CBS will make a big push in comedy this fall. The No. 1 network unveiled its mostly stable fall schedule Wednesday, with four new comedies and a drama, plus a midseason drama. The network (which is most-watched with and without the Super Bowl) made no apologies for being “smug.” “We like to win,” network president Nina Tassler said in a conference call with reporters.
The three most-watched dramas on TV, “NCIS,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” and “Person of Interest,” will all air on Tuesdays. “Hawaii Five-O” moves to Fridays. New highly serialized suspense thriller “Hostages” (from Jerry Bruckheimer, based on an Israeli format) will air on Mondays. The new comedies come with big names: Robin Williams, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Will Arnett, Margo Martindale (yes, doing a comedic turn), Anna Faris, Allison Janney and Tony Shalhoub.
The Comedies:
WE ARE MEN– a single-camera comedy about four single guys living in a short-term apartment complex who unexpectedly find camaraderie over their many missteps in love. Chris Smith, Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn and Jerry O’Connell.
MOM– a Chuck Lorre comedy starring Anna Faris as a newly sober single mom raising two children in a world full of temptations and pitfalls, and multiple Emmy Award winner Allison Janney as her critical, estranged mother.
THE MILLERS– Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles’ life until his parents’ marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. After Nathan finally breaks the news of his divorce to his parents, Carol (Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale) and Tom (Emmy Award winner Beau Bridges), his father is inspired to follow suit and stuns the family when he leaves his wife of 43 years*From Greg Garcia (“Raising Hope” and “My Name is Earl”).
THE CRAZY ONES– Robin Williams in a single-camera comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired* if he weren’t the boss. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays his daughter, his opposite. From David E. Kelley (“Ally McBeal” and “The Practice”).
The Drama:
HOSTAGES–Toni Collette as a premiere surgeon thrust into a chilling political conspiracy when her family is taken hostage by rogue FBI Agent Duncan Carlisle (Dylan McDermott). Dr. Ellen Sanders (Collette) and her family are held captive in their home by Carlisle, a desperate man doing the wrong thing for the right reasons, who orders her to assassinate the President (James Naughton) when she operates on him.
