dpThe summer heat still is on, but CBS is looking ahead to the fall TV season. The network on Monday set premiere dates for its new and returning drama, comedy and unscripted series. See the full list below.
CBS will debut its latest series in stalwart military police procedural franchise, NCIS: New York, on Tuesday, October 6, between the new seasons of the mothership series and Origins. New legal drama Cupertino will arrive Thursday, October 8, as will freshman vampire comedy Eternally Yours.
The net said during its upfront presentation in May that Season 3 of Kathy Bates drama Matlock, Season 6 of supernatural comedy Ghosts and the series premiere of crime dramedy Einstein will bow in midseason. But Ghosts fans will get a pair of two-episode specials tied to Halloween and the holiday season on October 29 and December 10, respectively.
