CBS Announces Fall 2015 Premiere Dates for Supergirl, Hawaii Five-0, The Good Wife, and More https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/cbs-announces-fall-2015-premiere-190600291.html Summer hasn't even officially begun, but it's already time to start planning your fall viewing schedules. CBS is first out of the gate this year in terms of networks announcing premiere dates for fall programming, and once again, thanks to the addition of Thursday Night Football to the network's lineup, we're looking at a few weeks' worth of rollouts.The fall season officially kicks off (that's a technical term for those unfamiliar with football) on Thursday, September 17 at 8:25pm when the Denver Broncos take on the Kansas City Chiefs, but pre-game programming will begin at 7:30pm. Everything else a.k.a. the good stuff, doesn't debut until the following week, when on Monday, September 21, the new season of The Big Bang Theory officially launches the network's scripted programming slate at 8pm, followed by the new family comedy Life in Pieces at 8:30pm. The new seasons of Scorpion and NCIS: Los Angeles then follow at 9pm and 10pm, respectively. And here's where it gets tricky, because CBS's brand new series Supergirl launches itself into your TV sets behind an all-new episode of The Big Bang Theory on Monday, October 26 at 8:30pm, before moving to its regular timeslot of Mondays at 8pm on Monday, November 2.Leroy Jethro Gibbs and the rest of the NCIS team still anchor the network's Tuesday night lineup. Season 13 premieres Tuesday, September 22 at 8pm. Season 2 of NCIS: New Orleans airs at 9pm and leads into the the series premiere of the new drama Limitless, with a special appearance by Bradley Cooper, at 10pm.The 90-minute Season 31 premiere of Survivor will debut Wednesday, September 23, followed by the 90-minute season finale of the summer reality show Big Brother at 9:30pm. Starting the following week on Wednesday, September 30, Season 11 of Criminal Minds will take over the 9pm slot, followed by the new medical drama Code Black at 10pm.Thursdays will be reserved for football until November 5, when The Big Bang Theory returns to Thursday nights at 8pm. The comedy Life in Pieces will also make the move and hope to retain the long-running comedy's audience at 8:30pm. Meanwhile, the third season of Mom premieres at 9pm and leads into the new Maggie Lawson/Jane Lynch comedy Angel From Hell at 9:30pm. Season 4 of Elementary, now with more John Noble, will then debut at 10pm.Season 27 of The Amazing Race kicks off the network's Friday night programming on Friday, September 25 at 8pm, followed by Hawaii Five-0 at 9pm and Blue Bloods at 10pm.On Sunday, September 27, a 90-minute edition of 60 Minutes (insert mindblown emoji here) will lead into the two-hour series finale of CSI at 9pm. The new seasons of Madam Secretary, The Good Wife, and CSI: Cyber will debut the following week on Sunday, October 4 beginning at 8pm.Now, here's all of that confusing mess in a handy, easy-to-read list format (new shows are in ALL CAPS):

Hawaii Five-0 Casts Sarah Carter as Steve's GF — What About Catherine? https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/hawaii-five-0-casts-sarah-211051716.html

On the heels of Falling Skies airing its series finale, Sarah Carter has booked a recurring arc on CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 — in a role that casts a pall on a certain island romance.Our sister site Deadline reports that Carter will play Lynn, a nature enthusiast who stumbles upon some trouble whilst on an adventurous date with Alex O’Loughlin’s Steve McGarrett.That, of course, raises questions about how things will (or won’t) progress for Steve and Catherine (played by Michelle Borth), who had a warmish if awkward reunion in the Season 5 finale, when she returned to Hawaii after bailing on her love a year prior to fight the good fight in Afghanistan.“We play that [Steve/Catherine] uncertainty in the first couple episodes,” Five-0 showrunner Peter M. Lenkov told TVLine during our Fall Preview Q&A. He added: “There’s a big change that’s going to happen in their relationship.”Carter’s previous TV credits include DirecTV’s Rogue, CSI: NY, Dirty Sexy Money and Shark.

