Three days later, the old standbys of the network, “COPS” and “America’s Most Wanted” return to anchor Saturday nights yet again on September 12th.

Arguably the best night of television on the network returns on Thursday, September 17th with the fifth season premiere of “Bones” followed by the second season premiere of “Fringe”.

The network’s most beloved Fall show, “House,” returns on Monday, September 21st with a two-hour premiere. Read our comprehensive review of the season-six 2009 “House” premiere here. The next week, September 28th, “House” will be its standard one-hour length and “Lie To Me” will premiere its second season.

The controversial “Dollhouse,” surprisingly renewed in favor of “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,” will return on Friday, September 25th, following the one-hour premiere of “Brothers”. “Brothers” will shrink to its standard half-hour form the next week and “‘Til Death” will join the nightly lineup with its premiere on October 2nd.

The Sunday night lineup starts on September 27th with the series premiere of “The Cleveland Show” and season premieres of “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” and “American Dad”.

ok so i just read the

ok so i just read the 2009-2010 fall lineup of CBS and they had their schedule on there but no premiere dates. When do they usually announce premiere dates? Do they announce the premiere dates in a press release seperatly in a couple months? I just thought when they came out with the lineups that they would have the premiere dates with them! I just want to make sure that i dont miss any of my favorite shows!
