Match the day to the table. "New" means CBS has named an episode for that slot; "Not listed" means The Futon Critic's CBS listings show nothing for the show that night.

Wednesday, Nov. 4 and Saturday, Nov. 7 have no show from our list. Check your local CBS listings for those nights.

Which CBS shows are new on Friday, Nov. 6?

CBS's release calls Friday, Nov. 6 a two-hour "Sheriff Country" and "Fire Country" crossover event, followed by Boston Blue at 10 p.m. ET/PT. Our crossover page has the watch order.

Why aren't Marshals and Tracker on Sunday, Nov. 8?

CBS's release for "Harper" lists a special airing of Cupertino on Sunday, Nov. 8 at 8:00 to 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, followed by two encore episodes. The Futon Critic's CBS listings show Cupertino in the 8, 9 and 10 p.m. hours that night and nothing for Marshals or Tracker. CBS's release doesn't say why Marshals and Tracker are off, so we don't give a reason. Both are listed new again on Sunday, Nov. 15. For other missing shows, see why isn't my show on tonight.

What time does CBS start its shows each night?

Most CBS dramas start on the hour. CBS's releases list a few one minute past: Eternally Yours at 8:31 p.m. and Elsbeth at 9:01 p.m. The release for FBI runs it from 8:00 to 9:01 p.m. ET/PT, so CIA starts a minute into the 9 p.m. hour. Elsbeth's Pacific time carries an asterisk in CBS's release, so West Coast viewers should check local listings. Local stations can also move network shows for regional sports or news. The season grid is on the CBS schedule page.

Frequently asked questions

Can I watch CBS shows the next day?

CBS's releases for these episodes say they stream live on Paramount+ (Premium) and next day. The Sheriff Country and Fire Country release says "streaming on Paramount+ (Premium) and next day" without the word live.

How do I know if a CBS episode is a repeat?

The Futon Critic marks repeats with (R). When a show has no listing for a night, the table says "Not listed" instead of guessing.
