CBS reportedly will announce on Wednesday the pick-up of six new series for the 2008-09 TV season, including no less than four new dramas. Among that bunch are
The Ex List (nee The
Mythological Ex, a title you
knew wasn't going to play in Peoria) starring
Grey's Anatomy's Elizabeth Reaser;
The Mentalist, starring Simon Baker; Jerry Bruckheimer's
Eleventh Hour (in which a science professor advises a government agency; and
Harper's Island (a murder mystery set at an island wedding).
CBS two new comedies are
Worst Week of My Life, chronicling the days before a young couple's wedding (because
Big Day blew the roof off the place) and an untitled laffer starring Jay Mohr as a recent divorce.
As reported earlier by Ausiello, CBS is expected to bring back
The Unit and
How I Met Your Mother, though
Moonlight and
Old Christine remain question marks. -
