Fall TV 2013: 'Hostages' and 'Intelligence' - CBS drama snap judgments

15 May 2013 7:12 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

There's no network cockier than CBS during upfront week, and with good reason. Sure, they had to cancel last season's newbies "Vegas," "Golden Boy" "Made in Jersey" and "Partners," but their schedule is so stable -- and dominant in the ratings -- that they never have many holes to fill.

They've only ordered three dramas for the 2013-14 season and just one is on the fall schedule. That's limited series "Hostages" which will air 15 episodes uninterrupted and then turn over its Monday night timeslot to another new drama -- "Intelligence" -- in the winter.

Here's a rundown of the two new dramas CBS presented to advertisers at its 2013 upfront on May 15 at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

"Hostages" (Mondays at 10 p.m. Et)

It's an interesting play: a heavily serialized thriller set for a limited cable-style run of 15 episodes that still looks and feels like a CBS procedural. Put another way, »

Meme: Stephen Amell Considers "Fifty Shades of Grey," Dave Franco and Zac Efron Are Frat Brothers, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson Is "Hot In Cleveland"

23 March 2013 9:01 PM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

While we keep hearing that no one has been cast in Fifty Shades of Grey, Arrow's Stephen Amell says that he's actually taken a meeting about playing Christian Grey, which makes sense, as he's shown over and over and over again, he has no problem with a little nudity.

Zach Wahl's Scouts for Equality released details of the Boy Scouts of America's 2012 Fall Voice of the Scouts Survey, and of respondents that expressed an opinion of declining loyalty to Scouting, 90% said the reaffirmation of their discriminatory policy was the reason.

In the UK, 20 year-old Jordan Sheard was sentenced to 3.5 years for crashing an 18-year-old autistic gay man's birthday party, writing homophobic slurs on his body, dousing him in tanning oil and setting him on fire, which led to his death. Seriously?

Please take time to meet Jack Andraka, who is 16, out, and a cancer researcher at John's Hopkins when »

Check Out the People's Choice Nominations Before the Show Tonight!

9 January 2013 5:30 AM, PST | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »

The 2013 People's Choice Awards are tonight, which means we'll be treated to a star-studded event (and, of course, a few acceptance speeches). Be sure to tune in to watch us live from the red carpet at 4:30 p.m. Pst, but first, get prepped for the show by checking out all of this year's nominees. Adam Levine got attention not only for Maroon 5, but also for his work as a celebrity judge on The Voice (next year, he could be a triple threat with American Horror Story: Asylum). Meanwhile, the year of Channing Tatum continues, as the actor scooped up five nominations, including favorite movie actor. It looks like superheroes and fantasy heroes are going to steal the show as well: The Avengers, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Snow White and the Huntsman are showing up all over this list, as well as TV shows like The Vampire Diaries and Once Upon a Time. »
