No network goes into the pre-upfront week of decision-making with more already in place than CBS.


The vast majority of the No. 2 network's current series, at least the particularly successful ones and those owned by its sister studio, have already been renewed. That includes perennially dominant comedy The Big Bang Theory and impressive spinoff Young Sheldon. Among the network's newcomers for 2017-18, both SWAT and SEAL Team stood out as winners — though neither broke out the way 911 and The Good Doctor did for Fox and ABC, respectively.


If there's a problem area, it's Monday and everything on it. Returning comedies Kevin Can Wait and Man With a Plan inspire little excitement and have seen linear returns for the night dip these past two seasons. Occupants of the 9:30 p.m. slot are doomed, and the most recent season of aging drama Scorpion ensured that 10 o'clock didn't do much hotter.


CBS and its relatively limited open real estate are in an interesting position. The current brand of procedurals, nearly all of them top-lined by white men, works incredibly well — but the comparative lack of representation from minorities and women at the top of call sheets has caused PR problems. Pilot orders implied that the network is more invested than ever in mixing things up, so long as that mixing is packaged by familiar products like reboots of Magnum PI and Cagney and Lacey.


Whatever new schedule manifests come May 16, it will be the first one populated by orders from entertainment president Kelly Kahl. The network's longtime scheduling guru took the reins just after the 2017 upfronts.


RENEWED


The Big Bang Theory | In the second year of a two-season renewal, TV's No. 2 comedy in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic (behind only Roseanne) continues to be an important asset for the network.

ON THE BUBBLE/AWAITING WORD


Code Black | The medical drama created by Michael Seitzman starring Marcia Gay Harden shuffled its cast yet again for season three, with the network benching the co-production between CBS Television Studios and ABC Studios for midseason.


Criminal Minds | The veteran cop drama has become a posterchild for bubble shows finding a way to continue on. The series has weathered a number of cast changes over the years and could return for an impressive 14th season after showrunner Erica Messer recently extended her overall deal with co-producers ABC Studios.


Elementary | CBS' lowest-rated drama has been a cash cow for CBS Television Studios and has a lucrative syndication deal. But contracts for stars Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu are up after its current sixth season and CBS may need room for change on its schedule.


Kevin Can Wait | From Sony Pictures Television Studios, the Kevin James multicamera comedy made headlines at the start of season two after its decision to write out (and kill off) the character played by female lead Erinn Hayes. Hoping to capture ratings gold, James' former King of Queens star Leah Remini was promoted to series regular.


Life in Pieces | The family comedy from 20th Century Fox Television boasts an ensemble cast that includes Colin Hanks, Betsy Brandt, James Brolin and Dianne Wiest and has been a reliable performer. Sources have said a fourth-season renewal hinges on how CBS' comedy pilots come in as the network could opt to go with half-hours produced in-house.


Man With a Plan | The multicamera comedy starring Friends grad Matt LeBlanc has been a dependable player off the bench after its sophomore outing was held for midseason. CBS added eight additional episodes after the CBS Television Studios comedy was called into action earlier than anticipated.


Scorpion | The genius drama based inspired by computer expert Walter O'Brien finds itself in bubble territory for the first time after a run of series lows in its third season. Working in its favor is the fact that the genius drama starring Elyes Gabriel and Katharine McPhee is owned in-house at CBS Television Studios.


Superior Donuts | The multicamera comedy from CBS TV Studios stars Jermaine Fowler is based on the Tracy Letts play of the same name follows the relationship between a doughnut shop owner (Judd Hirsch) and his young employee (played by Fowler) and their patrons in a gentrifying neighborhood of Chicago. Like Man With a Plan, the series was held for midseason in its sophomore outing but became a solid pinch-hitter and went on to earn a full-season pickup.


Instinct | The rookie CIA drama starring Alan Cumming has the distinction of being broadcast's first hourlong series with a gay leading character. Held for midseason, the CBS TV Studios procedural from Michael Rauch has averaged a 1.4 in the adults 18-49 demographic on Sundays.


CANCELED


Living Biblically | Executive produced by Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki, the multicamera comedy from Warner Bros. Television was a favorite of former entertainment chief Glenn Geller and was based on the book The Year of Living Biblically. Starring Jay R. Ferguson, the comedy was pulled from CBS' Monday lineup after eight episodes and replaced by Big Bang repeats after its most recent episode notched a series low of 3.5 million total viewers.


Me, Myself and I | The critically panned Bobby Moynihan-led Boyhood-style single-camera comedy from Warner Bros. TV was bumped from its Monday home after six low-rated episodes. Seven additional episodes were produced and remain unaired (and unscheduled).


9JKL | The CBS TV Studios single-camera comedy inspired by the life of Mark Feuerstein and his TV-writer wife Dana Klein scored three additional episodes to its initial order for 13. It limped off the schedule in February and is not expected back.


Wisdom of the Crowd | Amid a CBS investigation into sexual assault around star Jeremy Piven, the network opted to let the rookie drama about a tech innovator who creates a crowdsourcing hub to help fight crime end after its initial 13-episode order. The series never performed and ranked as its least-watched show on Sundays. (Wisdom was also a co-production with Universal Television, so the network only had a sliver of ownership on it.)
