This close-ended, investigative series centers around the brilliant Dr. Beaumont Rosewood Jr., the top private pathologist in all of Miami. As owner of one of the most sophisticated, state-of-the-art independent labs in the country, he finds the secrets in bodies that others usually miss. Despite being constantly surrounded by death Rosewood is obsessed with life and savors every moment. His eternal optimism will frustrate the cynical female detective he often works with, but she can’t argue with the results that his unique perspective provides.
Following the 2014-15 season that featured a whopping 16 scheduling moves, the Big Five kept things largely the same for the 2015-16 broadcast season.
With just five scheduling changes, status quo was the key word as Fox moved Sleepy Hollow to Thursdays and created a new Tuesday lineup with Scream Queens. ABC remains largely the same with Fresh Off the Boat moving back half-hour and getting the benefit of The Muppets as a lead-in. At CBS, CSI: Cyber takes over for the mothership on Sundays. Over on NBC, Undateable — now all live — will anchor its lone night of scripted comedy with the move to Friday. Rounding out the pack, The CW creates a night of comedy on Mondays with Crazy Ex-Girlfriend paired with Jane the Virgin, bumping The Vampire Diaries spinoff The Originals to Thursday where it’s paired with its mothership and sending Reign to Fridays. Formal premiere dates will be announced in the coming months.
