New comedy "Mad Love," dramas "Chaos" and "Criminal Minds" spinoff round out network's midseason schedule.
CBS will shift Tom Selleck drama Blue Bloods to the higher profile Wednesday at 10 p.m. time slot for four weeks in January and give new romantic comedy Mad Love the post-How I Met Your Mother slot beginning February.
The announcement comes as the network firms up its midseason schedule.
Blue Bloods, which is averaging more than 12 million viewers on Friday nights, will begin its tryout Jan. 19 displacing The Defenders, which will move to Fridays at 8 p.m. effective Feb. 4. Previously announced Live to Dance, with Paula Abdul will get the 8 p.m. Wednesday slot beginning Jan. 5.
The Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior will fill Blue Bloods slot after it concludes its four-week run.
Mad Love bows Monday, Feb. 21 at 8:30 p.m. Meanwhile, Rules of Engagement which currently airs on Mondays, will move to Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. beginning Feb. 24 in the slot now occupied by $#*! My Dad Says, which would have completed its season order.
