very cute, also i think we shouldnt panic if tar is held off because that means its likely to come faster than an announced season say febuary, one of cbs pilots will flop, they always do. now for the rumors hell anything can happen, so if its celebs i just hope its good tv, thats all i ask. if its new people the talk of celebs and keeping newbies out of the limelight is a great idea!!!

CBS Fall Preview
CBS’s new Fall Schedule is to be announced Wednesday, May 16th at 2:00 EST. CBS faces the same problem each year as they try to engage younger viewers to their shows, while in reality, continuing their same streak of repetitive programming. Case in point: how many CBS shows are you actually watching?
What do we not need to worry about?
Survivor (can you believe this is the only show CBS has officially renewed for next season?)
What shows are looking good for renewal, but no official announcement has been made?
Rules of Engagement (it had a good run as a midseason replacement), CSI, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY (although it’s the most vulnerable), Criminal Minds, NCIS, The Unit, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Ghost Whisperer, Numb3rs, Two and a Half Men, 60 Minutes
What shows are riding that bubble?
Shark (with rumors buzzing of a move to Friday), The New Adventures of Old Christine (with a possible less than full-season), How I Met Your Mother (rumored to be picked up for a full season), Close to Home, The Amazing Race
What should we prepare to say an “official” goodbye to?
The Class, Jericho
What shows did they already can?
King of Queens (series finale tonight), Smith, 3 Lbs.
What new shows are likely to be picked for next season?
The Hollywood Reported announced today that CBS has picked up four drama pilots "Cane” (with Jimmy Smits), "Moonlight," "Viva Laughlin" and "Swingtown," and one comedy pilot "The Big Bang Theory" (as well as an alternative pilot "Power of 10", a game show from "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" maven Michael Davies). The dramas "Babylon Fields" and "The Man" (with LL Cool J) are also said to be in contention at CBS as well, however face a lesser chance now.
CBS was also expected to consider at least two more half-hours: "The Captain" (which features Jeffrey Tambor and Raquel Welch in its
supporting cast) and "I'm in Hell." A lot of trade reports were indicating good buzz for "Fugly".

Yeah, Frankly I have mentioned in the non spoiler thread, that TAR may not be a Fall starter, but that its Demo numbers (the 2cd best of CBS Sunday Night), should have the show on its schedule.
Now there has been talk (over the ast two years) about downgrading the series to one cycle a year (ideally switched out with Survivor) as a means to ensure that he show doesn't burn out.
And without a writers strike possability I wouldn't be surprised at all if that happened this year.
But the last major strike I remember was in 1989, that severly hampered the season. And all the networks did over time in getting some extra forms of non scripted shows out there (at that time it meant a lot of news shows and game shows). There was also another one in a more recent time (that didn't hit the industry as hard, but they still made sure to greenlight more non scripted hours (and this time it did heavily include reality programming.
So I would expect them to greenlight the series, and give it a tentative spot (and I could easily see it being November-February). But that tentative spot could easily be switched up if a strike does happen or if shows tank.
If that occurs then I would expect a rushed 2cd cycle in this same season.
And damn its good to be back.
