CBS Schedules New Sitcom 'Rules of Engagement', Moves 'Christine', Ends 'Class' Early and 'King' Ends With a Bang

Wow, long head-line today, isn't it? Anyway, CBS will be launching its new mid-season sitcom Rules of Engagement on Monday, February 5 at 9:30 p.m. airing in that slot until April. CBS will use the Super Bowl the previous night as a promotional platform for the new sitcom that is about different phases of the male/female relationship as seen through the eyes of a newly engaged couple, a long-married pair and a single guy. The show will star David Spade, Megyn Price and Patrick Warburton. This move will put The New Adventures of Old Christine on hiatus until March 12, where it will move to its new Monday at 8:30 p.m. slot for the rest of the season. The current slot occupant, the rookie sitcom The Class, will have its episode order completed after its March 5 airing. Rules will ends its run after the April 2 airing and thus veteran sitcom The King of Queens will return for its last batch of episodes airing at 9:30 p.m. That is a proper send-off for the sitcom ending its run after nine seasons.
Finally, this looks to be good moves, as 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. will be all new episodes of sitcoms from Jan-May. The question will remain, will The Class return next season? Right now, it doesn't look good, especially if Rules hits.
