CBS' Post-Strike Plans Features Lotsa Laughs
How I Met Your Mother by Monty Brinton/CBS
A rather nifty, Ausiello-ish chart sent out by CBS details its ideal plan for producing new episodes of strike-stricken series.
Monday sitcoms How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men are each returning with nine new eppys on March 17. (Rules of Engagement doesn't return until April 14, with a half-dozen.)
On March 24, CSI: Miami airs the first of eight new shows, while CSI: NY returns April 2 with seven, and CSI original flavor resurfaces April 3 with six.
Cold Case returns March 30 with five episodes, Criminal Minds kicks off seven new ones on April 2, and Trace is back on April 3 with six.
On April 4, both Ghost Whisperer and Numbers fans get the first of six, while Moonlighters are getting four new episodes starting April 11. NCIS is back April 8 with seven, and Shark's got four to unfurl at a to-be-determined date.
Of course, for Mike's terrifically comprehensive roundup of what's returning when and with how many, visit TVGuide.com/ShowStatus.

Wow - seeing the names of all the shows on CBS and the details of when they're coming back and how many episodes they'll air makes me realize how few shows I actually watch on CBS - only "How I Met Your Mother," "Ghost Whisperer" and "Moonlight" (oh, and "New Adventures of Old Christine" but that's a different story schedule-wise).
I can say with absolute glee and joy how happy I am that "Moonlight" is getting 4 more episodes - that is great news for this great show and I'm glad we don't have to wait 'til the fall to see more of Mick, Beth, Jonathan & Coraline! Yay!

Hi all. Anybody have an idea whether there will be extra episodes done next season, to make up for this season's shortage?

Very glad to see the strike is over, now EVERYONE can get back to work. Most especially pleased to see that we'll be getting new episodes of CBS's "Moonlight"....a top-notch show with a great cast, and fantastic writers. Understand that it'll be renewed for another season, not surprising since it won the People's Choice award for 'Best New Drama'.

Moonlight is the most original and smartest show on television right now! CBS surely would be burying a diamond in the rough by not issuing a renewal! Intelligent dialogue, incredible non-verbal communication between the talented actors, and kick ass action scenes move this PCA-winner to the forefront of drama on the tube today. Moonlight is a "delight" - a breath of creative genius by the talented writers of this show! CBS, please renew for 2008!
