Kevin Williamson's new drama Stalker will air in CSI's old berth, Wednesdays at 10/9c.
Held for midseason are Mike & Molly, Undercover Boss, The Mentalist, new comedy The Odd Coupleand Vince Gilligan's new drama Battle Creek.
Noticeably absent from the schedule is the much-hyped How I Met Your Mother spin-off How I Met Your Dad. Explaining why the show wasn't picked up, CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler said Wednesday at the network's schedule presentation, "There were elements of the pilot that didn't work out." The network reached out to producers Carter Bays and Craig Thomas about redoing the pilot but "it wasn't what they wanted to do," Tassler said, adding that she was "heartsick" about the turn of events. 20th Century Fox, which produced the pilot, is free to shop HIMYD elsewhere, Tassler said.