Hawaii Five-0 Season 6 Promo Features Pirates, Prisoners... and a Proposal? http://tvline.com/2015/09/03/hawaii-five-0-season-6-promo-pirates-steve-catherine-proposal/

Hawaii Five-0‘s Season 6 premiere is one to… treasure, based on this exclusive look at the first promo.The CBS drama’s Friday, Sept. 25 opener — titled ”Mai ho`oni i ka wai lana mâlie” (“Do Not Disturb the Water That Is Tranquil”) — is “loosely based on a legend that pirates attacked the island in the 1880s,” showrunner Peter M. Lenkov told TVLine as part of our Fall Preview Q&A, “so we actually open up the season seeing that pirate attack in a flashback. It’s our version of Pirates of the Caribbean, where pirates are attacking the palace and the streets of Waikiki. And that sort of launches us into a modern-day treasure hunt for what they had stolen.”

Hawaii Five-0 First Look: McGarrett plans to pop the question http://www.ew.com/article/2015/09/11/hawaii-five-0-mcgarrett-catherine-proposal

Could wedding bells be ringing this season on Hawaii Five-0?When the CBS series returns, McGarrett (Alex O’Loughlin) plans to ask Catherine (Michelle Borth) for her hand in marriage — and EW has a first look at the ring. But between Sarah Carter coming in as a new love interest and Borth only slated to stick around for a handful of episodes, that begs the question whether the outcome will be a happy one.“Boiling him down, McGarrett is a warrior with a huge heart,” executive producer Peter Lenkov tells EW. “From our first season, Catherine has stolen that heart and now he’s ready to take that major leap in their relationship six years later. It’s probably one of the bravest things this soldier has ever done. And yes, you may have heard that Sarah Carter is coming in as Lynn, a nature lover with whom McGarrett goes on a wild adventure. Let’s just say that it’s going to be a busy fall for our head of Five-0.”

Esai Morales Cops Blue Bloods Role http://tvline.com/2015/08/25/blue-bloods-season-6-esai-morales/

Onetime NYPD Blue lawman Esai Morales will again wield a shield on Blue Bloods.TVLine has learned that the actor — who most recently was seen as The Brink‘s POTUS and joins From Dusk Till Dawn tonight as a crime lord — will guest-star in a late fall episode of the CBS procedural as Delgado, a charismatic NYPD sergeant who has a plan to increase the accuracy of police statistics by seeking the opinions of city youth, and thus earns a promotion from commish Frank Reagan.The fly in the ointment? Seems that Delgado may be hiding some sordid behavior that could cause his image to lose some luster.I shall always favorably remember Morales from his turn as Bad Boys‘ Paco, while his myriad TV credits include Criminal Minds, Magic City, 24, Vanished and Caprica.

‘Blue Bloods’ Scoop: Anthony Edwards to Guest Star https://www.yahoo.com/tv/blue-bloods-anthony-edwards-129280752875.html

After guesting on Girls earlier this year as Shoshanna’s father, former ER star Anthony Edwards is set to make an appearance on CBS’s Blue Bloods this fall.He’ll play Owen Cairo, a stolid, square man whose life is turned upside down when his prized possession, the 1968 Mustang allegedly driven by Steve McQueen in the movie Bullitt, goes missing. He sends Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Baez (Marisa Ramirez) on the trail of the beautiful young wife he suspects arranged for the theft — and the race is on to both recover the car and uncover the motives that led to its disappearance.The episode will most likely air in November.“We offered [the role] to Anthony, our first choice, because he’s a terrific actor with an innate talent for drawing empathy and relatability from the audience,” executive producer Kevin Wade tells Yahoo TV in a statement. “We are thrilled that he’s joining us for this story.”Season 6 of Blue Bloods premieres Sept. 25 at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.

When last we tuned into CBS’ Hawaii Five-0, Steve and Danny had just saved the island from nuclear catastrophe (even if it put a crimp in Kamekona’s sales), all whilst on their way to Kono’s wedding to Adam.

Lenkov, who previews a treasure hunt, a humourous couples retreat, Halloween horror and more.
