The Second Season of "Unforgettable" Premieres Sunday, July 28, 9:00 PM

CBS announced today summer premiere dates for two original scripted dramas, a new alternative series and an expanded season of BIG BROTHER.

A new reality competition series based on the hit UK format "The Great British Bake Off," premieres Wednesday, May 29 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The series features skilled amateur Americans competing in baking challenges with one ultimately being crowned the winner.

UNDER THE DOME, a new 13-episode serialized drama based on Stephen King's best-selling novel and produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment, opens Monday, June 24 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT). HAWAII FIVE-0 will move to Friday (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) during the summer.

UNDER THE DOME is the story of a small town that is suddenly and inexplicably sealed off from the rest of the world by an enormous transparent dome. The town’s inhabitants must deal with surviving the post-apocalyptic conditions while searching for answers to what this barrier is, where it came from and if and when it will go away.

The summer reality hit BIG BROTHER will have a longer edition this summer, premiering two weeks earlier than previous years on Wednesday, June 26 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

BIG BROTHER will be broadcast three nights weekly — Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT, beginning July 2), the LIVE eviction show hosted by Julie Chen will be broadcast on Wednesdays (9:00-10:00 PM live ET/delayed PT, beginning July 3) and Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT, beginning June 30). The Wednesday live eviction show will move to 8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT on July 17 after the reality baking series completes its season order.

NCIS: LOS ANGELES will move to Tuesday (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) beginning July 2.

UNFORGETTABLE, starring Poppy Montgomery as a police detective with a rare condition that makes her memory so flawless that everything is embedded in her mind, and Dylan Walsh as her ex-boyfriend and partner, returns for its second season on Sunday, July 28 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT).

I think the CIS:NY series is ending this year, so that's where the available timeslot is most likely coming from. That show has been hanging by a thread the last few seasons.

Hopefully HF-0 will do well there, taking up CSI:NY's existing audience support.

[hawaiifive02012]

It'll move back in the fall though, right?

[katlyn520]

Actually, this could be a good move. It pairs it with Blue Bloods, which certainly is a better pairing than putting it with four comedies on Monday. I don't know what the ratings are for Blue Bloods but it's what I've thought all along, that it needed to be with a show that attracts a similar audience. I'd really love to see it in that slot between the two NCIS's but if it has to be moved for the summer, this works for me.

Awwwww mannnnnnnn *headdesk* I'm never home on Friday nights!!!!! I like Monday's so much more.

At least they'll be reruns by then...

[sunnyirish08]

blue bloods ratings are steady around the ten million mark. so might work, but god i hope they don't put it there permanently, one r two of my fav shows moved to friday and were gone after one season.

[cookiejar]

I think that is a good move to put it before Blue Bloods. I like that pairing.

Don't worry, cargumentluv, that's what Tivo & DVRing is for.

[davilarose]

Friday nights are good for me.....wouldn't mind a permanent move there.......but that's just me. I haven't had a date in over 29 years....been married too long. ;D And as a lead in to Blue Bloods--maybe it's a good thing.

[Musicfreak]

They're not new episodes, so I don't think it matters all that much. And as far as we know it's just for the summer. You might as well buy the DVD so you can watch them when you want, or watch the ones you may have recorded on your DVR already.

Not so sure Friday's would be the best for a permanent move (not that it's in talks for a move anyway). What a few have brought up before, and I continue to agree with, is the best spot (if H50 were to move at all) would be after NCIS: Los Angeles at the Tuesday night 10 pm time slot. The NCIS's are a much better lead in than the comedies on Monday night. Plus we wouldn't have to compete with Castle.

[runner]

You're right about Tuesdays, MF. That would be great if that happened.

That would be such a good move , it would make Tuesday even stronger for CBS

That's true, but I hope it doesn't stay on Fridays.

Yeah, I DVR it anyway but it's not as fun as watching it when it's actually on. That and I like getting in on the chat during the show......

[irishfan]

You're right Musicfreak....A move to Tuesday would be the best option if they really want to move it.
But as long as it's still on the schedule, I'll be happy
