CBS rolls 8 new series; 'Joan,' 'Amy' on bubble

NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - CBS is planning to infuse more fresh blood
into its schedule next season than it did last year, adding at least three
comedies and five dramas.

The dramas picked up for 2005-06 range from bread-and-butter crime shows
("American Crime," "Quantico") to the supernatural ("Threshold," "Ghost
Whisperer") to the military-themed "The Unit."

After years of total domination of the male point of view on CBS' comedies,
the network is going for a more balanced approach next season with its new
sitcoms "Everything I Know About Men" and "Flesh & Blood."

Another comedy, the Julia Louis-Dreyfus starrer "Old Christine," is a subject
of last-minute negotiations between CBS and producer Warner Bros. TV for a
midseason order. As of Monday night, the two sides were still apart on
several key terms.

Meanwhile, the midseason drama "Numbers" was poised to return for a second
season, with the comedies "Still Standing" and "Yes, Dear" also looking good
to come back.

The outlook was much grimmer for sophomore drama "Joan of Arcadia" and
veteran "Judging Amy," with at least one of them said to be looking at
cancellation. CBS is slated to present its fall schedule Wednesday at
Carnegie Hall in New York.

"Quantico" follows the FBI's Behavioral Unit as it tracks dangerous criminals.

"American Crime" stars Jennifer Finnigan as a female prosecutor juggling
suburban crime and life as a new mom.

On the heels the departure of its veteran military drama "JAG," CBS is
putting on the air another military-themed series, "The Unit," which is said
to be headed for midseason. The show revolves around the personal and
professional lives of members of an elite military anti-terrorism unit. The
ensemble cast includes Dennis Haysbert, Scott Foley, Robert Patrick and
Regina Taylor.

Following the success of "Lost," almost every network is adding a new drama
about mysterious creatures next season. CBS' entrant is "Threshold," about a
team of scientists and military personnel communicating with an alien
life-form.

And CBS' answer to NBC's successful midseason drama "Medium" is "Ghost
Whisperer," a Jennifer Love Hewitt vehicle based on the work of James Van
Praagh about a newlywed communicating with dead people who have not quite
crossed over to the other side.

The comedy "How I Met Your Mother" is an ensemble from the point of view of a
family man looking back on his single life.

"Flesh & Blood," from "Frasier" veterans Joe Keenan and Christopher Lloyd,
stars Stockard Channing and Henry Winkler as the recently divorced heads of
a family of single doctors.

And "Everything I Know About Men," which is expected to go midseason, stars
Jenna Elfman as a single woman juggling the men in her life.
