CBS to debut most of its new fall shows the week of Sept 22 -- just like always
The TV business will likely be very different once this fall rolls around. But one thing that won't change, is when CBS rolls out its new fall shows. The eye network announced today that most of its new series will hit screens at the end of September, just as in past years, with reality TV competition Survivor bowing the week before.
It's not much of a surprise that the most traditional of the four big networks would also adopt its tried-and-true method for rolling out fall shows. But everyone is trying to gauge the impact of the writer's strike and crumbling media economy on TV schedules, so even sticking with what's been done before feels like big news these days.

One month later...
It's "Life On Mars" on ABC that I'm thinking of...only it looks like the main character not only transports, but stays in the past.

My mistake...but I swear I've seen a promo that prompted me to say, "Journeyman's been reincarnated."

It's you :)
No, I've only seen a brief promo, but I think Eleventh Hour is more like X-Files meets the Da Vinci Code -- a super-smart scientist discovering there is more to the world than he dreamed....

Is it me or does "Eleventh Hour" seem like "Journeyman?"
