CBS announces summer schedule changes

by Jennifer Squires Biller

How I Met Your Mother airing twice on Mondays and Big Brother: All-Stars moves from Saturday to Sunday

Have you met Ted? Or Barney? OK, why not? Those of you who never got the chance to check out the CBS comedy How I Met Your Mother, now is the time. CBS announced Friday that beginning Monday, July 10, the show will get two Monday airings. Hmmm, I wonder what Barney would think of this move? The word “legendary” comes to mind, no?

Here is the complete press release from CBS about other summer schedule changes:

Saturday Edition of "Big Brother: All-Stars" Moves to Sundays at 8 PM While "Cold Case" and "Without a Trace" Move to Their New Fall Time Periods at 9 PM and 10 PM Respectively, Effective July 16

"NCIS" and "The Unit" Report for Temporary Friday Duty, Beginning July 7

"How I Met Your Mother" 'Suits Up' For an Additional 9:30 PM Broadcast, Beginning Monday, July 10

The July 5 Premiere of "Rock Star: Supernova" Expands to 90-Minutes

The houseguests of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS have a new home on Sundays, one of several summer scheduling changes announced today by CBS.

The Saturday edition of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS will move to Sunday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), followed by the relocation of COLD CASE (9:00-10:00 PM. ET/PT) and WITHOUT A TRACE (10:00-11:00 PM/PT) to their new fall time periods, effective July 16. The move of BIG BROTHER: ALL STARS to Sunday warms the time period for another reality series in the fall when THE AMAZING RACE moves to Sundays at 8 PM.

The Tuesday edition of BIG BROTHER: ALL-STARS (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) and Thursday edition (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) will not change.

WITHOUT A TRACE will continue to be broadcast in its current Thursday time period (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) through the remainder of the summer.

In other summer scheduling moves, the July 5 premiere of ROCK STAR: SUPERNOVA will be expanded to 90-minutes (8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT), followed by a 90-minute CSI: MIAMI.

NCIS and THE UNIT will relocate to Fridays for the duration of the summer, effective July 7 with NCIS broadcast from 8:00-9:00 PM, followed by THE UNIT from 9:00-10:00 PM.

Also, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER will get two Monday airings, first in its regular 8:30-9:00 PM time period and another following TWO AND A HALF MEN (9:30-10:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning July 10. THE NEW ADVENTURE OF OLD CHRISTINE returns Aug. 7.
