The CW's Fall Schedule

 Last but not least, tourists, we have the fall schedule for the CW.

Supernatural is making an interesting move to Wednesdays at 9 from its Friday slot, pairing it with the new series Arrow, based on DC Comic's hero Green Arrow.  Still think it sucks they decided not to go with Justin Hartley, who played the character on Smallville.  Not sure of the story behind that, but seems like a good match for the Winchesters, who will be going head-to-head with ABC's powerhouse Modern Family.

The net will also be presenting the reboot of the fantasy series Beauty and The Beast with Kristin Kruek - another Smallville alum - taking on the role originated by Linda Hamilton.  And we welcome back Carrie Bradshaw ... the younger version, anyway, from what we saw in Sex and the City.  I can't help but wonder ... how will it do?

So here's what's in store for the CW's fall ...

Mondays
8 p.m. - 90210
9 p.m. - Gossip Girl (In January, switches to The Carrie Diaries)

Tuesdays
8 p.m. - Hart of Dixie
9 p.m. - Emily Owens, M.D.

Wednesdays
8 p.m. - Arrow
9 p.m. - Supernatural

Thursdays
8 p.m. - Vampire Diaries
9 p.m. - Beauty and the Beast

Fridays
8 p.m. - America's Next Top Model
9 p.m. - Nikita

So, now that the fall show grid is complete, I'm personally happy as I have only one major conflict -- won't be able to watch NBC's new J.J. Abrams/Erik Kripke show Revolution on Mondays at 10 p.m., but all my other shows are in the clear with a little room for a couple of new ones.  But don't worry, I'll be here to breakdown the new shows in some form or another for you come fall.

Be sure to come back here throughout the summer, cause there's still plenty of television on in the coming months!

CBS Fall Schedule

Ready to "eye" what CBS has in store for you this fall?

The biggest change has to be the move of Two and a Half Men to Thursdays, promoting 2 Broke Girls to the anchor position on Monday nights.  Well deserved IMO!  Have NEVER understood why Men is considered funny.  I like John Cryer, but the show is painful to watch.

Being an original Jersey girl, I'm curious about the new show Made in Jersey on Fridays, though I won't be able to watch til after the Fringe series finale, since that occupies my Friday at 9 p.m. slot along with Supernatural.

So here's what's coming your way this fall on the net:

Mondays
8 p.m. - How I Met Your Mother
8:30 p.m. - Partners (NEW)
9 p.m.  - 2 Broke Girls
9:30 p.m. - Mike & Molly
10 p.m. - Hawaii Five-0

Tuesdays
8 p.m. - NCIS
9 p.m. - NCIS: Los Angeles
10 p.m. - Vegas (NEW)

Wednesdays
8 p.m. - Survivor:  The Philippines
9 p.m. - Criminal Minds
10 p.m. - CSI


Thursdays
8 p.m. - The Big Bang Theory
8:30 p.m. - Two and a Half Men
9 p.m. - Person of Interest
10 p.m. - Elementary (NEW)

Fridays
8 p.m. - CSI: NY
9 p.m. - Made in Jersey
10 p.m. - Blue Bloods

Sundays
7 p.m. - 60 Minutes
8 p.m. - The Amazing Race
9 p.m. - The Good Wife
10 p.m. - The Mentalist

Last but not least ... The CW!  Check back and for lots of goodies to come, follow me here:www.twitter.com/TV_Tour_Guide

ABC Fall Schedule


ABC is the next network to announce its Fall Lineup. 

Even though the net gave a last-minute reprieve to Body of Proof, it is not on the schedule.  It may be a mid-season offering, though that would mean a shortened season.  That's a shame ... it's a good show.

Looks like a great deal of shows are returning.  Dancing With the Stars is doing an all-star edition - that was only a matter of time.  And, like NBC, in late fall they'll be putting comedies in the 8 o'clock hour on Fridays. Not sure why the shift in November, but I've given up trying to figure out how network powers-that-be minds work.  Revenge moves to Sunday to fill the void left by Desperate Housewives, which had a nice series send-off this week, in my opinion.

