After suffering a humiliating defeat with freshman comedy 'We Are Men,' CBS has taken a big leap forward with its other fall 2013 efforts. The network has given full-season orders to the Robin Williams- and Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring 'The Crazy Ones,' as well as Anna Faris-Chuck Lorre comedy 'Mom,' and the oft-maligned Will Arnett vehicle 'The Millers,' each of which rank as the most-watched new comedies of the season.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's wildly successful stint hosting the 2013 Golden Globe awards led to all manner of speculation that the pair might be tasked to host other ceremonies, but why mess with success, really?

The late-night landscape will look drastically different by this time next year, now that Jimmy Fallon will take over for Jay Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in early 2014, but some things will at least stay the same.

We're just two weeks from the final 'How I Met Your Mother' premiere of "The Locket / Coming Back," and we're still not entirely sure how the long-running CBS comedy's final year will divide story between multiple timeframes over Barney and Robin's wedding weekend. Now, executive producer Carter Bays has come out to defend the decision to try "Something New," while a new promo for the season reveals even more of the long-awaited mother!
For as many answers as 'How I Met Your Mother' creators Carter Bays and Craig Thomas deliver of the upcoming ninth and final season, it seems only more questions arise.

The 'How I Met Your Mother' execs step up to the plate!
Even in light of the genius flowing through 'The Big Bang Theory,' this seems like a no-brainer.
