CBS Announces Fall 2014 Premiere Dates

CBS has become the second broadcast network to unveil their fall 2014 premiere dates, which begin Thursday, September 11th with the first Thursday Night Football game of the season. Scripted content doesn’t return until September 21st with the premieres of Madam Secretary and The Good Wife, with the main takeaway from CBS’s scheduling being that they desperately want tech drama Scorpion to succeed. Having broken up their Monday night comedy lineup for the first time in three decades, CBS will surround Scorpion with an hour of The Big Bang Theory and the second season finale of ratings juggernaut Under the Dome. Similarly, CBS will give the first season finale of summer drama Extant a boost with a Survivor lead-in.

Among the series that will have delayed premieres are 2 Broke Girls, Elementary, and Two and a Half Men, all due to the introduction of Thursday Night Football. You can check out a full list of CBS fall 2014 premiere dates below, as well as the CBS fall schedule here and trailers for new CBS series here.

What will you be watching on CBS this fall? Do you think the ratings from Thursday Night Football will be worth the scheduling issues that it caused? Which new show will be CBS’s biggest fall hit?
