Hi all, I'm a lifelong fan of NCIS, at least until S11. Tony, Kate, Timmy, Jimmy, Ducky, Abby, Jenny, Ziva, Mike Franks, Vance, Fornell, Gibbs, and the other characters in those years. Many memorable moments.
Does anyone know what happened to Fornell? I.e. why he was only in S17 E8?
Hope to see him at least one more time.

Additional new series will be announced at a later date. For 2019-2020, the Network finished #1 for the 12th straight season, winning 17 of the past 18 seasons.
The two new shows for fall include the comedy B POSITIVE, from award-winning executive producer, writer and creator Chuck Lorre and Marco Pennette, starring Emmy Award nominee Thomas Middleditch and Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford, and the drama THE EQUALIZER, starring Academy Award nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah.

In addition, CBS will broadcast SUPER BOWL LV on Feb. 7, 2021.
“We’re excited to come off another season as America’s Most Watched Network and, despite the obvious challenges around us, put together another winning lineup,” said Kelly Kahl, President, CBS Entertainment. “Next season, we’ll have five breakout returning freshman series and three compelling new shows placed into a schedule with the incredible stability for which CBS is so well known. Couple that with our broadcast of SUPER BOWL LV next February, and CBS is simply loaded with a lineup that will clearly appeal to both our advertising partners and our loyal viewers.”
CBS’ new fall schedule features perennial strength and stability, plus big new show additions on Thursday and Sunday.
MONDAYS – Monday’s lineup returns intact. The one-hour comedy block of THE NEIGHBORHOOD followed by #1 new comedy BOB ♥ ABISHOLA opens the night from 8:00-9:00 PM, where both shows rank among the top comedies on television, with larger audiences than every comedy on all other networks. At 9:00 PM, one of the top-rated freshman dramas on television ALL RISE returns starring Simone Missick, followed by BULL, Monday’s #1 entertainment program, at 10:00 PM, averaging over 10.5 million viewers.
TUESDAYS – Tuesday’s dominant lineup remains intact, with the three returning dramas delivering +13 million viewers for the night. NCIS, the #1 series on television that averages over 15.33 million viewers, opens the night at 8:00 PM when it returns for its 18th season.

WEDNESDAYS – Wednesday’s solid schedule adds more reality and adventure. SURVIVOR hosted by Jeff Probst, again starts off the night at 8:00 PM, where it was watched this season by nearly 10 million viewers and is CBS’ #1 broadcast in key demos. At 9:00 PM, a fall edition of the multiple Emmy Award-winning THE AMAZING RACE hosted by Phil Keoghan begins another trek around the world. Then at 10:00 PM, the fourth season of military drama SEAL TEAM, starring David Boreanaz, returns to close out the night.
THURSDAYS – Thursday’s schedule adds one new notable comedy. YOUNG SHELDON, television’s #1 comedy, again anchors the night and is the lead-in for the new comedy B POSITIVE at 8:30 PM. Next, at 9:00 PM is television’s #2 comedy MOM, starring Anna Faris and Emmy and Academy Award winner Allison Janney, followed by the #2 new comedy, THE UNICORN, starring Walton Goggins at 9:30 PM.

MACGYVER opens the night at 8:00 PM, leading into MAGNUM P.I. at 9:00 PM. Television’s #3 drama BLUE BLOODS returns at 10:00 PM, to cap one of television’s strongest nights.
SATURDAYS – CBS’ Saturday night lineup features CRIMETIME SATURDAY, encore broadcasts of the Network’s popular dramas at 8:00 PM and 9:00 PM, followed by the law and justice program 48 HOURS, Saturday’s #1 non-sports primetime series, at 10:00 PM.
SUNDAYS – CBS’ winning night adds a new high-profile drama. 60 MINUTES, television’s acclaimed #1 news program, returns for its 53rd season at 7:00 PM, providing a dominant lead-in for the new drama THE EQUALIZER, a reimagining of the classic series, at 8:00 PM. Next, the two most-watched entertainment programs on Sunday air back to back: NCIS: LOS ANGELES at 9:00 PM, followed by NCIS: NEW ORLEANS at 10:00 PM.
THE NEW FALL COMEDY:
B POSITIVE (Thursday, 8:30-9:00 PM)
B POSITIVE is from award-winning executive producer, writer and creator Chuck Lorre and Marco Pennette, and stars Emmy Award nominee Thomas Middleditch (“Silicon Valley”) and Tony Award winner Annaleigh Ashford (“Masters of Sex”). The comedy revolves around Drew (Middleditch), a therapist and newly divorced dad who is faced with finding a kidney donor when he runs into Gina (Ashford), a rough-around-the-edges woman from his past who volunteers her own. Together, they form an unlikely and life-affirming friendship as they begin a journey that will forever impact both of their lives. Chuck Lorre and Marco Pennette are executive producers for Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. James Burrows directed the pilot from a script by Pennette.
B POSITIVE stars Thomas Middleditch as Drew, Annaleigh Ashford as Gina, Kether Donohue as Leanne, Sara Rue as Julia and Kamryn Kunody as Maddie.
THE NEW FALL DRAMA:
THE EQUALIZER (Sunday, 8:00-9:00 PM)
THE EQUALIZER is a reimagining of the classic series starring Academy Award nominee and multi-hyphenate Queen Latifah (“Chicago,” “Bessie”) as Robyn McCall, an enigmatic woman with a mysterious background who uses her extensive skills to help those with nowhere else to turn. McCall presents to most as an average single mom who is quietly raising her teenage daughter. But to a trusted few, she is The Equalizer – an anonymous guardian angel and defender of the downtrodden, who’s also dogged in her pursuit of personal redemption. Andrew Marlowe, Terri Miller, Dana Owens (Queen Latifah), John Davis, John Fox, Debra Martin Chase, Richard Lindheim (co-creator of the original “Equalizer” TV series that ran on CBS for four seasons), Shakim Compere and Liz Friedlander (pilot only) are executive producers for Universal Television, a division of NBCUniversal Content Studios, in association with CBS Television Studios. Friedlander will direct the pilot episode from a script by Marlowe and Miller.
THE EQUALIZER stars Queen Latifah as Robyn McCall, Chris Noth as William Bishop, Lorraine Toussaint as Viola “Aunt Vi” Lascombe, Tory Kittles as Marcus Dante, Liza Lapira as Melody Zhao and Laya DeLeon Hayes as Delilah.
NEW DRAMA FOR MID-SEASON:
CLARICE, from acclaimed executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Jenny Lumet, and starring Rebecca Breeds (“Pretty Little Liars”) in the title role, is a deep dive into the untold personal story of FBI Agent Clarice Starling as she returns to the field in 1993, six months after the events of “The Silence of the Lambs.” Brilliant and vulnerable, Clarice’s bravery gives her an inner light that draws monsters and madmen to her. However, her complex psychological makeup that comes from a challenging childhood empowers her to begin to find her voice while working in a man’s world, as well as escape the family secrets that have haunted her throughout her life. Alex Kurtzman, Jenny Lumet, Elizabeth J.B. Klaviter and Heather Kadin are executive producers for MGM Television and CBS Television Studios in association with Secret Hideout. Aaron Baiers is a co-executive producer. Maja Vrvilo will direct the pilot episode from a script by Lumet and Kurtzman.
CLARICE stars Rebecca Breeds as Clarice Starling, Kal Penn as Emin Grigoriyan, Nick Sandow as Murray Clarke, Lucca de Oliveira as Tomas Esquivel, Michael Cudlitz as Paul Krendler and Devyn A. Tyler as Ardelia Mapp.

