Poor ol' CBS. The network is doing so darn well with the shows currently on its schedule, it's having a hard time finding room for midseason series.
It is, nonetheless, moving a few things around and adding a few shows in the next few weeks. And months.
Here's a rundown:
Bluebloods moves to Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Jan. 19 for a four-week trial run. It's doing OK but not great on Fridays at 9 p.m., where it will return on Feb. 11.
The Defenders moves to Fridays at 7 p.m. on Feb. 4. It's doing OK but not great on Wednesdays. And "Medium" is ending its run.
Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior will take over Wednesdays at 9 p.m. on Feb. 16. We need a spinoff of "Criminal Minds" because you just can't have too many serial killers on TV. Forest Whitaker, Janeane Garafolo, Matt Ryan, Michael Kelly, Beau Garrett and Kirsten Vangsness star.
Rules of Engagement moves to Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 24. So one crummy sitcom will replace another, "$#*! My Dad Says." ("Dad" will have completed its season by then.)
Chaos, a drama about a group of rogue CIA spies (Freddy Rodriguez, Eric Close, Tim Blake Nelson, James Murray, Kurtwood Smith, Carmen Ejogo and Christina Cole), debuts on Friday, April 1, at 7 p.m. ("The Defenders" will have completed its season by then.)
Mad Love, a sitcom about four New Yorkers (Jason Biggs, Sarah Chalke, Tyler Labine and Judy Greer) — two of whom are falling in love — debuts Monday, Feb. 21, at 7:30 p.m.
As previously announced, Paula Abdul's Live to Dance premieres Tuesday, Jan. 4, at 7 p.m. and moves to its regular time slot — Wednesdays at 7 p.m. — on Jan. 5.
Survivor: Redemption Island premieres Wednesday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m. And Season 18 of The Amazing Race will begin Sunday, Feb. 20, at 7 p.m.
