CBS is the second Network this week to set premiere dates for the latter half of the 2024/25 TV season. (Honestly, where does the time go?)
On the schedule, the modern day not-quite-Sherlock-Holmes drama series Watson, starring Morris Chestnut, and the return of Aussie NCIS drama NCIS: Sydney.
Also on the schedule (but not covered by TVPulse Magazine, skewed towards scripted dramas as we are) is the classic game show Hollywood Squares, starring Drew Barrymore as the center square, and hosted by Nate Burleson. The how features two contestants playing tic-tac-toe with celebrity guests to win money and prizes.
The schedule also includes post holiday return dates for fan favorites such as the FBI franchise, the NCIS franchise, CBS’ comedy programming, Matlock, Elsbeth, S.W.A.T. and more.
The following is the CBS winter schedule:
