Notes on the Upcoming CBS Schedule: 2018 Version

As I hastily try to write all of the posts for this blog for the near future, I’m reminded that for a while now, I have done posts that talk about the upcoming schedule on CBS. Few people besides me would care about what show replaces what other show on this network. Honestly, a lot of my writing is just for my own benefit. But I might as well get this accomplished as soon as I can.

One of the things that will be a bit confusing is the Murphy Brown revival that is not really a new show but might as well be labeled that for the sake of this blog. It is taking over the timeslot that Life in Pieces had. Life in Pieces is gone now until midseason.

What are all the new shows? One is called The Neighborhood. Another is Happy Together. There is also a reboot of Magnum P.I. FBI is a new show as well. And don’t forget God Friended Me. Then, all of the new midseason shows are The Code, Fam and The Red Line.

Thursday Night Football is over on this network and that will be good for the future. It has made some of the scheduling changes a bit difficult to keep up with. Well, a lot of things were basically the same with some of the changes and didn’t matter until it was over. But there won’t be any issues with comedy changes with Mondays and Thursdays.

I need to write a note here for other blogs of mine so I’ll know where to look in terms of what might end up happening in the rare event that I create a new blog for some reason. What I need to know for this note is that Life in Pieces is now Murphy Brown. Instinct is gone for now with God Friended Me as its replacement, although Instinct will return at some point. Kevin Can Wait is now The Neighborhood. Code Black is now Criminal Minds. 9JKL was replaced by something and is now half of Magnum P.I. And Superior Donuts is now the other half of that show. Elementary is replaced by FBI.

Before the season ended, there were changes with other shows. Me, Myself, and I was replaced by Man with a Plan. Wisdom of the Crowd was replaced by Instinct. 9JKL was replaced by Living Biblically. Near the end of the season, Scorpion was replaced by Elementary. Criminal Minds was replaced by Code Black. And I think that was about it.

It will be confusing that some of the shows on CBS will be returning later, but not right away. Among them are The Amazing Race, Man with a Plan, Life in Pieces, Instinct, possibly Celebrity Big Brother, and I have no idea for sure what’s happening with Undercover Boss.

Have I covered what all is replaced by what? I hope that I have. But I don’t know for sure if I got all of it or not. Man with a Plan is being replaced by Happy Together. Only Man with a Plan will return at some point. Living Biblically now forms half of Magnum P.I. with Superior Donuts providing the other half. I have no idea what could have replaced Murphy Brown since it went off the air, but I might look it up in the future if I really care about it that much.


In conclusion, I hope that this post is worth more people’s times than just mine. I’m not entirely sure that it affects more than just me. I hope that I didn’t mess up too much of this post from what I normally have done in the past with things like it.
