CBS just announced its new 2012-2013 primetime schedule, which includes four new series. The network is also making four key time period moves.

Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment, commented, "These new series feature a great range of bold concepts, rich characters, big stars and fresh faces. From a new take on Sherlock Holmes to an epic battle for control of 1960s Las Vegas to a working-class point of view in a prestigious law firm, the dramas each have a unique style and sensibility."

The new series are:

-"Elementary," a contemporary take on the legendary detective Sherlock Hol...

TV producers have canceled long-running crime drama CSI: Miami after 10 years on air.

A statement from the network reads, "CSI: Miami leaves an amazing television legacy - a signature look and style, global popularity and as a key player in CBS's rise to the top over the past decade... We thank all the producers... and its talente...

Law & Order: SVU fans: you landed the best detective working in television.

After seven seasons as a major part of what made Cold Case a cult hit (one that's still talked about two years after its cancellation), Danny Pino has revitalized SVU in its thirteenth season. If anyone could fill the major void left by the departure of series star Christopher Meloni, it was Pino, who created a memorable character of his own in Cold Case's smart and often smart-mouthed Scotty Valens (and stepped in to replace a character on that series as well; current Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers had his ...

Kim Kardashian is to make her sitcom debut on Tim Allen's new show "Last Man Standing."

The socialite will follow in the footsteps of singer Nick Jonas, who played a deadbeat dad in the series over Christmas.

Kardashian, who has previously appeared in "CSI: NY," won't have to stretch her acting talents too much - she'll be playing herself in an episode scheduled to air in February.

Comedy aside, the reality TV star is getting serious about her acting career after landing a lead role in director Tyler Perry's new movie "The Marriage Counselor" last year.

The CSI franchise has become a mainstay on CBS - and likewise it's a fixture on DVD shelves. With the new seasons underway, the previous years of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, CSI: Miami and CSI: NY have arrived for you to add to your collection. Here's a look at all three new releases.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation - Season 11

The Show: Season 11 is Laurence Fishburne's third and last as Dr. Raymond Langston. I'm pretty sure that I'm in the minority here, but I liked Fishburne and thought he did a decent job while facing an audience that was and still is incredibly attached to...

CSI: NY star Gary Sinise has defended TV producers' decision to film a new episode of the crime drama recounting the terrorist attacks of 9/11, insisting it's meant as a "tribute" to the victims of the tragedy.

The eighth series of the show will kick off with a storyline about the characters' own experiences on September 11, when two hijacked planes were flown into the Twin Towers at New York's World Trade Center, killing almost 3,000 people.

The episode's plot has prompted some critics to accuse TV executives of insensitivity, particularly as the show will air on Friday, less than two ...

Cancer survivor Hill Harper is having to watch what he eats and exercise religiously after his thyroid was removed in surgery.

The author and actor has been given the all-clear after undergoing surgery to remove his cancerous thyroid - but now he faces a constant battle to stay in shape.

He explains, "They (doctors) say that the cancer was pretty much localized in the thyroid, so when they took out my thyroid, I'm good. The only problem is I don't have any more metabolism because my thyroid's gone, so if I blow up like the girl in Willy Wonka, it wouldn't be too good.

The CSI: NY star dedicates much of his time to helping troops and their families, and is an active supporter of war veterans organizations.

Mike & Molly, Mon. Sept. 20, 9:30/8:30 CST -- America's obesity epidemic has left a lot us a bit fluffier, and "Mike & Molly" might be CBS's attempt to deliver a show we can relate to.

The main characters, played by Billy Gardell ("Yes, Dear") and Melissa McCarthy ("Gilmore Girls"), meet at an Overeaters Anonymous meeting, fall for each other, and deal with the modern-day problems overweight couples face. Time will tel...

The concept of 'jumping the shark' is a fatal one for many involved in television. It all began in the tragic episode of 'Happy Days' in which iconic character, The Fonz, literally jumps over a shark, thus placing a death toll on the rest of the series. Decades later, some TV writers have playfully used the term in decidedly ironic tones, both 'The X-Files' and 'Supernatural' have episodes titled 'Jump the Shark' (Note: a portion of 'Supernatural's' crew are 'X-Files' alum) that tiptoe the line of throwing a series into oblivion.
