les Moonves’s dog or something the way CBS treats it.
Officially nominating for best post of year…performance art or reality? Not sure if I ever want the true answer…Buzzard meat…
How To Be A Gentleman has a great cast. Hope it does well
what about cw? any news on the pilot status??
So thrilled about “The Rememberer”!
How can Shit My Dad Says even be talked about?! It’s the worst thing that’s hit the airwaves in years, run by angry no talent one-hit-blunders David and Max. This show needs to go away, no amount of retooling can save it.
Sure it can . What’s with the rookies – been there dome that
I’m a boomer too and we’re all different . I Haven’t watched CBS in years . I rarely watch anything that’s not cable
I hope HTBAG gets picked up for Dave Foley’s sake. He needs a steady job to make up for those child support payments he’s missed.
CBS is really keeping their comedies quiet. Havent heard a peep on Damons Wayans or Assistants or Rob Shnieder. Any word at all on those?
How To Be A Gentleman would CBS’ first good comedy since Raymond. It would also be their first watchable comedy since Raymond.
If Gentleman gets picked up to series I’m going raw dog all over town!
Not a boomer and proud of it…never met such an entitled group of whiners based solely on accident of birth.
And not a CBS viewer.
$#*! My dad says was a solid proformer on thursday nights. Give it that it lost about 30% of it’s lead in, it did outperform rules of engagements and kicked the $#*! Out of Mad Loves ratings.
So there are 2 CBS medical dramas still alive – SUSANNAH GRANT’s and Rina Mimoun’s THE DOCTOR with Lahti and Scott Foley? Or did I miss an announcement?
While I won’t be heart broken if it isn’t renewed, this boomer who does shop a lot is still waiting on the fate of “Bluebloods”
I hope Tucker Cawley’s pilot is in the mix. It’s too good not to greenlight.
criminal minds: suspect behavior???
CBS doesn’t usually doesn’t let anything leak or announce anything until their upfront presentation. Does the fact that they already announced 2 shows on Fri mean we’ll be hearing about the rest of their lineup before Wednesday’s upfront presentation? I’m thinking maybe hear their entire line up Monday?? What do folks think?
I was at the taping of the pilot of Vince Uncensored and it was terrific. Paul Dooley & Georgia Engel rocked as the parents. Big laughs. Hope CBS considers picking it up.
