Something new will be happening with the CBS schedule this upcoming season in the fall. It is something that has happened before on other networks and will probably happen again and keep happening. I’m not entirely sure about this, but I think that CBS might be the last of the major networks to embrace this type of format that all of the other networks have done at least once at some point. The only thing that I’m not sure about is if ABC has done this or not.
Now the CW did this at one point with their Arrowverse shows and other shows like it. Most recently, both 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star aired back to back on the same night on Mondays for a while. But both CW and FOX air only two hours of primetime instead of the three that you see on others.
What really made things seem very different was when NBC announced that the Chicago franchise of three different shows all set in Chicago were airing on the same night. This would be a first for the big three networks. It may seem like a weird thing to do. After all, one is more likely to check out all of the shows at some point and you wouldn’t want them to get fatigued at all in any way. Plus, you could help the ratings of other shows if you had them leading into other shows. It didn’t seem like it would be that great of an idea, but it worked and is still what is happening.
CBS will be doing this as well. They are going to air all three shows in the FBI franchise with the newest one being added to it when it airs on Tuesdays. They are putting what remains of the NCIS franchise on Mondays now instead, outside of the new show that will be starting.
It may seem strange and it is. I’m not sure how much I will like or want to do something like this in the future. But it keeps happening and we’ll have to see just how much we get like this in the future. I can only hope that I can like it and it works out for me to see them if I do like all of these shows.
