CBS today announced premiere dates for new and returning midseason CBS Original programming, including the new drama GOOD SAM and fan favorites THE AMAZING RACE, UNDERCOVER BOSS, CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER and SURVIVOR.
“CBS is having an exceptional fall, with the top new comedy and the top two new dramas. All our freshman series are resonating with viewers, and key scheduling moves are improving and strengthening nights,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “We’re up significantly over last fall and look forward to keeping the momentum going in the second half of the season, with a robust mix of programming including scripted, alternative and specials.”
GOOD SAM, starring Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs, premieres Wednesday, Jan. 5 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), after CSI: VEGAS completes its planned 10-episode first season. GOOD SAM is about Dr. Sam Griffith (Bush), a gifted heart surgeon who excels in her new leadership role as chief of surgery after her renowned boss, Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Isaacs), falls into a coma. When Dr. Griffith wakes up months later, demanding to resume his duties, Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert with a scalpel who never acknowledged her stellar talent. Complicating matters, this caustic and arrogant boss also happens to be her father. As Griff defies Sam’s authority and challenges her medical expertise, the big question becomes whether this father and daughter will ever be able to mend their own relationship as expertly as they heal the hearts of their patients.
The multiple Emmy Award-winning THE AMAZING RACE makes its eagerly anticipated return with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, Jan. 5 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) with Emmy Award-nominated host Phil Keoghan. During the 33rd season, teams of two once again embark on a trek around the world, hoping to be the first to arrive at the final destination, winning THE AMAZING RACE and the $1 million prize. RACE moves to its regular time period on Wednesday, Jan. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).
The 11th season of the Emmy Award-winning alternative series UNDERCOVER BOSS premieres Friday, Jan. 7 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The series follows high-level executives as they slip anonymously into the rank-and-file of their own organizations. Each week, a different leader will sacrifice the comfort of their corner office for an undercover mission to examine the inner workings of their operation.
CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER returns for a third season on Wednesday, Feb. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), with a group of celebrities living together in the BIG BROTHER house outfitted with 94 HD cameras and 113 microphones, recording their every move 24 hours a day.
