Though the WGA is set to resume negotiations tomorrow with the AMPTP, CBS isn't taking any chances in case a deal isn't forged before Christmas. The network just announced a new lineup for January and February, which includes the return of [I]The New Adventures of Old Christine[/I] on Jan. 28 and a first-ever winter edition of [I]Big Brother[/I] on Feb. 12. Other debuts: [I]The Power of 10[/I] with Drew Carey is back Jan. 2, the next [I]Survivor[/I] bows on Feb. 7 and [I]Jericho[/I] returns on Feb. 12. The eye also plans to unveil [I]The Captain[/I], a new comedy starring Jeffrey Tambor and Raquel Welch about a group of people living in a prominent Hollywood apartment building, on Jan. 28.
Until those picketing scribes make a deal and get back in the writers' rooms, CBS will continue to air repeats of its sitcoms and dramas in their regular time periods, including [I]How I Met Your Mother[/I] and [I]Two and A Half Men[/I] on Mondays, [I]NCIS[/I] on Tuesdays, [I]CSI: NY[/I] on Wednesdays, [I]CSI[/I] and [I]Without a Trace[/I] on Thursdays, and [I]Ghost Whisperer, Moonlight[/I], and[I] Numb3rs[/I] on Fridays.
