CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler Talks Lessons Learned from TWO AND A HALF MEN, Ted Danson in CSI, and More

nina-tassler-cbs-logo-slice

Prior to the CBS portion of the TCA Press Tour, Nina Tassler, President of CBS Entertainment, took some time to talk about where she sees things going for the #1 broadcast network in viewers and Emmy nominations, the addition of Ted Danson to CSI, and what’s next for Two and a Half Men and its new lead actor, Ashton Kutcher. Here are the most interesting points:

  • CBS is adding the recognizable faces of Ashton Kutcher (Two and a Half Men), Ted Danson (CSI) and Terry O’Quinn (Hawaii Five-0) to some of the network’s most-established and most-popular series
  • Two and a Half Men went into production on their new season this past Monday
  • Ashton Kutcher will be playing broken-hearted Internet billionaire, Walden Schmidt, and his character will be introduced over a two-part story
  • They’re hoping A Gifted Man, starring Patrick Wilson, will appeal to the fans of previous CBS shows, The Ghost Whisperer and Medium
  • The highly acclaimed drama The Good Wife will return with the higher-profile time period of Sunday at 9 pm (on September 25th) and a very interesting character transformation ahead for Alicia (Julianna Margulies)
  • In a rather risky move, Rules of Engagement will be airing on Saturday nights
  • Police drama The 2-2, a pilot for Rob Schneider and reality series Undercover Boss are all being planned for mid-season
  • As of now, David Letterman and Craig Ferguson are still set in their late-night timeslots through 2012

Are Bubble Shows CHUCK, OLD CHRISTINE, and GHOST WHISPERER Safe? Is ONE TREE HILL vs. LIFE UNEXPECTED a Sophie’s Choice for The CW?

by     Posted: May 3rd, 2010 at 7:29 am

Last night gave us some insight into the fates of Chuck, The New Adventures of Old Christine, Ghost Whisperer, One Tree Hill, Life Unexpected, and Medium as well as some potentially bad news for CBS comedies Gary Unmarried, Rules of Engagement, and Accidentally on PurposeDeadline put their ear to their ground and reported the “rumblings” around town regarding certain renewals, likely cancellations, and even a couple cases of the rare network switcharoo–it may be wise to update my comprehensive bubble show report.

In short Chuck, Old Christine, Ghost Whisperer, and Medium should all have a home next year, while One Tree Hill, Life Expected, and the lesser performers among the CBS comedies may be left out in the cold.  Details after the jump:
