CBS Stations Have Opportunity to Present the Special in Encore Showings On their Primary and Digital Channels and/or Websites Prior to Start of New Season

CBS FALL PREVIEW, a primetime special previewing CBS's new fall lineup, hosted by Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell, stars of the new drama series, THE DEFENDERS, will be broadcast Monday, Sept. 6 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. This CBS fall preview offering has been an annual tradition since 2004.

CBS FALL PREVIEW will feature sneak peeks of the five new additions to CBS's primetime schedule this fall: the drama series HAWAII FIVE-0, THE DEFENDERS and BLUE BLOODS and the comedy series $#*! MY DAD SAYS and MIKE & MOLLY. Hosts Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi will introduce the video previews for each new series with a fun mix of banter during what appears to be a wardrobe fitting for their Vegas lawyer characters, surrounded by bold suits and pinky rings galore.

Additional information about the new series follows:

HAWAII FIVE-0 is a contemporary take on the classic series about a new elite federalized task force whose mission is to wipe out the crime that washes up on the Islands' sun-drenched beaches.
