CBS have announced their biggest scheduling change of this mid-season, with hit new family cop drama Blue Bloods getting a trial run for four weeks in the Wednesday 10pm slot starting in mid- January, with the current occupant of the slot, lawyer-based dramedy The Defenders, moving to an open berth at Friday 8pm in early February (due to the ending of paranormal drama Medium).

With the chain reaction of schedule change, CBS will be hoping that they can still retain their core viewership, and perhaps even gain some higher figures for their prime-time entertainment series. They seem to be pinning a lot of their hopes on Blue Bloods, which has been a strong performer for the network since its launch in September.

Other key mid-season shows for CBS will include Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior, which itself will take over from the test-based Blue Bloods with the  Wednesday 10pm slot, returning Blue Bloods to its usual position on Friday at 10pm.

Series such as CIA dramedy Chaos, and new midseason comedy Mad Lovewill also be premiering next February as a part of a ‘Monday comedy block’ for CBS as the rescheduling of their weekly entertainment with the aid of a new generation of shows, in a shake-up that looks to continue well into the new year. The network’s senior EVP of primetime shows, Kelly Kahl said of the ongoing merry-go-round: “We’re in the fortunate position of having a schedule with many successful shows and very few holes. This allows us to be very targeted with our mid-season series.  These are moves that maintain the core stability of a successful schedule, while giving us multiple looks for the future at a few time periods.”
