AceShowbiz - While NBC and FOX have released their fall 2015 line-ups, CBS has just announced renewals for 15 shows. They include dramas "The Good Wife", "NCIS: Naval Criminal Investigative Service" and its spin-off "NCIS: Los Angeles", "Criminal Minds", "Hawaii Five-0", "Elementary", "Blue Bloods", "Person of Interest" and "CSI: Cyber".
Rookie comedy "The Odd Couple" also makes the cut. In the unscripted department, "Survivor", "The Amazing Race" and "Undercover Boss" as well as newsmagazines "60 Minutes" and "48 Hours" will return for a new season each.
Absent from the list is "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation". It was recently reported that CBS was mulling options to end the long-running crime drama series. The network is said to be considering to make a two-hour movie or do a shortened final season with six episodes only.
CBS has previously renewed another "NCIS" spin-off "NCIS: New Orleans", "Scorpion", "Madam Secretary", "The Big Bang Theory", "Mike & Molly", "Mom" and "2 Broke Girls". The network also picked up "Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders" along with "Rush Hour" and "Limitless" TV adaptations among other new titles to series.
"Battle Creek" and "Stalker", meanwhile, were among the shows which got the axe.
