CBS Announces Premiere Dates for Its Murphy Brown Revival and Magnum P.I. Reboot

The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon move to Monday for one night to launch latter

CBS is often the first broadcaster to lock in its fall premiere dates, but the network took a month longer than usual to finalize its plans for the new season.

Now the network, which was No. 1 in total viewers for the 10th straight year, has announced its plans for the fall, with much of its lineup rolling out the week of Sept. 24, as the 2018-19 season begins.

For the first time in five years, CBS’ fall schedule won’t be disrupted by Thursday Night Football, which would temporarily relocate The Big Bang Theory to Monday nights and delay the rest of its Thursday lineup until November. But with Fox outbidding NBC and CBS to nab the Thursday package for the next five years, CBS will no longer have to reshuffle its schedule midway through the fall.

However, the network is still deploying The Big Bang Theory and its prequel, Young Sheldon, on Sept. 24 to launch its reboot of Magnum P.I. that night, followed by relocated drama Bull.

Its new Monday sitcoms, The Neighborhood and Happy Together, will premiere a week later, on Oct. 1.

1. I was disappointed when they cancelled

Superior Donuts. I enjoyed that show and thought that it had a decent underlying social message.

2. I am looking forward to Murphy Brown.

I have been watching reruns that they began airing recently and the acting and writing is so sharp and clever. I guess instead of insulting Dan Quayle and the Moral Majority they will go after...all of them (NRA, Russia, Sarah Fuckubee, etc).

3. Me too... I'm thrilled that Candace Bergman is up for this, but sad the "Jim DIal' character

won't be able to (I don't think the actor is in good health). I read somewhere that he might make a cameo at some point, but I like the interactions between the Murphy Brown and Dial characters.

4. They are also leaving out Eldin, her painter/artist.

In real life he died of a heroin overdose...after a strange crime possibly involving him.
