Earlier this year, CBS greenlit the pilot Bad Teacher, based on the 2011 Cameron Diaz movie of the same name, and now the network has ordered up 13 episodes of the show for midseason. Coming a couple weeks after the networks ordered and announced all their new 2013-14 season comedies, the Bad Teacher pickup is a bit of a surprise because networks rarely order shows this late. The single-camera comedy will find Ari Graynor (For a Good Time, Call…) taking over Cameron Diaz's irresponsible schoolteacher role with Party Down's Ryan Hansen, David Alan Grier, Sara Gilbert, and Kristin Davis co-starring. Bad Teacher's showrunner will be Community writing staff alum [...]
The President of CBS revealed some surprising information about how the ninth and final season of How I Met Your Mother will play out this, so, needless to say, if you don't want recent/future stuff spoiled, stop reading this now. Last week's Season 8 finale featured the audience finally catching a glimpse of the titular mother, played by Cristin Milioti (Sleepwalk with Me), but she didn't end up actually meeting Ted. Co-creator Carter Bays previously said the final season will tell "the epic story of the longest wedding weekend ever," and CBS boss Nina Tassler confirmed to TV Line today that the entire 24-episode season will take [...]
CBS has said no to a TV version of the 1984 Eddie Murphy action-comedy Beverly Hills Cop. The network commissioned a pilot for an hour-long procedural based on the film last year, but the show didn't make it on CBS's Fall 2013 schedule, which the network is unveiling this week. The pilot was created by The Shield's Shawn Ryan and it centered on Axel Foley's son, Aaron Foley (played by Brandon T. Jackson from Tropic Thunder and Big Momma's House 3), who is following in his father's footsteps by doing fish-out-of-water detective work on the west side of Los Angeles.
The networks won't be announcing which new shows they're picking up until next week, but one CBS sitcom pilot is already being given an early spot on the fall schedule. Deadline reports that CBS will be ordering the pilot Mom to series today. A multi-camera comedy starring Anna Faris as a single mother who gets sober in order to turn her life around while working as a waitress in Napa Valley, Mom was co-created and executive produced by CBS sitcom kingpin Chuck Lorre. The show is being eyed for the Monday 8pm post-How I Met Your Mother timeslot. Mom is the third comedy to get an early pickup [...]
Nathan Fielder, star of Comedy Central's excellent new show Nathan for You, made his late night talk show debut last night on Craig Ferguson. Like most first time late night guests, he accidentally spilled a cup of water in his lap. These things take practice.
Zach Galifianakis and Craig Ferguson met each other for the first time last night when Galifianakis was a guest on The Late Late Show, and the result was a pretty nutty interview, which you can watch in its entirety above.
CBS became the last of the Big Four TV networks to announce its Fall 2013 lineup this morning. The biggest development comedy-wise is that they're expanding their Thursday night comedy block to two hour now, giving NBC a run for its money by competing head-on with the Peacock Network's long-running but anemic comedy night. Adding more comedies makes sense with big hits How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men on the way out soon, and
CBS has four new shows with big stars on the schedule this time around: The Crazy Ones (with Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar), Mom (with Anna Faris), The Millers[...]
The four big broadcast networks are announcing their new schedules and shows for the 2013-14 TV season this year, and we have your first look at all the new comedies, all in one place. With NBC, CBS, ABC, and Fox all adding a ton of new comedies, there's a lot of stuff to look forward to, even though promising shows like Mr. Robinson, Mulaney, and Pulling didn't make the cut. The early contender for the season's most exciting new comedy is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, a cop show for Fox that stars Andy Samberg and was created by Parks and Recreation's Mike Schur and Dan Goor, but there's plenty of [...]
While Steve Carell has said he won't be returning as Michael Scott for The Office's finale May 16th, word came in a couple weeks ago that "producers mounted an 11th hour effort last month to coax Carell into making a cameo." Last night, David Letterman took the opportunity to grill Mindy Kaling on the matter, but didn't really get anything out of her. Any guesses on whether Michael Scott makes one last appearance or not?
All the late night hosts addressed the Boston tragedy on their shows last night, but Craig Ferguson discussed the day's horrific events in a particularly heartfelt and compelling way. Full video of the opening to his show is embedded above.
CBS released a bunch of trailers for its new fall shows this afternoon. Here's one for The Millers that stars Arrested Development's Will Arnett and doesn't really look anything like Arrested Development. See below for trailers for new comedies The Crazy Ones, Mom, and We Are Men, starring Robin Williams, Anna Faris, and Tony Shalhoub, respectively.
So…we didn't meet the mother last night in "Something New", so much as we got a look at her cute, possibly too young for Ted visage. Cristin Milioti's face, to be more specific. I thought after watching the show on a week-to-week basis for over five years that when the moment finally came when the titular mother would be shown, it would be a bigger deal to me emotionally. But I think I had assumed that when I first saw what this supposedly amazing woman would look like, I would then hear and see how she would respond to her future husband, what kind [...]
CBS today announced that they've picked up four new comedy series for the fall. Here's the rundown on the new shows:

Crazy Ones is a father-daughter workplace comedy created by David E. Kelley that stars Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar. The network's final new comedy, We Are Men, stars Chris Smith, Kal Penn, Tony Shalhoub, and Jerry O'Connell as four guys [...]
