Several familiar faces are coming to CBS in new fall comedies, including Damon Wayans Jr., Cedric the Entertainer and Candice Bergen. The network has three new fall comedies and you can get your first looks at each of them below.
HAPPY TOGETHER is about a 30-something married couple who want to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves. They accomplish this when Cooper, a young pop star, is drawn to their ordinary suburban lives and decies to move in with them. The cast includes Damon Wayans Jr. as Jake, Amber Stevens West as Claire, Felix Mallard as Cooper James, Stephnie Weir as Bonnie and Chris Parnell as Wayne.
HAPPY TOGETHER airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. this fall on CBS.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD stars Cedric the Entertainer as an opinionated neighbor in a comedy about what happens when the friendliest guy in the Midwest moves his family to a neighborhood in Los Angeles where not everyone looks like him or appreciates his extreme neighborliness. Max Greenfield stars as David Johnson, a family man who transplants his family from Michigan to L.A. They’re unfazed to learn that their new home is in a community very different from their old one. And then there’s Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer), who is wary of his new neighbors.

The cast also includes Sheaun McKinney as Malcolm, Tichina Arnold as Tina, Dreama Walker as Gemma, Marcel Spears as Marty and Hank Greenspan as Grover. THE NEIGHBORHOOD will air Mondays at 8:00 p.m. this fall on CBS.
Finally, MURPHY BROWN is coming back to CBS, with Candice Bergen once again in the titular role. This is a show updated for the world of the 24-hour cable new cycle, social media and “fake news”. “Amid a divided nation, chaotic national discourse and rampant attacks on the press, Murphy returns to the airwaves with her original FYI team: lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood, investigative journalist Frank Fontana and producer Miles Silverberg. Murphy’s son, Avery, shares his mother’s competitive spirit and quick wit, and has followed in her journalistic footsteps – perhaps too closely. Now back in the game, Murphy is determined to draw the line between good television and honest reporting, proving that the world needs Murphy Brown now more than ever.” The cast also includes Faith Ford as Corky Sherwood, Joe Regalbuto as Frank Fontana, Grant Shaud as Miles Silverberg, Jake McDorman as Avery, Tyne Daly as Phyllis and Nik Dodani as Pat Patel.
MURPHY BROWN will air Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. this fall on CBS (see CBS’ full fall schedule).
