CBS Announces Midseason Schedule

CBS has unveiled its programming plans for midseason, which will include the debuts of sitcom “Angel From Hell” (which was delayed from the fall) and “Criminal Minds” spin-off “Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders;” and the returns of “Mike & Molly,” “The Odd Couple” and “Undercover Boss.”

“Undercover Boss” is up first with three airings in the Sunday 8 p.m. hour on Dec. 20, Dec. 27 and Jan. 3. It moves to the Friday 8 p.m. hour on Jan. 8 until the next edition of “The Amazing Race” returns on Feb. 12. CBS is positioning comedies in the Wednesday 8 p.m. hour in between editions of “Survivor,” with relocated “2 Broke Girls” at 8 p.m. into returning “Mike & Molly” at 8:30 p.m. “Angel From Hell” with Jane Lynch will debut Thursday at 9:30 p.m. (out of “Mom”) on January 7, while sophomore “The Odd Couple” steps in for “Life in Pieces” (which will have concluded the season) in the Thursday 8:30 p.m. half-hour (out of “The Big Bang Theory”) on April 7.

“Criminal Minds: Without Borders,” meanwhile, launches in the Wednesday 10 p.m. hour on March 2 (in place of “Code Black,” which concludes the season, or series, on Feb. 24). And two scripted hours – newbie “Rush Hour” and returning “Person of Interest” are still waiting in the wings.
