As part of a year-round strategy of more original programming and fewer repeats, CBS announced today the season premiere dates of THE MENTALIST and UNDERCOVER BOSS. Both programs will bridge the time periods between the fall finales and the spring premieres of SURVIVOR and THE AMAZING RACE.

The seventh and final season of THE MENTALIST will premiere Sunday, Nov. 30 (9:30-10:30 PM, ET/9:00-10:00 PM, PT*), where it will air new episodes for five weeks through December. When THE GOOD WIFE returns on Sunday, Jan. 4 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), THE MENTALIST will shift to its regular Wednesday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time slot on Jan. 7. The series will conclude with a special two-hour finale on Wednesday, Feb. 18 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). MADAM SECRETARY will also return Sunday, Jan. 4 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

The sixth season of UNDERCOVER BOSS will begin with three special Sunday broadcasts, Dec. 14 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), and Dec. 21 and 28 (8:30-9:30 PM, ET/8:00-9:00 PM, PT*). On Jan. 2, it will move to its regular Friday (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) time period.

“One of the goals this season was to keep expanding our lineup of year-round, original programming and have fewer repeat cycles,” said Kelly Kahl, Senior Executive Vice President, CBS Primetime. “We’re fortunate to have two popular, proven ratings winners in THE MENTALIST and UNDERCOVER BOSS to seamlessly join our schedule.”

The ultimate “Survivor” will be revealed during its finale on Wednesday, Dec. 17 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). The two-hour episode will be followed by the one-hour live reunion show (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), hosted by Jeff Probst. The season finale of the multiple Emmy Award-winning THE AMAZING RACE, hosted by Phil Keoghan, will be broadcast Friday, Dec. 19 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT).

The spring cycles of SURVIVOR (30th edition) and THE AMAZING RACE will both premiere on Wednesday, Feb. 25, each with a special 90-minute episode, 8:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT and 9:30-11:00 PM, ET/PT, respectively.

    Wow. I fully expected TM to end up on Friday at 8/7 - good use of a bridge series to cover TGW/Survivor. With those two delayed CSI episodes - at least since it's running straight through, it will have originals as lead-in - though it's odd that CSI still gets pushed back and TM gets better slot.

    The McCarthys might be getting cancelled by next week or the week after while The Millers may not get the TBBT plum-slot. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Mom stays on Thursdays.

    After the Mentalist is over, I bet CSI will be the next veteran show on the chopping block.

    Or not. CBS earns more money on CSI than The Mentalist.

    Oh, TM being back so soon is a very pleasant surprise.

    And that has nothing to do with what he said.

    They don't have to keep the show in production to make that money. It's all existing syndication deal money. In fact, the show is so old and expensive to produce that their profit margin would probably be bigger if they stopped producing new episodes.

    This schedule is such a mess, so much going back and forth.


    But I am happy that at least TAR is getting two cycles this year. The only reality show I watch.

    I need help with the times. I live in the Mountain Time Zone so the times usually make no sense to me. What time is the Mentalist season premiere supposed to start in MST on the 30th?

    Glad now to know, when Mentalist starts, because I love the show and I'm little sad will be the final season.

  19. Bryan Champion5 November 2014 at 08:22

    This year I feel like they consider CSI as a filler, it's so sad after all these years... I think it's going to be renewed but season 16 is probably going to be the last one...

    This is the best news regarding The Mentalist in a while. I am so happy we will air before January ( still curious why they changed their mind) and we will get a 2 hours series final. I think the show deserves it and with the final eps on Wednesday I hope for good ratings so CBS will bite their asses for not giving it a 23 eps final season!!!

    I just realised I am not really ready to let my show go but I will deal with that later. Now it's time to be happy!!!

    And now back to voting for The Mentalist, Simon Baker and Robin Tunney as they are ALL nominated for the PCAs this year!!!

    SInce this is a post about return/premiere dates I think it's just because of the premiere dates of Undercover Boss on Jan. 2 and Amazing Race on Feb. 27. I hope so...
