CBS Renews ‘CSI’s, ‘Big Bang’, And Seven More
Posted on February 15, 2008
Following NBC’s announcement just a couple of days ago that the network is renewing Chuck, Life, and Heroes, CBS decided to follow suit and name eleven shows that have earned berths to the 2008-09 season, including ratings-juggernaut CSI, along with its two spin-offs, Miami and NY, and freshman half-hour comedy The Big Bang Theory.
Cold Case, Criminal Minds, Ghost Whisperer, NCIS, Numb3rs, Two and a Half Men, and Without a Trace also have reason to celebrate, as they join the previously announced Survivor and The Amazing Race in the renewals list.
However, there was notably no mention for other comedies, How I Met Your Mother, The Rules of Engagement, and The New Adventures of Old Christine, giving the impression that CBS wants to see how strong their ratings are for their end-of-season episodes before picking them up. Also missing were Shark, The Unit, and freshmen series Cane and Moonlight.
