For reasons I don’t entirely understand, CBS unveiled their plans for the 2026-2027 season this week, well ahead of the traditional May timeframe for their upfront presentation.  The week starts with a revamped Monday without the familiar comedy block starting out the night.  FBI and its spinoff CIA both move up an hour, followed by Harlan Coben’s Final Twist, a true crime series hosted by the best-selling author.  Tuesday gets turned over to the NCIS franchise, with the original version leading off the night, followed by the new NCIS: New York and the returning NCIS: Origins.

Wednesday continues as all reality, with extra-long episodes of Survivor followed by The Amazing Race.  Thursday has the network’s only remaining comedies, with Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage followed by Eternally Yours, about a vampire couple whose 500-year marriage has grown stale.  Another installment of Elsbeth and the new Cupertino, a legal drama set in Silicon Valley, finish out the night.  Friday remains the same, with Sheriff Country followed by Fire Country and Boston Blue.  Sunday kicks off with 60 Minutes, followed by Marshalls, Tracker, and reruns.

On tap for midseason on Wednesdays are the returning NCIS: Sydney, Ghosts, and Matlock, along with Einstein, starring Matthew Gray Gubler as the great grandson of Albert Einstein who is forced to help the police solve their toughest cases.

Gone and never to be seen again are The Neighborhood, DMV, and Watson.
