CBS Unveils Fall Lineup

Thursday Nights Remain Intact As Network Wins 2004-5 Ratings Race

(CBS)  For its Monday scheduling, CBS said it made two key moves following the departure of "Everybody Loves Raymond," which this week ended its nine-year run after winning 12 Emmy Awards. "The King Of Queens" returns in the 8:00 p.m. slot, where it previously dominated the time period, and "Two And A Half Men" moves into the "Raymond" slot at 9:00 p.m. Two new shows will enter the night's lineup, "How I Met Your Mother," between the two returning hits at 8:30 p.m., and "Out Of Practice," an ensemble comedy about a family of doctors, at 9:30 p.m. The night's #1 show in all key categories, "CSI: Miami," caps the evening.

On Tuesday, CBS is introducing one new show, the suburban crime drama "Close To Home" at 10:00 p.m.

One new drama is also being added to Wednesday, the suspense thriller "Criminal Minds" at 9:00 p.m.

"The newly modeled Friday night line-up introduces a diverse and compelling blend of dramas," CBS said, with the paranormal drama "Ghost Whisperer," followed by the alien invasion adventure "Threshold" and the returning "Numb3rs."

CBS also announced that it has ordered two new midseason series, "Everything I Know About Men," starring Jenna Elfman, and "The Unit," from acclaimed writer David Mamet and Shawn Ryan, executive producer of "The Shield."
