Courtesy of my friend Ryan Witalison:
CBS will be replacing a couple of long runnings shows as they head into Pilot season with The Big Bang Theory and Criminal Minds both wrapping up, Big Bang ends this season while Criminal Minds returns next season for a shortened run. They are cashing in on the popularity of F.B.I. by ordering a Spin-Off Pilot after just one season. Based on the pilots they seem to be sticking with the criminal procedural but nothing is really sticking out so far, same with their comedies as nothing stands out yet.
