CBS is spreading out the premieres of its fall shows, flipping time periods and days over about a four-week period. You better keep the CBS fall premiere dates schedule below handy come September.
Not counting football, the limited series “Case Closed” kicks off the schedule on Sept. 18. The six-hour, three-night series re-examines the unsolved murder of JonBenét Ramsey 20 years ago.
