CBS axed “2 Broke Girls”??!!
CBS dumped “2 Broke Girls”, and the circumstances share several commonalities with “Last Man Standing”, which ABC axed last week.
They both lasted six seasons, they both started out hot in Season One, but eventually lost well over half their audiences, and perhaps most importantly, they were both being licensed by an outside production company.
That means the networks didn’t own the shows, and so the costs of keeping them on the air were even more than an in-house production.
In any event the other shows CBS is NOT bringing back are: “American Gothic”, “BrainDead”, “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders”, “Doubt”, “The Great Indoors”, “The Odd Couple”, “Pure Genius”, “Ransom”, and “Training Day”.
And the shows CBS renewed include . . . “48 Hours”, “60 Minutes”, “The Amazing Race”, “The Big Bang Theory”, “Blue Bloods”, “Bull”, “Code Black”, “Criminal Minds”, “Elementary”, “Hawaii Five-0”, “Kevin Can Wait”, “Life in Pieces”, “MacGyver”, “Madam Secretary”, “Man with a Plan”, “Mom”, “NCIS”, “NCIS: Los Angeles”, “NCIS: New Orleans”, “Scorpion”, “Superior Donuts”, and “Survivor”.
They also renewed “The Good Fight”, which airs on CBS All-Access so my wife will be VERY happy.

CBS also unveiled their schedule for next season, and it includes a comedy about a man who’s trying to follow the Bible as literally as possible called “By the Book”, and a “Big Bang Theory” prequel called “Young Sheldon”.
There’s another comedy called “9JKL” about a man who finds himself living in an apartment next to his parents.
Another new sitcom is called “Me, Myself, and I”, which simultaneously follows a man’s life at three different ages . . . as a 63-year-old, as a 40-year-old, and as a 14-year-old. John Larroquette plays him as an old man and Bobby Moynihan from “Saturday Night Live” is him at middle age.
There’s a military drama called “SEAL Team” starring David Boreanaz from “Bones” and a reboot of the ’70s cop drama “S.W.A.T.” starring Shemar Moore.
They also released a trailer for “Star Trek: Discovery”, which stars Sonequa Martin-Green who you knew as Sasha on “The Walking Dead”. It will debut on CBS’ ‘All Access’ streaming service this fall.
