2013 TV upfronts: CBS announces fall prime-time schedule
NEW YORK -- CBS unveiled its complete fall schedule Wednesday, and the network’s prime-time lineup for 2013-14 includes fewer repeats, a trend also seen at Fox and NBC.
Known for its stable of high-performing multi-camera sitcoms, CBS is also slowly branching out into single-camera comedy with “The Crazy Ones” with Robin Williams and “We Are Men” with Kal Penn and Tony Shalhoub.
“Hostages,” a serialized suspense drama from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, is set to run for 15 episodes beginning in the fall.
A notable absence from the fall lineup is the hit sitcom “Mike & Molly,” which will be returning at midseason.
Otherwise, the nation’s top broadcast outlet is sticking with what works.
