CBS will return at least 13 incumbent series next season, only one of them a freshman.
The Big Bang Theory, part of the network's Monday comedy lineup, has been invited back for a sophomore season. It joins a dozen well-established veterans. They are the three CSI series, Without A Trace, Criminal Minds, Cold Case, NCIS, Numb3rs, Ghost Whisperer, Two and a Half Men, Survivor and The Amazing Race.
ABC in contrast renewed four freshman series earlier this week -- Private Practice, Pushing Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money and Samantha Who?
Several CBS series with more than one season under their belts are still in limbo. Among them are How I Met Your Mother, Rules of Engagement, The Unit, Shark and The Adventures of Old Christine.
