CBS taps 'Supergirl' for Mondays

CBS unveiled a fall schedule that features three new dramas and two comedies, including Supergirl, which will debut on Mondays in November; a remake of 2011 film Limitless, and Life in Pieces, a multigenerational family sitcom. But many of its returning shows will remain in their time periods, including renewed freshmen series Madam Secretary, NCIS: New Orleans and Scorpion.

Once again, The Big BangTheory will air on Mondays while CBS has its package of eight NFL games on Thursdays, followed by Pieces; both will shift to Thursdays in November, joined by Mom and Angel from Hell, another new sitcom starring Jane Lynch (Glee).

Among returning shows, CSI will get a final sendoff Sept. 27 with a two-hour movie, including original stars William Petersen and Marg Helgenberger, while Ted Danson shifts to CSI: Cyber alongside Patricia Arquette. And Person of Interest will return with a shortened midseason run that will likely spell the end of the series. It will be replaced Wednesdays by Code Black, a new medical drama in a fall season that will see several new entries in the genre. For midseason, a remake of Rush Hour and a Criminal Minds spinoff, Beyond Borders, are on tap along with The Odd Couple, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly and Undercover Boss.
