The Walking Dead‘s Dallas Roberts has joined the upcoming second season of CBS‘ drama Unforgettable, joining returning cast members Poppy Montgomery, Dylan Walsh and Jane Curtin. Roberts, repped by UTA and Circle Of Confusion, will play Eliot, who is in charge of the Major Cases Section of the NYPD. This expands Robert’s relationship with CBS — he also has a recurring role on The Good Wife. Tapped for recurring roles on Unforgettable are James Laio as Jay, a detective with expertise in a wide range of technical subjects in the Major Cases Section of the NYPD; and Tawny Cypress as Murray, a former decorated FBI agent who begins work at the Major Cases Section of the NYPD. Unforgettable, from Sony TV and CBS Studios, returns July 28.

CBS Sets Summer Schedule, Premiere Dates For Unforgettable’ & ‘Under The Dome’: TCA

CBS has set the bulk of its summer schedule, locking in premiere dates for the second season of Unforgettable, the new Steven Spielberg-Stephen King drama Under The Dome, the remake of hit UK reality format The Great British Bake Off and an expanded version of veteran Big Brother. “This is our most aggressive summer so far with original programming,” CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler said today.

The 13-episode Under the Dome, set in a small town suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome, will open Monday, June 24 and will air in the Monday 10 PM slot. Repeats of Hawaii Five-0 will move to Friday 9 PM for the summer. Unforgettable, starring Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh, returns for its second season on Sunday, July 28 at 9 PM., replacing (usually very low rated) summer rebroadcasts of The Good Wife, which is getting off the schedule.

Bake Off will premiere on Wednesday, May 29 at 8 PM. The series features skilled amateur Americans competing in baking challenges. Big Brother will have a longer edition this summer, premiering two weeks earlier than previous years on Wednesday, June 26 at 9 PM. Once again, it will air three times a week, Tuesdays (9 PM, beginning July 2), the live eviction show hosted by Julie Chen will be broadcast on Wednesdays (9PM, beginning July 3) and Sundays (8PM, beginning June 30). The Wednesday live eviction show will move to 8PM on July 17 after the reality baking series completes its season order. NCIS: Los Angeles will move to Tuesday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning July 2.  Here is CBS’ summer schedule: Read More »

CBS In Talks To Bring Back ‘Unforgettable’ With 13-Episode Order For Summer 2013

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday June 20, 2012 @ 10:15am PDTTags: CBS, Unforgettable
Nellie Andreeva

EXCLUSIVE: It looks like procedural drama Unforgettable will indeed not go forgotten. I’ve learned that CBS, which cancelled the series starring Poppy Montgomery and Dylan Walsh in May after one season, is in discussions to bring it back with a 13-episode order targeted for next summer. The network declined comment.

Following the cancellation by CBS, Sony Pictures TV, which co-produces Unforgettable with CBS TV Studios, began actively shopping the series to other networks, including TNT and Lifetime. Unforgettable centers on Carrie Wells (Montgomery), a New York detective with the ability to visually remember everything, who works for a team led by her ex-partner and boyfriend, Lt. Al Burns (Walsh). Unforgettable would mark the highest-profile summer original scripted series to air on CBS in a long time. The network recently ran another crime procedural, Canadian import Flashpoint, in the off-season. Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘New Girl’, ‘The Voice’, ‘Unforgettable’ & ‘Last Man’ Rise In Finales

By NELLIE ANDREEVA | Wednesday May 9, 2012 @ 9:47am PDTTags: New Girl, Ratings, The Voice, Unforgettable
Nellie Andreeva

Four series ended their seasons on a high note last night. The second-season finale of NBC’s The Voice (4.3/11) was up 16% from last season’s closer. However, the comparisons are not apples-to-apples — this year’s finale aired from 9-11 PM, while last year’s ran from 8-9 PM in late June when viewing levels were 32% lower than last night. Fashion Star (1.3/4) dropped 15% in its move from 10 PM to 8 PM to accommodate The Voice finale. NBC won the night in adults 18-49, and CBS was tops in total viewers.

