CBS Sets Fall Lineup, Two and a Half Men Coming To An End

Network TV faces challenges from many sources today. Amazon Fire, Netflix, Apple TV and others are competing for viewers. CBS has revealed its 2014 fall lineup with some favorites returning, some going away.

Thursday Night Football will temporarily move "The Big Bang Theory" to Mondays for 5 or 6 weeks.

NCIS: LA is shifting to Mondays at 10/9c (following new drama Scorpion), The Amazing Race is headed to Fridays at 8/7c, and CSI is Sunday-at-10/9c-bound (spin-off CSI: Cyber will replace it at midseason). Also, CBS confirmed that Two and a Half Men is entering its final season.

Oh, and despite reports to the contrary, How I Met Your Dad is dead. Turns out CBS was not satisfied with the pilot that Craig Thomas and Carter Bays turned in. “We reached out [to Bays and Thomas], tried to get a redo,” said CBS president Nina Tassler. “It wasn’t what they wanted to do.” (20th Century Fox is said to already be shopping the project to other networks; click here for more on those efforts.)
