WEDNESDAY
CRAIG: 8:00 Survivor; 9:00 Criminal Minds; 10:00 SEAL Team
SHILO: 8:00 Survivor; 9:00 Surveillance; 10:00 SEAL Team
CRAIG: I feel like the final Criminal Minds run could run in the Fall only for something like SWAT to take its place at midseason — or, perhaps, something new. For now, though, I think Wednesday will stay as-is.
SHILO: Even though Criminal Minds went directly into shooting its abbreviated final season, I think that CBS is going to hold it for midseason and try to rejuvenate the night with a new drama at 9:00. I went with NSA drama Surveillance, a project the network was high enough on to order off-cycle and something that fits with both Survivor and SEAL Team. Surveillance hasn’t been the buzziest drama at CBS this upfronts season, and Variety indicates that it might already be cooling off, but it’s something that fits their drama brand and could benefit from a 9:00 slot.