Fox’s Glee (2.6/8) was up 8% from its fast national last week, 4% from the final. The first-season finale of the already renewed New Girl (2.8/7) shot up 27% from last week. The finale of another freshman comedy, ABC’s Last Man Standing (1.7/5), was up 13% from last week’s series low to boost the show’s solid chances of returning next fall. Cougar Town (1.5/4), which may move to TBS, was up 15% from last week’s low. But, following a Dancing With The Stars results show (2.3/6, even with its fast national last Tuesday), Private Practice (1.5/4) dived 29% to a series low after two solid showings in the new Tuesday 10 PM slot. The medical drama has been under consideration for a 13-episode final-season order. Read More »

EXCLUSIVE: Jane Curtin is joining the cast of CBS’ freshman drama series Unforgettable as a new regular. The crime procedural stars Poppy Montgomery as former Syracuse, NY police detective Carrie Wells recruited by the NYPD’s Queens homicide unit who has  rare medical condition that allows her to visually remember everything. Curtin will play Jane Webster, an acerbic and demanding Inspector who was running the Medical Examiner’s office in Manhattan until being demoted to the Queens PD for mouthing off one too many times. Although she is a brilliant forensic pathologist with an encyclopedic knowledge of New York crime, she refuses to be pigeonholed as merely a crime fighter, and even teaches a course in Romantic Poetry at New School.

RATINGS RAT RACE: ‘Loser’ & ‘Glee’ Drop, ‘Body Of Proof’ & ‘Raising Hope’ Inch Up

CBS (3.2/8 in adults 18-49, 15.4 million viewers) chalked up another Tuesday win in adults 18-49 and total viewers, paced by NCIS (4.0/11, 19.9 million), which was once again the top program of the night in both measures. The veteran procedural and its spinoff, NCIS: LA (3.3/8, 15 million), were both down a tenth in the demo from last week, while Unforgettable (2.4/6, 11.2 million) was flat.

The damage to hot Fox freshman comedy New Girl from its forced four-week hiatus after an initial three-week run appears to be long-term as the series last night posted a 3.5 18-49 rating for a third straight week — 20% lower than the show’s ratings just before the break, which was used for 2 baseball and 2 X Factor pre-emptions. This is a shame as last night’s episode, which introduced recurring guest star Justin Long, was particularly strong. At 8 PM, Glee (2.9/8) was down two tenths, or 6%, from last week, while Raising Hope (2.2/5) at 9:30 PM rose a tenth. All three series grew slightly in total viewers week-to-week, with Fox (2.9/8, 6.5 million) finishing second for the night in 18-49 and third in viewers. Read More »

RATINGS RAT RACE: Fox’s Lineup Down In Return From Long Hiatus; ‘Loser’ & ‘Parenthood’ Up

What happens if you take a new series that is blazing-hot in its first three airings and put it on ice for four weeks? That’s a sure way to sap momentum, and that’s exactly what happened to Fox’s comedy New Girl. The network’s entire Tuesday lineup returned low last night after a four-week hiatus, only half of which was for baseball coverage — for the past two weeks, Fox held New Girl and Glee on the bench to accommodate Simon Cowell’s The X Factor. New Girl (3.5/9) and Glee (2.9/8) were both down 19% from their most recent originals on October 4. Raising Hope (2.5/6) was down 14%. This is the first time since its premiere that New Girl didn’t win Tuesday night in 18-49. Fox insiders expect the series to recover within a couple of weeks. Still, after all the marketing muscle the network put into New Girl‘s launch, to take it off the air for four weeks after only three weeks was risky.

With New Girl trying to make up lost ground, CBS veteran NCIS (3.9/11, down a tenth from last week; 19.4 million viewers) topped the night in 18-49 and total viewers. NCIS: LA (3.4/9, 15.6 million) and Unforgettable (2.3/6, 11.3 million) were both down 8%. CBS (3.2/9, 15.4 million) won the night (and every hour of primetime) in 18-49 and total viewers.

Is this the news CBS needed to give rookie Unforgettable a back order? After inching down the past few weeks, the freshman procedural last night reversed the ratings trend with a 9% bump in adults 18-49 to a 2.5/6. Its lead-in NCIS: LA (3.3/8, 15.3 million) was flat, while NCIS (3.8/10, 19 million) was down a tenth from last week’s fast national and tied Fox’s The X Factor as the highest-rated program of the night in 18-49. (It won outright in total viewers.) CBS (3.2/8, 15.4 million) was second for the night in 18-49 and No. 1 in total viewers. Read More »
