There may be a ton of fun Summer TV programming for everyone to enjoy this season but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t excited for the return of our favorite shows in the fall. CBS is the first network to announce the premiere dates for the Fall 2013-2014 season. Some series will be seen moving to new nights in the lineup (Person of Interest, Hawaii Five-0, etc.) and new times. Highly anticipated new series Intelligence will be joining the lineup mid-season.

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.

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?
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.
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?
We’re so happy for his success. Fellow LOST alums Terry O’Quinn, Mark Pellegrino, and Henry Ian Cusick all received good news today about their new series. Congrats to them all!
