Big Bang Theory Anchors CBS Fall Schedule

CBS has released its schedule for the 2017-2018 Fall TV season. The network is preparing to fortify its Thursday night line-up next season with The Big Bang Theory kicking things off at 8pm and the recently picked-up spinoff Young Sheldon following at 8:30pm.

This new comedy block bows in late Fall following the conclusion of the five Thursday Night Football games. During that time, fans can catch The Big Bang Theory on Mondays at 8pm, with Young Sheldon set to debut a one-time preview on September 25th following its parent sitcom.

Both The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon will move to Thursday nights beginning November 2nd, kicking off the network's Thursday night comedy block.

Interestingly, CBS corporate chief Leslie Moonves says that Young Sheldon will be quite different in style from The Big Bang Theory. For one thing, the spinoff is a single-camera comedy. "Tonally, they are very different but they work," he says.

Here is CBS’ new fall lineup:
