CBS Renews 18 Shows – But What's Missing?

One day after ordering three more seasons of The Big Bang Theory, CBS has given early renewals to 18 more shows for the 2014-2015 season.
Fall TV Scorecard: What's renewed? What's canceled?
The nine dramas picked up are NCIS, NCIS: Los Angeles, Person of Interest, CSI, Hawaii Five-0, Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds, Elementary and The Good Wife. The comedies that were given renewals are 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, Two and a Half Men, and freshman comedies The Millers and Mom.
But not every show made the cut. Conspicuously absent from the list was The Mentalist, which has struggled in the ratings and earlier this season wrapped up its series-long Red John story line. Also failing to earn an early renewal was The Crazy Ones, the freshman comedy starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar as a father-daughter advertising team. Final decisions about those show's futures will be made by the network's upfront presentations in May.
The network also announced renewals for the reality shows Undercover Boss and The Amazing Race, as well as 60 Minutes and 48 Hours. (Survivor's renewal had been announced previously.)
What are your thoughts on the news? Are you disappointed The Crazy Ones and The Mentalist weren't picked up (yet)?

CBS ANNOUNCES RENEWALS FOR 18 PRIMETIME SHOWS FOR NEXT SEASON
Combined With Two Previously Announced Renewals, Network Has Now Picked Up 20 Returning Series for 2014-2015
Returning Series Will Include the #1 Drama, #1 Comedy, #1 New Comedy and #1 News Program
CBS, America’s most-watched network, today announced pick-ups for 18 series for next season. Combined with its previously announced pick-ups, CBS has now renewed 20 returning series for the 2014-2015 season, encompassing 17 hours of primetime programming.
“The best way to launch new shows in the fall and throughout the season is to surround them with a strong and stable lineup of successful series,” said Nina Tassler, Chairman of CBS Entertainment. “The shows we’re picking up today cut across every night of the week and feature genre leaders, time-period winners and the most-watched shows on broadcast television.”
The 18 series renewed today comprise 15.5 hours of CBS’s weekly primetime schedule and include nine dramas, five comedies, two reality series and two news programs.
The nine dramas picked up are: NCIS, television’s #1 drama/scripted program for the fifth consecutive year; NCIS: LOS ANGELES, the #2 drama for the fourth straight year; time-period winners Person Of Interest, CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, Hawaii Five-0 and Blue Bloods; as well as Criminal Minds, Elementary and the acclaimed drama THE Good Wife.
The renewed comedies are 2 Broke Girls, THE MILLERS, which is the #1 freshman comedy of the 2013-2014 season, MIKE & MOLLY, MOM and the long-running hit Two and a Half Men.
In alternative programming, the Network announced pick-ups for its Emmy Award-winning reality series THE Amazing Race and Undercover Boss.
Finally, in news, CBS will return 60 Minutes, television’s #1 news program for more than four decades, and 48 HOURS, Saturday’s #1 non-sports program.
In addition to these 18 series, CBS yesterday announced a three-year broadcast deal for The Big Bang Theory. Previously, the Network announced two more editions of the reality series SURVIVOR for next season.

I think we all figured this was going to happen after hearing that PLs contract had been extended by CBS for 2 years.........but it is good to have it be official!

Good news for H5O, and every other CBS show I watch.
Isn't this relatively early for an announcement for H5O? I seem to remember having to wait longer previous years....

I would like to also point out that Season 5 we will have the 100th episode of the series. WhoHoo!!!
That should be interesting and fun to watch. When the cast/crew finish episode 22 that will bring all the
episodes up to 93. I am DEFINITELY looking forward to Season 5.

My retirement present is to fly to Oahu for Sunset on the Beach and 10 days of fun in the sun! Congratulations to Peter Lenkov and the entire team on earning a 5th season!
