O’Brien re-ups with TBS; ‘Big Bang’ gets spinoff
NEW YORK (AP) Turner says TBS has closed a new deal with Conan O’Brien that extends through 2022.
During the month of April, 23 of the top 25 prime-time programs on broadcast television were carried on WIVB-TV, the local CBS affiliate.
CBS’ six new fall series is more than ABC (five) and Fox and NBC (three each).
First, there is addition by subjection.
During CBS’ 2017 upfronts presentation, the network said the series has a Doogie Howser vibe.
Mid-season shows include Code Black, Elementary and Man With a Plan.
Young Sheldon will premiere this autumn on CBS.
Parsons and his Big Bang crew recently secured two more seasons of the hit show, even agreeing to take a slight cut to their $US1 million-per-episode paycheques so their lesser-paid co-stars could get a raise.
Bialik also insisted there is no tension on the Big Bang set. With network entertainment president Glenn Geller out on medical leave, Leslie Moonves, CBS chairman and CEO, and Kelly Kahl, CBS senior executive VP of primetime, shared the schedule and fielded press questions. And why shouldn’t they be.
Although CBS is wrapping up a season in which it will finish first in viewers for the ninth year in a row, the network still faces challenges.
Family comedy 9JKL (pictured) has landed the regular post-Big Bang slot on Mondays. He plays an actor living between his parents and his brother’s family in a NY apartment building. You can view the latest images from The Big Bang Theory spin-off, Young Sheldon, below.

“Kevin Can Wait” returns for its sophomore season at 9 p.m. and will move to 8 p.m. after football ends and the schedule readjusts. “One thing led to another and I thought, ‘This could be Sheldon.'” he said.
The clip shows Sheldon’s family, including his older brother and twin sister, how his fascination with science started, and how he started high school early.
Armitige, who previously starred in Big Little Lies, revealed what it’s like to work with Parsons, saying: “We sort of buddied together and sometimes it would range from stuff like, ‘Say this line a little differently because Sheldon would think of it differently.’ ‘Don’t smile, ‘” the child actor revealed.
