At least SEAL Team gets a proper four episode send off before moving to Paramount+.

As for “Ghosts,” let’s hope its good as the BBC version that it’s based on, now that they’re taking the “Mom” timeslot.

From what I have read about the US version..it won't be
 
CBS’ primetime schedule looks horrid IMO as it’s just coasting off previous franchise successes...I mean CSI is back again lol? It’s a shame All Rise was cancelled and Evil was pushed off to Paramount+ but it is what it is.
 
Familiarity is a draw. If All Rise or Evil were lighting the world on fire, figuratively, and raking in the ad money, they’d be around.

Reviving CSI is an interesting swing. Procedurals do well for CBS, so going back to the granddaddy of their current streak may be a swing and a miss or a surprise success.

Like anything else, when the interest wanes, they’ll move on. But if it was your job to put forth a schedule to maximize profitability, what would you do? You’ve seen spin-offs do well. You’ve seen revivals do well. You’ve done less well with new series even if they have familiar intellectual property (Clarice). Your job is on the line and you would ignore success?
 
CBS seems to like brands that work for them. Just look at the naysayers who were ready to attack “The Equalizer” and “Magnum PI” with knives because it ruined the original versions, and yet the reboots have exceeded expectations.
 
so now we have 3 nights of Dick Wolf franchises all spread out to 2 networks, with CBS and the "FBI" franchise and NBC and the "One Chicago" franchise and the original Dick Wolf franchise of "Law & Order" on Thursdays. and i figured the NCIS franchise would have a night to themselves on CBS but nope, 1 NCIS show airing on a different night from the rest.

True. But given the success of “The Neighborhood” and “B❤️A” one gets the feeling that CBS doesn’t want to tamper with a safe timeslot.
 
The days of a really good original show on Network TV are long gone. Most of the shows are played out ideas. Done in the most generic and bland way possible. NCIS Hawaii shouldn't exist.

A good article about how risk-averse the networks have become:

The TV world is changing. You wouldn't know it from the major networks' fall schedules | CNN

The television world is changing at a breakneck pace. But you wouldn't know it looking at the schedules of the major broadcast networks, which -- in what can only be perceived as their collective read of both business conditions and the public's state of mind -- have stuck with the tried and...

NCIS moving to Mondays? Wow...this will be interesting in the ratings.

If it somehow is problematic to you a show you’re not interested in exists, and enough people don’t watch, it will cease to exist. “Problem” solved. If people watch and the network is making enough money, it should.

Your or my definition of good means nothing and may be radically different, and entirely subjective. I think Fox’s Masked Singer is terrible, but I don’t begrudge it existing because many people enjoy it. Good for them. It should exist because it’s good for the network right now.

And let’s not pretend artistic endeavors haven’t been derivative since the first face drawings. Or that broadcast commercial network television was somehow long a bastion of highbrow entertainment that never, ever borrowed from the past.

It's gotten -- really bad recently. But one can't really blame them. The budgets for good content have been moving behind paywalls for years, and what was considered terrible ratings even 10 years ago is now "good" today. When less than 1% of America is watching your programming that is available FOR FREE, you have to know that something is wrong.

I suspect what we are starting to see now will become the new "normal" within the next few years, if broadcast TV can exist without all the money cable brings in. That is, broadcast networks will be used to promote streaming options like Paramount+, Peacock, Hulu/Disney+, HBO Max, and Tubi. The CW pretty much ONLY exists for HBO Max and Netflix fees, and all networks now pull in ratings that used to be normal for The CW.
 
I’m more sure how we get the 1% figure, but setting that aside…yes the world is changing. But rose-colored glasses tend to obscure the past. Crime procedural shows are nothing new. Hospital dramas are nothing new. Family sitcoms with sassy kids and slightly dopey grown ups. Workplace comedies with a cast of eccentric oddballs. Competition (game), music and assorted non-scripted shows.

Netflix and the like get a lot of well deserved credit for making streaming mainstream. They also go to the same well of content because it works. Fuller House as one example. Their model allows for some bigger swings like Stranger Things—some of which hit, like that one, and some of which miss. The limited time inventory on broadcast means misses are more problematic.

In the big picture, there is no single milepost where we can say what is the new normal. It doesn’t exist. It’s ever evolving, sometimes at a faster pace. But I doubt we reach a point where the evolution grinds to a halt.
 
Too each their own. Way too many Chicago, NCIS, etc. shows. And we've already circled back around to CSI: Vegas. Didn't they milk CSI to death already? lol

They're both playing it very very safe

I used to be all over upfronts and fall shows and schedules but it's been several years now and my interest has waned. I also often choose to watch reruns of Golden Girls and Mama's Family over current programming ... LMAO. But that’s just me. Also Fox did try to revive both 24 and The X-Files but both flopped long term unfortunately but I blame it all on bad writing and bad choices.

CBS will probably stretch 'NCIS' through season 20, and then give it an honorable discharge.

If it keeps the huge ratings it has now, and there are no excessive salary demands, it could go on for even longer. It leads all other shows in all prime time hours on Tuesdays.

Although in real life the Leroy Jethro Gibbs character would have retired with a lavish government pension years ago...
