CBS is launching the bulk of its fall schedule during the broadcast networks’ official Premiere Week, Sept 22-28, but with a few exceptions, including a slightly early kick-off for its Sunday shows, and some shifts caused by its Sept-Oct Thursday Night Football games and the temporary move of The Big Bang Theory to Mondays. Of particular note is the loving care CBS is taking with its launch of the action procedural Scorpion, which will have its premiere hammocked between an hour of Big Bang and the season finale of Under the Dome, virtually guaranteeing it a sampling. (Last season, the network’s Monday night drama Hostages was hammered when it went head-to-head with The Blacklist, and clearly they don’t want that to happen again.)
