Another Quickie (this one from CBS)

Editor's Note: For someone who uses the word 'quickie' a lot, you'd think I'd be having more fun?

ahem.....

No dweebing time to speak of today. (Actually doing some what-they-pay-me-for work at the office today....go figger).

CBS Sets Premieres for Week of Sept. 18
Reality Series Scheduled for Earlier Debuts
By Christopher Lisotta
Broadcaster CBS has set the week of Sept. 18 for 20 of its 22 fall series premieres, with two of its reality offerings debuting the week before.

Longtime reality veteran "Survivor: Cook Islands" will premiere on Thursday, Sept. 14, with CBS's other reality stalwart "The Amazing Race 10" moving to its new Sunday timeslot on Sept. 17 with a special 90-minute broadcast.

With only four debuting series and few schedule changes, CBS has one of the most stable fall lineups among the networks. CBS has claimed the top spot among all viewers for the last four seasons while struggling to gain ground among the 18- to 49-year-old viewers coveted by advertisers. The network last season was ranked third among that age group behind an "American Idol"-powered Fox and a resurgent ABC.

The rest of CBS's premiere schedule is listed below:
