CBS is the first of the broadcast networks to announce fall premiere dates for the upcoming season. Most shows of the network's schedule will roll out during the first two weeks of the official 2015-16, with The Big Bang Theory also being used as a lead-in for Supergirl in late October.
"With many of the biggest hits on primetime television as well as Thursday Night Football, we have the ability to strategically roll out our new season over several weeks this fall," said Nina Tassler, Chairman, CBS Entertainment. "We've created a very focused scheduling and promotional environment to provide the best possible launch platform for new and returning series across the schedule.
