As Top Network, CBS Doesn't Need Too Many New Shows

When you're the #1 network on TV, there's no reason to shake things up too much, and so CBS has unveiled only five new shows and a mild shuffling of the deck for its fall lineup. Among the new offerings are two sitcoms, four dramas and five movie stars.

MONDAY
2 BROKE GIRLS @ 8:30 - Kat Dennings ("Thor") and Beth Behrs star as an over-it-all hipster and an uptown fundie who become friends waitressing at the Williambsburg Diner, with an eye toward starting a cupcake business.

TUESDAY
UNFORGETTABLE @ 10:00 - Poppy Montgomery stars as Carrie Wells, an ex-cop with a rare condition that saddles her with a too-good memory, she can remember everything--except, of course, the details that would help her catch her sister's killer. Isn't that always the way?

THURSDAY
HOW TO BE A GENTLEMAN @ 8:30 - A sitcom based on the book of the same name, stars David Hornsby as an etiquette columnist who's become too detached from the real world. When his editor, Dave Foley, threatens to fire him if he doesn't get a little edgier, he turns to an old friend, Kevin Dillon, a rude and loud gym owner, for help.

PERSON OF INTEREST @ 9:00 - Jim Caviezel is an ex-CIA agent who teams up with a genius billionaire, Michael Emerson, to fight crime. But they're so successful that they catch the attention of an NYPD cop, Taraji P. Henson. Executive producers include J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan.

FRIDAY
A GIFTED MAN @ 8:00 - Patrick Wilson stars as a gifted surgeon whose dead wife starts teaching him from the great beyond about what's really important in life.

Mid-season Replacement

The 2-2 - A New York City cop drama following six rookies, including a volleyball champ and Iraq veteran played by Leelee Sobieski, and an old-for-a-newbie former police reporter played Adam Goldberg. Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal are the executive prodicers.
