CBS 2017-2018 Comedy Shows
CBS has picked up 4 Comedy shows for the 2017-2018 season.
'Young Sheldon'
A 'Big Bang Theory' spinoff following the life of the preteen Sheldon Cooper (Iain Arimtage, 'Big Little Lies') growing up in Texas. 'Young Sheldon' looks back on the early life of Sheldon Cooper before the events of 'The Big Bang Theory', when he was simply a nine-year-old genius living with his family in East Texas. Sheldon skips fourth grade and heads directly to high school, much to his siblings’ chagrin. The cast also includes Zoe Perry ('Scandal') as Sheldon's mother, Lance Barber as his dad and Raegan Revord and Montana Jordan as his siblings.
'9JKL'
Mark Feuerstein created and stars in this show in which he plays a guy living in the New York apartment where he grew up - with his parents (Linda Lavin and Elliott Gould) in the apartment on one side and his brother and sister-in-law (David Walton, Liza Lapira) and their baby on the other.
'By the Book'
Based on A.J. Jacobs' book 'The Year of Living Biblically,' it stars Jay R. Ferguson ('The Real O'Neals,' 'Mad Men') as a man who decides to live strictly by biblical rules, which turns out to be harder than he anticipates.
'Me, Myself & I'
The single-camera show tracks the life of one man over 50 years: as a teenager in the early '90s, a 40-year-old in the present (Bobby Moynihan) and as a 65-year-old in 2042 (John Larroquette). Dan Kopelman ('Galavant,' 'Malcolm in the Middle') created it.
