NBC Hits Reset, CBS Goes Younger for Fall TV Schedule

Deadline: After launching the No.1 highest-rated new series (“The Blacklist”) last season, NBC’s freshmen products stumbled this year. Only one first-year series, comedic crime drama “The Mysteries of Laura,” made it to a second season after an 11th hour reprieve. Not a single freshman comedy is coming back. CBS, long known for its often older-skewing procedurals, is going younger this fall. The network has picked up three series targeting the younger set, “Supergirl,” “Limitless” and “Rush Hour,” all toplined by actors in their 20s or early 30s.