I loved the original The Equalizer and am a fan of both Queen L and Chris Noth so I’ll give it a try.
Clarise (so): although Silence of the Lambs was well-loved it creeped me out so only watched it once. That said what happened to her after that case sounds interesting so I’ll give this one a try too.

I just have one question: when and where is CBS planning to film all of their upcoming fall schedule programs?
either they know something the rest of the world doesn’t - or they are extremely optimistic...
just sayin...

nas Not just CBS. All of them. The traditional Fall schedule will likely be delayed or there will be creative filming and editing. Movies like The Parent Trap - both versions - filmed whole movies with a lot of split screen. The show The Good Wife did it when the lead and another actress couldn’t work together. Even NCIS did it when Mark and Pauley couldn’t get their acts together for the Abby farewell. A couple of weeks ago ALL RISE did an entire social distancing episode with everyone filming themselves or filmed by someone sheltering with them (did own hair & makeup and costuming). It’s not really viable in the long run for most shows but it could be a workaround for a while.

yep, this is true, NewBe...
so, unless these studios declare that this country is “open for business as usual” there is not going to be a “Fall season lineup” for shows - returning or new...
extremely wishful thinking on their part, imho...

nas Perhaps they could film in Wisconsin where the stay at home order was found unconstitutional. Get ready for NCIS:Milwaukee!

I hate to sound like a “negative nellie”, NewBe, but the Realist in me says those production methods will prove problematic...
I don’t know what the actual numbers are for the NCIS team, e.g. writers, cameramen, makeup artists, costume designers, etc., etc., etc... dozens? hundreds? but that show, and the other returning and new shows on the Fall schedule, cannot operate like the late night talk shows [are doing] with family members behind the camera and actors delivering their parts via Zoom...
like you said, it’s just not really viable - not even for a little while...
so, unless something changes drastically in the next few months, these studios can talk all they want about their wonderful upcoming shows - it just ain’t gonna’ happen... 😕
and like I said - - it’s wishful thinking and pie-eyed optimism...

nas If you didn't notice, there were absolutely no dates whatsoever within that press release. So my suspicion is that CBS is being optimistic that filming might start up in July or even in late June, depending on California's restrictions. Which would allow them to premiere in the Fall. NCIS has at least two scripts that are ready to go, so they would not have to wait for the writers to do their work. Episode 21 was already cast, and props and sets had been built. Episode 22 was also already written and they had begun prep work for that episode too.
Now if that's not the case, and filming is pushed back, they'll change their tune for sure. But it looks like from this press release, they're hedging their bets that they'll be able to get back to work sooner than not.I don’t know what the actual numbers are for the NCIS team, e.g. writers, cameramen, makeup artists, costume designers, etc., etc., etc... dozens? hundreds? but that show, and the other returning and new shows on the Fall schedule, cannot operate like the late night talk shows [are doing] with family members behind the camera and actors delivering their parts via Zoom...
Sean said on either his twitter or instagram that there are 300 people in the cast and crew on NCIS. Not all 300 need to be in the same place at the same time, of course. But you're right, it could be an issue for people to keep their distance.
Did you see the episode of All Rise that was filmed remotely by the actors using zoom and their cell phones? It was an entire episode done through the characters video chatting with each other and they ran a trial through zoom. It was actually a really good episode that was interspersed with commentary by a 'radio DJ' talking about the social distancing. And it ended with the characters having a party that was intercut with videos of the crew and their families dancing to music from the DJ (which was voiced by one of the actor's husband.)
