Network Upfronts: CBS Unleashes Fall 2012 Schedule

It’s that time of year again, folks! May is a busy month for TV, as your favorite shows come to an end, summer fare begins to creep up on us, and the networks unveil their major plans for the upcoming season. In the last week especially, we’ve been breaking news left and right regarding which shows will be coming back next season or which shows will be seeing the TV abyss. The question remains where each show will fit in the puzzle that is forming the best primetime schedule. Now, we have our answer.

Finishing up the Upfronts presentations, where networks present their new fall schedule to advertisers, is CBS. Below, you’ll find the schedule CBS hopes will keep them a cut above the rest as a premiere network. Notable adjustments to the schedule include the move of Two and a Half Men to Thursdays, pairing with Big Bang Theory. The Mentalist joins Sunday’s lineup and 2 Broke Girls snag the coveted Monday night slot. So read on below for the full schedule and catch sneak previews of the new shows. Let us know what you think about it. Of course, as the fall season nears (late this summer), we’ll be back with our TV preview feature.

Shows not returning to CBS’s schedule: CSI: Miami, How To Be A Gentleman, NYC 22, Rob, Unforgettable

Note: Rules of Engagement still on the bubble.
