CBS OVERHAUL ON MONDAY NIGHT'S adding "Young Sheldon" "Murphy Brown" "Bull"

CBS can not get arrested anymore on Monday Nights.  The once crown jewel night in their line up has now become their most problematic night.  All shows on Monday Night for the 2017-2018 have sunk the night to historic lows for the Network. 

"Superior Doughnuts"  "9JKL" "Living Biblically" "Man with a Plan" "Kevin Can Wait"  & "Me Myself & I"have not only failed to catch viewers attention but all of these shows have scored almost no critical acclaim.  This is however the night on the network that had such popular & classic shows as "I Love Lucy" "Murphy Brown" "Designing Women" "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "Two and Half Men".   However the ghost of seasons past can  rescue CBS Monday Nights for the 2018-2019 season.

The Ghost of the past "Murphy Brown" will most likely return next year in its original time slot which was Mondays 9:00 Pm.  The resurrected  show original aired on Monday nights for 9 seasons.

The Network will most likely will want to surround the show with "Newer yet established shows"  So look for "Young Sheldon" to anchor the night in the 8:00pm slot. Also look for "Bull" to close out the night at 10pm. 

I do not know what pilots CBS has on order for next year.  If they have a female driven comedy then that show most likely follow "Murphy Brown" to occupy the 9:30 slot.  So the 2018-2019 season on CBS MONDAY'S will most likely look like this

8:00     Young Sheldon
8:30     NEW SHOW
9:00     Murphy Brown
9:30     New Show
10:00   Bull 

However it is possible that CBS might leave "Young Sheldon" on Thursdays.  If that happens then Mondays could look like this

8:00     NEW SHOW
8:30     NEW SHOW
9:00     Murphy Brown
9:30     Mom
10:00   Bull

IF "Young Sheldon" stays on Thursdays then it will move to 9:00pm slot and "Mom" moves to Monday's.
