CBS eyes big renewals for 'Men,' 'Bang'Network considering ordering multiple seasons of bothMarch 3, 2009, 12:51 AM ET
"Men" is being eyed for three seasons. "Bang" is near a deal for two seasons -- a terrific show of faith to a comedy considered a slow starter just last year. At a time when most broadcast shows are struggling, such a heavy commitment is unusual but, in the case of these two hits, not exactly a surprise. Both are produced by Warner Bros. and co-created by Chuck Lorre, "Bang" airs at 8 p.m. Mondaysand has kept setting new series-high numbers in the ratings this season, with dominant "Men" in the catbird seat of 9 p.m. There's been some discussion about whether the lineup might change in the fall given that a recent pairing of the two resulted in "Bang" retaining an extremely large amount of "Men" viewers.
