CBS is attempting to create two big nights of comedy by shifting an old hit and a new one: Two and a Half Men and 2 Broke Girls. Men will move from Mondays to Thursdays, running at 8:30 p.m. right after ratings darling The Big Bang Theory at 8 p.m. 2 Broke Girls will become part of the Monday comedy block, which will kick off with How I Met Your Mother at 8 p.m., followed by the brand-new bromance with David Krumholtz, Partners, at 8:30 p.m., which will lead to 2 Broke Girls at 9 p.m. and finally Mike & Molly at 9:30 p.m. One other big move, this time with a drama: CSI: NY will move to Fridays at 8 p.m. The complete schedule is below, and more analysis will follow later today.