So, here is what ABC will be bringing you this fall:

Mondays
8 p.m. - Dancing With the Stars (January will switch to the Bachelor)
10 p.m. - Castle

Tuesdays
8 p.m. - Dancing With the Stars Results Show
                 in January, 8 p.m. - How to Live With Your Parents (for the Rest of Your Life) (NEW)
                                  8:30 - The Family Tools (NEW)
9 p.m. - Happy Endings
9:30 p.m. - Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23
10 p.m. - Private Practice

Wednesdays
8 p.m.- The Middle
8:30 - Suburgatory
9 p.m. - Modern Family
9:30 p.m. - The Neighbors (NEW)
10 p.m. - Nashville (NEW)

Thursdays
8 p.m. - Last Resort (NEW)
9 p.m. - Grey's Anatomy
10 p.m. - Scandal

Fridays
8 p.m. - Shark Tank (moves to 9 p.m. in November)
             November, 8 p.m. - Last Man Standing
                               8:30 - Malibu Country (NEW)
9 p.m. - Primetime: What Would You Do? (moves to 10 p.m. in November)
10 p.m. - 20/20

Sundays
7 p.m. - America's Funniest Home Videos (how many years IS this???)
8 p.m. - Once Upon a Time
9 p.m. - Revenge
10 p.m. - 666 Park Avenue

Still to come ... CBS and The CW.

More Renewals, Cancellations; NBC Fall Schedule

Welcome back, TV Tourists.

Now have some news about shows on CBS that will not be returning.  The network has chosen between its CSI spin-offs, giving continued life to CSI: NY and putting an end to CSI: Miami after 10 seasons.  Also bidding goodbye are freshman offerings Unforgettable, A Gifted Man, NYC 22 and Rob.

Good news over at ABC, though, which has renewed Private Practice and Body of Proof, the latter being extremely on the fence.  I'm glad though.  I like the Dana Delaney series (and looking forward to her return to Wisteria Lane for tonight's series finale of Desperate Housewives.

NBC's fall schedule is now in play and I have to say, it's puzzling.  This network keeps trying to find its way back from last place (okay, technically the CW is last but unfortunately, that's never likely to change) but not sure their latest plan of attack, which looks to be combining comedy and drama on nearly every night with very few returning shows, is going to work.  It's a choice, I suppose.  But they seem to cancel more shows than anyone ... a show doesn't do well after two or three eps, it's out.  And this was the network that once gave life to Cheers - not at all successful its first season but when given a second went on to be one of the net's most successful series, going 11 seasons.  Times, they have changed.

In another surprising move, their most recent hit, Smash, will be held til mid-season.  Community and Whitney have also been cast off to Friday as the new lead-in to Grimm (??).  To me, Friday has always been "genre program"  night (X-Files, Supernatural, Fringe, Grimm), so this seems a very odd addition. 

So here is what you'll be watching this fall on the Peacock network:

Mondays
8 p.m. - The Voice
10 p.m. - Revolution - this is the new J.J. Abrams/Erik Kripke vehicle.  I was looking forward to this one, being that I'm a fan of both creators (Kripke's Supernatural is my fave show), but did they HAVE to put it against Hawaii Five-0 and Castle??  Guess I'll be catching up online later...

Tuesdays
8 p.m.  - The Voice results show
9 p.m. - Go On (NEW)
9:30 p.m. - The New Normal (NEW)
10 p.m. - Parenthood

Wednesdays
8 p.m. - Animal Practice (NEW)
8:30 p.m. - Guys With Kids (NEW)
9 p.m. - Law & Order: Special Victims Unit
10 p.m. - Chicago Fire (NEW)

Thursdays
8 p.m. - 30 Rock
8:30 p.m. - Up All Night
9 p.m. - The Office
9:30 p.m.  - Parks and Recreation
10 p.m. - Rock Center with Brian Williams


Fridays
8 p.m. - Whitney
8:30 - Community
9 p.m.  Grimm
10 p.m . - Dateline NBC

Sundays
Fall - Football

Post-Season:
7 p.m. - Dateline NBC
8 p.m. - Fashion Star
9 p.m. - Celebrity Apprentice (guess Trump in only going to do celebs from now on;  shame ... liked when it was everyday people fighting for the opportunity of a lifetime: an actual job in the Trump empire)
10 p.m. - Do Not Harm (NEW)

Check back all this week for more fall schedules.
