CBS ANNOUNCES RENEWALS FOR 18 PRIMETIME SHOWS FOR THE 2012-2013 SEASON
Renewals Showcase the Strength, Stability and Success of Television’s
#1 Network
In a move that renews a large portion of television’s #1 primetime lineup, CBS announced today it has picked up 18 returning series for the 2012-2013 broadcast season.
The renewals include four comedies, nine dramas, three reality series and two newsmagazines. The returning shows encompass every night of the week and every hour, many of which are #1 in their time period and some #1 on the entire night.
The renewed comedies include the previously announced multi-year pickups of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and THE BIG BANG THEORY, the season’s #1 comedy and the first scripted program to top “American Idol” in viewers and adults 18-49; 2 BROKE GIRLS, the season’s #1 new comedy in viewers and key demographics; and sophomore hit MIKE & MOLLY.
Also in comedy, CBS and Warner Bros. Television are in preliminary discussions regarding future seasons for TWO AND A HALF MEN.
Renewed dramas are NCIS, television’s #1 drama/scripted program for the third consecutive year; NCIS: LOS ANGELES, the #2 drama for the second straight year; HAWAII FIVE-0, CRIMINAL MINDS, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, PERSON OF INTEREST, the #1 new series of the season, THE MENTALIST, BLUE BLOODS and the award-winning and critically acclaimed THE GOOD WIFE.
Among the Network’s returning reality series are THE AMAZING RACE, UNDERCOVER BOSS and the previously renewed SURVIVOR.
Television’s top newsmagazines, 60 MINUTES and 48 HOURS MYSTERY, will also return in the fall.
“This large-scale renewal is testimony to the strength, stability and success of a deep and diverse roster of top-rated programming,” said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment. “It positions us for continued success next season and certainly creates an environment that will give our new shows the best possible chance to succeed.”
Season-to-date, CBS is first in viewers (12.13m) and adults 25-54 (4.1/10) and a strong second in adults 18-49 (3.1/08). The Network is posting across-the-board year-to-year growth, up +1% in viewers, +2% in adults 25-54 and +3% in adults 18-49.

Yess!!!!!

It's always really cool to see this :yess: May TAR never die!

The way the press release is written, almost all of these series are number 1 in their time slot or on their night (TAR has generally been number one at their hour, and at worse, second on Sundays. I think its clearly implied that season 22 for next spring is all but a formal greenlight. I've never seen CBS renew most of their schedule in one swoop like this two months before the upfronts, and that's part of my reasoning why I think beth cycles have been cleared. (In fact CBS is rarely the first network to do this, and they are the first of the five (ABC, NBC, FOX, and the CW) this year.

Fantastic!! :conf: I wish I can join TAR 22. :'(

But where its says that is for season 22 too. I think it was just for season 21 :gaah:

I agree...I do not see an official greenlight for TAR 22 in that release.
HOWEVER...I do believe that TAR 22 has an "unofficial" green light for TAR 22. :tup:
But in any case:

I explained what I think CBS was up to in with that press release in my second post in the thread. I've never seen CBS announce this many renewals for the full television season (September-May) at one time before, and it's the fact that CBS implies that the Survivor/TAR/UB renewals are on par with the other 15 shows that leads me to think they're coyly letting us know. But I'll add a question mark just to confuse things more. ;)

Awesome news! :yess: :yess: :yess:
(And I'm quite happy to see some of my other faves renewed as well in that article! :conf: )
-
I didn't expect UB would be so strong on Friday as well as its renewal for S4.
-
Can you imagine TAR not being renewed? :(
How many more seasons can it go?
-
TAR forever.
-
TAR will never end. It's one of those shows where ideas/tasks/challenges can never run out. Even when a leg is lame, it still brings excitement nevertheless.
TAR forever... and ever. :ghug:
-
TAR forever.
:like: :like: :like: :like:

Here's to 20 seasons of the race.
And to 20 more after that!
:jam:
