Aside from the fact that I'm not sure William Paley would even recognize today's multi-screen TV landscape, I'm quite sure he'd give Les Moonves a hearty handshake. CBS continues to do it the way they've always done it--and it works. Sure, they skew older than any other network, but they don't care. Sunday returns intact, kicked off by NFL overruns and the 46th season of 60 Minutes. (Think about what the world was like in 1968 when this debuted.) Monday, a traditional CBS stronghold, gets a shakeup with Mike & Molly staying on the bench until midseason in order to make room for two new sitcoms. Your weekly Hawaii Five-0 fix moves to Friday and gives the 10pm slot to the new Hostages. Tuesday is procedural night with both NCIS's and the newly slotted Person of Interest. CBS doesn't have any trouble there. Same with Wednesday which returns intact, anchored by Season 14 of CSI. (Interesting how the CSI mothership is now the only one still standing.)

CBS Thursday is interesting with two new sitcoms sandwiched between The Big Bang Theory and the new slot of (and again, retooled) Two and a Half Men. That's going to be interesting to see how that works out. Friday is new-ish with Undercover Boss starting the night and, as mentioned, Five-0 moving here to make it to 100 episodes for syndication. Nothing's doing on Saturday except encore performances (they used to be called 'reruns') and 48 Hours Mystery (which, I'm guessing has to be the oldest skewing show on all of network TV).

The Eye didn't have great luck with last Fall's slate of new shows, but that didn't slow them down at all. No problems for CBS.
