The coronavirus pandemic has left networks scrambling to fill spots, and CBS has come up with a fun solution for when they run out of episodes on their Sunday slate: make a movie night!
God Friended, NCIS: Los Angeles and NCIS: New Orleans are the usual CBS Sunday night shows, but all three were forced to shut down production early, which means that by May there won’t be anything new the network can air.
But they CAN air old movies. And not any old movies, either, but the fun “I’ll probably watch that” kind of old movies, to boot.
“It’s a five-week programming event with epic films, iconic stars and brilliant stories that viewers love… and love to watch together,” Noriko Kelley, Executive VP of Program Planning and Scheduling for CBS Entertainment, explained in a statement.
Here’s the full schedule:
SUNDAY, MAY 3
8 pm Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark
SUNDAY, MAY 10
8 pm Forrest Gump
SUNDAY, MAY 17
8 pm Mission: Impossible
SUNDAY, MAY 24
7 pm Titanic
SUNDAY, MAY 31
8 pm Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
