CBS Announces Series Renewals, See What Made The Cut

CBS renewed more than a dozen TV series, which join the previously renewed The Big Bang Theory and How I Met Your Mother. Not all of the network’s shows made the list, but it looks like most of the network’s Monday night comedy line-up will be left intact.

CBS made the announcement today that they’ve renewed a number of series, including NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, The Good Wife, Mike & Molly, and of course, 2 Broke Girls. No surprise there, given the new comedy series’ strong ratings. Here’s the full list of comedies, dramas and unscripted series set to return next season...

Renewed:

NCIS

NCIS: Los Angeles

Hawaii Five-0

Criminal Minds

CSI

Person of Interest

The Mentalist

Blue Bloods

The Good Wife

The Amazing Race

Undercover Boss

Survivor

2 Broke Girls

Mike & Molly

The Big Bang Theory

How I Met Your Mother

60 Minutes

48 Hours Mystery

According to TV Guide, talks are in the works between CBS and Warner Bros. on the fate of Two and a Half Men. And absent from the list are CSI: NY, CSI: Miami, Unforgettable, A Gifted Man, Rob, Rules of Engagement and NYC 22, which doesn’t premiere until next month. I suppose it’s possible some of those shows could receive late pick-ups. CBS may be waiting to see how things look on the pilot front before they make final decisions on the remaining comedies and dramas.
