CBS Upfronts: Fall 2013-2014 Schedule Revealed

CBS is the next network to reveal their upcoming Fall 2013-2014 schedule. Among the changes are a few shake ups in the lineup department. Thursday nights will become a comedy block with Person of Interest moving to Tuesdays at 10pm. Hawaii Five-0 will be leaving it's Monday night slot and taking over for CSI:NY on Friday nights. Additionally, Mike & Molly will be held to midseason.

I'm a little concerned about all of these changes, considering they involve two of my favorite CBS shows. The reactions for Person of Interest seem to be positive but with ratings as good as it was enjoying, I'm worried they will suffer if the series airs later on at night. As for Hawaii Five-0, I'm not sure Friday nights are ever good for a series.

Check out the full schedule here:

Sarah Shahi Joins 'Person of Interest' as Series Regular

Big casting news for Person of Interest. Samantha Shaw will not only be back in season 3, she'll be sticking around permanently. CBS has announced that Sarah Shahi will be made a series regular. Shahi originally appeared last season as a mysterious character tracking terrorists before they act. She slowly became integrated into the center of the group, gaining knowledge of the Machine and driving Reese around town in expensive sports cars.

This is not the only news to come out about the show this week. Upon announcing their new schedule, CBS revealed that Person of Interest would be moving to Tuesday nights at 10pm.

What do you think of these developments?

Person of Interest Gains Viewers in Second Season

Big things could be ahead for CBS drama series Person of Interest. In a year where almost every series and network saw a slump in views, only Person of Interest and Scandal gained viewers. The New York Times is reporting that the CBS drama experienced nothing of a sophomore slump this year seeing ratings as high as 16.1 million. ABC's Scandal is also on fire.

The article goes on to say "Hit shows that gather momentum in their second seasons can create a cash cow that will produce revenue for years, even decades"

Sounds great to us! If Person of Interest could have a series run similar to NCIS that'd be amazing.

CBS Picks Up 'Intelligence' Starring Josh Holloway

Today has just been non-stop television news! Renewals, cancellations, and pick ups galore! One of the biggest standouts for us so far is the new CBS drama Intelligence. It will star LOST alum Josh Holloway. We are so thrilled to see him again on our screens. It's been a long time since Sawyer warmed our hearts. Josh will be playing an agent at US Cyber Command who has a microchip implanted in his brain that allows him to access the entire electromagnetic spectrum.

Now I have no idea what that means. Didn't he get enough of magnets when he was on LOST? But with all of the cancellations in the air today (CSI:NY, Vegas) there's a void that needs to be filled. And with a star studded cast that includes Marg Helgenberger from CSI, and Meghan Ory from Once Upon A Time, this could be a break out hit! Does this mean we'll be seeing a lot less of Ruby on Once Upon A Time?

CBS Renews Person of Interest and Hawaii Five-0

Great news! CBS has renewed a whopping 14 series for the 2013-2014 season. We're thrilled to report that both Person of Interest and Hawaii Five-0 have received early renewals. The Good Wife, The Mentalist, NCIS: Los Angeles, Blue Bloods, Elementary, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, The Amazing Race, Survivor, Undercover Boss, 60 Minutes, and 48 Hours join those two of the list of shows renewed so far. Things are unfortunately not looking good for Vegas and CSI: NY. Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, NCIS and CSI have all already been renewed and it's only a matter of time before Two and a Half Men joins them.

After 8 years of being a part of the NCIS team, Brian Dietzen has finally been promoted to series regular. After a shocking season finale, the move comes as a welcome surprise to fans indicating we'll be seeing much more of his character in the upcoming season..including the opening credits! I love this guy and his Harry Potter glasses. He's so cute!

Better late than never CBS.
