It’s been a while, but this week, CSI [CBS, Thursdays, 9/8C] brings back one of its all-time favorite recurring characters – Lady Heather. It’s an unusual episode because it looks into role playing as therapy, the concept of ‘human pets’ [not a fictional creation for the show] and cyber-bullying.
CHAOS [CBS, Fridays, 8/7C] is a spy dramedy that seeks to expand CBS’ number of procedurals and comedies. In that mix, it is, apparently, trying to duplicate the drama/humor mix that makes USA Network the most successful basic cable network. It’s a laudable attempt, but the comedy too often feels forced onto the procedural. When the two don’t overlap – which is seldom – each works just fine. It’s when the two are jammed together that things fall apart and chaos.

When I first heard that Criminal Minds was getting a spin-off, I was appalled. I remain baffled that a series that is so misogynistic could be so popular. If the screener for Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior [CBS, Wednesdays, 10/9C] is any indication, it is a better show – at least in terms of misogyny, or the lack of same.

CBS’ new sitcom, Mad Love [Mondays, 8:30/7:30C] has a sweet spot on the schedule, following as it does, How I Met Your Mother. Add Jason Biggs [American Pie Trilogy] and Sarah Chalke [Scrubs] and things are definitely looking good. Then, toss Tyler Labine [Reaper, Sons of Tucson] and Judy Greer [Arrested Development, Love & Other Drugs] into the mix and you have an inveterate cast of scene stealers – and a premise that gives them plenty of room to work.

Mad Love [Mondays, 8:30/7:30C] is a bit different from the usual CBS sitcom in that while it features Ben and Kate – a couple who are beginning a romantic relationship, the new, wonderful relationship comes at the expense of their respective best friends, Larry and Connie, who despise each other at first encounter.
I had the opportunity to take part in a conference call with Jason Biggs [Ben] and Sarah Chalke [Kate], who are very much in love with the show and happy to tell everyone why.
