CBS has unveiled its fall premiere dates, becoming the first network to pull back the curtain on when popular shows will make their way back. At a time when there has been a lot of coverage about broadcast networks pulling back on scripted programming, CBS is charging full speed ahead with a healthy and popular primetime line-up.<\/p>\n

The network has dramas like Tracker and Matlock, which are among the most-watched new shows on television, as well as long-running staples like NCIS. But it\u2019s also trying its hand at new spinoffs such as Boston Blue and the Fire Country offshoot Sheriff Country.<\/p>\n

Our Take On The CBS Schedule
\nIt Won\u2019t Be Long Now<\/h3>\n

With the release dates confirmed, it\u2019s just a few more episodes before CBS starts rolling out new episodes of their popular dramas and comedies. It\u2019s a line-up that heavily favors franchises and fresh faces, with something for everyone. It\u2019s proven to work well so far, as the network has hit big with some of its most recent debuts.<\/p>\n
