CBS was the first to announce their expected calendar of new shows, with original episodes of the comedies "How I Met Your Mother," "The Big Bang Theory," and "Two And A Half Men" airing on March 17. "CSI: Miami" is back on March 24, and "CSI:NY" and "CSI" are back on April 2 and 3 respectively.
"Shark" will be going back into production, but a date for the show has not been announced yet. The show, along with "The Unit" and "Cane" are on a previously announced hiatus to accommodate mid-season launches of "Big Brother," "Jericho" and "Dexter." The new drama series "Swingtown," which hasn't been scheduled yet, will also resume production.
NBC will resume the broadcast of many of its scripted series in April with new original episodes, including "The Office," "30 Rock," "My Name Is Earl," "Law & Order," and "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," the network announced Wednesday.Photos: 35th Annual Emmy Awards

- Too busy doing other things to care about modern TV (which more or less is devoid of creativity anyway), but I hope the overpaid (by comparison!) actors understand why the writers went on strike. Writers don''t make much; the job that lets the actors shine across the stage and beyond...
It''s way too easy to forget the writers. :( - Reply to this comment
