CBS Midseason Schedule: True Lies Reboot, RuPaul Game Show Lingo Set Premieres; The Equalizer Return TBD

.....CBS is the fourth broadcast network to reveal its midseason schedule (following ABC, Fox and NBC), which features the RuPaul-hosted game show Lingo and a series reboot of James Cameron’s 1994 action-comedy True Lies.

The “supercharged adaptation” of Lingo — a word-based game show that last aired Stateside in the early 2000s on Game Show Network — will arrive Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 9/8c, where it will be sandwiched between new episodes of The Price Is Right at Night and Tough as Nails Season 4.

Come March, the Wednesday night lineup will see the return of Survivor (entering its 44th season) and the aforementioned True Lies, which swaps Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis for Steve Howey (Shameless) and Ginger Gonzaga (She-Hulk: Attorney at Law). The remake will get a special Thursday showcase on Feb. 23, airing behind new episodes of TV’s top-rated comedies Young Sheldon and Ghosts, before it makes its Wednesdays-at-10 pm debut on March 1.

As previously reported, the Eye network will stage the first-ever, three-way crossover between NCIS, NCIS: Hawai’i and NCIS: Los Angeles on Monday, Jan. 2; a special episode of freshman hit Fire Country will follow the AFC Championship Game on Sunday, Jan. 29; and the 65th annual Grammy Awards will air Sunday, Feb. 5.

Missing from the midseason roster is the winter premiere of The Equalizer. A network insider tells TVLine that a return date will be announced at a later time.

Thank you for the heads-up; time to mark up the calendar!

I don't think they could possibly come close to the True Lies movie with any series by the same name.

I'm of the same mind, and that was my first thought when first hearing this would be a series.

The movie was terrific, some of Jamie's best work, in my mind.

I've never been a fan, well there was that bit in Trading Places, but she's far to full of herself, always on, and I don't think her talents support that.

It's even more obvious when seeing her visiting chat shows.

True Lies was really good and a lot of fun, and it's difficult to imagine capturing that spirit again.

But I'll give the show a chance, because there's a lot of stuff I don't like, and finding something I do is always fun.

I am that Masked Man.

All you can do, is all you can do.

There’s trouble — it's time to play the sound of my people.

Your boos mean nothing to me, I've seen what you cheer for.

Insisting on your rights without acknowledging your responsibilities isn’t freedom, it’s adolescence.

I've been to the edge of the map, and there be monsters.

We are a government of laws, not men.

Everybody counts or nobody counts.

When a good man is hurt,
all who would be called good
must suffer with him.

You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead.

There is no safety for honest men except
by believing all possible evil of evil men.

We don’t do focus groups. They just ensure that you don’t offend anyone, and produce bland inoffensive products. —Sir Jonathan Ive

An armed society is a polite society.
And hope is a lousy defense.

You make me pull, I'll put you down.

I *love* SIGs. It's Glocks I hate.
