Unlike its broadcasting cohorts, CBS doesn't typically use its upfronts as a time to frantically throw the everything and the kitchen sink out there in the hopes one sticks.  CBS knows its audience, and it's steadily successful because of it.  What is so interesting with this year's upfronts then is that they actually did shake things up a little: they didn't pick up another NCIS spinoff, and they overlooked Beverly Hills Cops.

Instead, CBS is adding two single-camera comedies (The Crazy Ones with Robin Williams, and We Are Men with Kal Penn) and a limited series run of Hostages, a Jerry Bruckheimer production.  Though most of the CBS schedule will look familiar (crime shows, canned laughter comedy), these new additions add a level of interest to CBS's schedule not usually seen.  Hit the jump for the schedule details.
