MIDSEASON/OTHER THOUGHTS:
SHILO: The only scripted returnee will be whatever CBS decides to put in the Survivor slot come winter hiatus. This past season, it was The Mentalist’s final season and my thinking is that fellow WB drama Person of Interest will find itself with a final 13-episode season of its own. In terms of newbies, I think single cam Life in Pieces will find its way to the schedule, as will at least one additional multi-cam, while dramas to look out for include civil rights project For Justice and the Criminal Minds spinoff. CBS is said to be enamored with its drama pilots, though, so they could very well clean house and order a bigger haul than what anybody is expecting.
CRAIG: There’s a lot that could potentially wait for midseason: CBS could want more of a CSI show, more Hawaii Five-0, or to pick up one of their other new pilots. If there ever is a mystery to the CBS schedule, it is where they’ll put things at midseason.
