As with ABC yesterday, CBS is next out of the gate with the announcement of its Fall TV premiere dates. As with other networks, CBS has some shows we’re looking forward to seeing again as well as some new ones we might check out.

Some of the ones we’re glad to see back include NCIS, The Good Wife and, of course, The Big Bang Theory. And, as Lost‘s Terry O’Quinn is joining the cast, we’re going to have to give Hawaii Five-O another look as well.

New shows that look interesting include 2 Broke Girls and Person of Interest, although we don’t hold out all that much hope for either. Here’s all the premiere dates (all times are Eastern/Pacific):

Wednesday, Sept. 14

8:00-9:00 PM SURVIVOR: SOUTH PACIFIC (23rd edition premiere)

Monday, Sept. 19

8:00-8:30 PM HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (7th season premiere)

8:30-9:00 PM HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER (S)

9:00-9:30 PM TWO AND A HALF MEN (9th season premiere)

In the world of TV being on a show that goes longer than one season is often a surprise and a wonderful way to make a living if you can get it. So we can imagine what Johnny Galecki, co-star of The Big Bang Theory, must be feeling having been on the hit series Rosanne for many years and now getting word that his current hit show will be renewed for three more seasons.

CBS made the announcement today and this renewal means the show will be on the network through the 2013-14 season. This doesn’t come as that much of a surprise considering how well the show does in the ratings. In addition, the network has a lot riding on the show considering it recently made a $2 Million per episode syndication deal. So, they really need it to last and obviously are willing to make the commitment to help it do just that.

Obviously, we’re thrilled here at the site because we really enjoy the show and the antics of the cast. Looking forward to watching this one for at least three more years.

Click through for the full press release from CBS. If you haven’t had a chance to check out Big Bang, you should. I airs on CBS Thursday nights at 8/7C.

The newest film from the Coen brothers, A Serious Man, has just hit the internet with it’s first trailer, and it’s already got lots of folks excited. Set in the 1960s, A Serious Man is the story of a man’s life unraveling after his wife decides to leave him because of his deadbeat brother.

Several sources are calling this “trailer of the year” and I’d have to agree. While I don’t quite know what to make of this movie yet, the trailer is edited put together quite well, and we hope that the film will follow in style and innovation.

Written, directed, and produced by Joel and Ethan Coen, the sibling team behind Raising Arizona and No Country for Old Men, the film stars Michael Stuhlbarg (Body of Lies), Simon Helberg (Big Bang Theory), Richard Kind (Spin City), and Adam Arkin (Life).

A Serious Man hits theaters October 9th and you can check out the trailer right after the jump.
