TIFFANY NETWORK: CBS may be the network for old folks, but gotta say that their new shows may actually be of more interest to methan any other network's. There's two sitcoms with tired premises but intriguing casting (one stars Kat Dennings and the other has a supporting cast featuring Dave Foley, Rhys Darby, and Mary Lynn Rajskub), and three dramas that I might actually watch--a medical show from Susannah Grant starring Patrick Wilson, Jennifer Ehle, and Margo Martindale, a procedural show about a detective with Superior Autobiographical Memory (aka Marilu Henner disorder), and Person Of Interest, with Michael Emerson as a reclusive billionaire who hires a ex-CIA agent to fight crime.
As usual with CBS, the biggest news is the moves, with Good Wife moving to Sunday nights (against Housewives, Football, Family Guy, and HBO programming and getting pushed for football overrun) and CSI to Wednesday nights. As a result, Thursday at 9 is looking even harsher than it was last year, with Person of Interest, Office, Grey's, and Bones squaring off.
