We knew CBS wasn't kidding around with its summer series after the commercial success of Stephen King's 'Under the Dome,' but the eye network's big buzzy sci-fi collaboration with Steven Spielberg just got a whole lot bigger. Halle Berry has signed on for her first regular TV role to lead the new astronaut drama 'Extant,' but what about the series will have audiences spinning?

The late-night landscape will look drastically different by this time next year, now that Jimmy Fallon will take over for Jay Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in early 2014, but some things will at least stay the same. Extending his own 2014 contract, David Letterman has re-signed to stick with CBS' 'Late Show with David Letterman' through at least 2015.

Before Bryan Cranston became so commonly identified as Walter White of 'Breaking Bad' or even Hal of 'Malcolm in the Middle,' you could find the actor somewhere across almost any TV series of the last 20 years. Case and point, Cranston's two-episode 'How I Met Your Mother' stint as Ted's boss Hammond Druthers, now announced to be returning for the ninth and final season!

With no signs of slowing down yet, 'The Big Bang Theory' continues its worldwide domination, as actor Jim Parsons tonight takes home the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series award at the 2013 Emmy Awards for his role as genius egghead Sheldon Cooper.

'How I Met Your Mother' will begin the final leg of its 9-season journey next Monday with hour-long premiere "The Locket / Coming Back," but that isn't stopping CBS from sharing the goods in advance of the long wedding weekend. Four new sneak peeks of the final season premiere have emerged, featuring a new friend for Marshall, a shocking revelation for Robin and Barney, and yes, another

We're just two weeks from the final 'How I Met Your Mother' premiere of "The Locket / Coming Back," and we're still not entirely sure how the long-running CBS comedy's final year will divide story between multiple timeframes over Barney and Robin's wedding weekend. Now, executive producer Carter Bays has come out to defend the decision to try "Something New," while a new promo

Even in light of the genius flowing through 'The Big Bang Theory,' this seems like a no-brainer. Following a highly publicized guest turn as Sheldon (Jim Parsons)'s childhood hero Professor Proton, legendary sitcom star Bob Newhart has been announced to return for season 7 in a recurring capacity, but will anything prove different about his return role?

Iconic cinema classic 'The Wizard of Oz' has spawned numerous TV attempts, everything from the Sci-Fi channel's 'Tin Man,' to Syfy's 'Warriors of Oz,' to a 'Game of Thrones'-style 'Red Brick Road' and even 'Once Upon A Time,' so what's next? Why, CBS medical drama 'Dorothy' of course! It makes perfect sense! Summon the TV-maker people, guys, we're serial!

Long in the tooth though it might be, CBS powerhouse 'Two and a Half Men' has just found its next (more chromosomally literal) half-man. After an extensive search for an actress to portray Charlie Harper (Sheen)'s long-lost lesbian daughter, former 'Joan of Arcadia' and 'House' star Amber Tamblyn has been selected to fill the recurring role when 'Two and a Half Men' season 11 picks up this fall.

Though critical reactions have run the gamut, there can be no denying that CBS struck it rich in adapting Stephen King's 'Under the Dome' for a summer series, whose ratings conclusively netted a second season.
