Viewers waiting to see how Charlie Harper’s (Charlie Sheen) absence will be explained on “Two and a Half Men,” mark your calendars: The big reveal will come Sept. 19. in the USA. CBS has released its fall premiere dates, and its beleaguered comedy will finally make its comeback with new cast member Ashton Kutcher.
But they’re not the only ones. The network is ushering in the fall season with new shows and double doses of some of its big comedies — “How I Met Your Mother” and “The Big Bang Theory” will air back-to-back episodes.
Making its debut Sept. 19 with “Two and a Half Men” as a springboard is female buddy comedy “2 Broke Girls” before it settles into its regular time slot on Mondays at 8:30 p.m. New drama “Person of Interest” will likely benefit from its “The Big Bang Theory” lead-in on Sept. 22
“Unforgettable” will premiere Tuesday, Sept. 20, after “NCIS: Los Angeles,” and “A Gifted Man” kicks off the night of Friday dramas — “CSI: NY” and “Blue Bloods” — on Sept. 23.
One of the shows not partaking in the Sept. 19-25 premiere week is “Survivor: South Pacific.” The longrunning competition series will make its comeback Sept. 14, getting a one-week head start on Fox’s “The X Factor,” which launches its two-night premiere Sept. 21. “Mike & Molly” will make its sophomore return in its old time slot (Mondays at 9:30) on Sept. 26. And newbie comedy “How to be a Gentleman” will premiere Sept. 29 after “The Big Bang Theory.”
