CBS Shakes Up Fall Schedule

After announcing seven series cancellations on Tuesday, CBS unveiled its fall slate on Wednesday with some more shuffling of its prime time schedule.

New dramas include "Hawaii Five-O," with Alex O’Loughlin; James Belushi’s "The Defenders" and the Tom Selleck/Donnie Wahlberg-starrer "Blue Bloods." The sitcoms are "Mike & Molly" with Swoosie Kurtz and "S#*! My Dad Says" with William Shatner.
