CBS announced its orders for fall TV today, including four new dramas and two comedies.
David Boreanaz, fresh off Fox's recently-ended "Bones," is jumping networks to headline "Seal Team," a drama following the elite unit on dangerous missions. Former "Criminal Minds" star Shemar Moore stars in "S.W.A.T.", a television version of the 2003 movie.
On the comedy side, CBS already ordered the "Big Bang Theory" spinoff "Young Sheldon." The two other new comedies are the family-oriented "9JKL" and the time-shifting "Me, Myself, and I."
Here's a rundown of CBS' fall shows:
