CBS is doing some interesting things with its schedule next season, mixing in some single-camera comedies in with their traditional lineup of live audience, multi-cam sitcoms that have worked so well for them in recent years (The last time they tried a single-camera show was 'Worst Week' in 2008). On Monday nights, the ninth and final season of "How I Met Your Mother" will be followed by a new single-camera show, "We are Men", about four single guys living in a short-term apartment complex who unexpectedly find camaraderie over their many missteps in love. The show stars Chris Smith, Tony Shalhoub, Kal Penn, and Jerry O'Connell. Following "2 Broke Girls" at 9:30 will be "Mom", a more traditionally CBS sitcom from executive producer Chuck Lorre starring Anna Faris as a newly sober single mom raising two children in a world full of temptations and pitfalls. Multiple Emmy Award winner Allison Janney costars as her critical, estranged mother. ("Mike and Molly" is being held to midseason).

On Thursdays, CBS's comedy lineup expands to a two-hour block. The Big Bang Theory will be followed by "The Millers", a multi-cam sitcom starring Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles' life until his parents' marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. Greg Garcia ("Raising Hope", "My Name is Earl") is the executive producer of the series, and Emmy Award winner James Burrows directed the pilot.
"The Millers" will be followed at 9 PM by "The Crazy Ones". Academy Award winner Robin Williams returns to series television in a single-camera workplace comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired... if he weren't the boss. The series comes from Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner David E. Kelley ("Ally McBeal","The Practice"), and Emmy Award winner Jason Winer ("Modern Family")directed the pilot.

ABC has unveiled its fall schedule for 2013, with four new comedies joining the network. On Tuesday nights, the family comedy "The Goldbergs" starring Jeff Garlin and Wendi McClendon-Covey will air at 9 PM, followed by "Trophy Wife" from "Office" producers Lee Eisenberg & Gene Stupnitsky at 9:30. These shows will replace the cancelled "Happy Endings" and "Don't Trust the B----" from last season.

On Wednesdays, a new sitcom, "Back in the Game", will air between "The Middle" and "Modern Family" at 8:30. It deals with Terry Gannon Jr. (Maggie Lawson) who was an All Star softball player until life threw her a few curve balls -- a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband. After striking out on her own, Terry and her son, Danny (Griffin Gluck), move in with her estranged father, Terry Sr., aka "The Cannon" (James Caan). Following "Modern Family" at 9:30 will be "Super Fun Night", starring Rebel Wilson and produced by Conan O'Brien's Conaco Productions. Junior attorney Kimmie Boubier (Wilson) and her two best friends, Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira) and Marika (Lauren Ash), have had a standing date every Friday night for the last 13 years.

"The Neighbors" will be moving to 8:30 on Friday nights, following Tim Allen's "Last Man Standing" and replacing the departing "Malibu Country".

NBC and FOX both announced their fall schedules today, with both networks adding several new comedies to their schedules.

NBC decided to almost entirely overhaul their Thursday night line-up, inevitable with the departure of long-time flagship series like "30 Rock" and "The Office". Thursday night will now start off with the returning "Parks & Recreation" at 8 PM, followed by "Welcome to the Family", a new single-camera comedy about two teenagers having a baby. Parents Dan Yoder (Mike O'Malley) and wife Karina (Mary McCormack) find out on the day their daughter Molly (Ella Rae Peck) is graduating from high school with an acceptance to college that she is pregnant. Across town in East L.A., Junior Hernandez (Joseph Haro), in the middle of his high school valedictorian speech, gets a text from girlfriend Molly that he's going to be a daddy. Expectedly, Junior's parents Miguel (Ricardo Chavira) and Lisette (Justina Machado) are also upset, as they now have Caucasians in the family. What follows is a crash course in culture blending as Molly and Junior decide they want to get married and, in doing so, bring together two very different families.

At 9 PM is the multi-camera "Sean Saves the World", starring Sean Hayes as a divorced gay dad who juggles a lot - his successful but demanding career and boss (Thomas Lennon), offbeat employees, pushy mom Lorna (Linda Lavin) and weekends with his teenage daughter, Ellie (Sami Isler). The series comes from writer/executive producer Victor Fresco ("Andy Richter Controls the Universe", "Better Off Ted") and the pilot was directed by veteran sitcom director James Burrows ("Cheers", "Friends"). Finally at 9:30 is the new "Michael J. Fox Show", starring Fox in a role loosely based on his own life. One of New York's most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox, "Spin City," "Family Ties"), put his career on hold to spend more time with his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. But five years later, with the kids busy growing up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get back to work.

Two other comedies, "The Family Guide", starring Parker Posey and J. K. Simmons, and the movie spin-off "About a Boy", from producer Jason Katims ("Parenthood", "Friday Night Lights"), will join NBC's schedule in midseason.

Meanwhile, at FOX, two new male-oriented comedies will join the Tuesday night schedule, from 8 to 9 PM, before returning series "New Girl" at 9 and "The Mindy Project" at 9:30 PM. "Dads" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" are the two new comedies joining the Tuesday night comedy block this fall. "Dads", the new live-action, multi-camera comedy from Emmy Award winner Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild ("Ted," "Family Guy"), stars Emmy Award winner Seth Green and Emmy Award nominee Giovanni Ribisi as two successful gaming entrepreneurs - and childhood best friends - whose lives get turned upside down when their pain-in-the-neck patriarchs (Martin Mull and Peter Riegert) move in.

From Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur ("Parks and Recreation") and starring Emmy Award winners Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is a new single-camera workplace comedy about what happens when a hotshot detective (Samberg) gets a new captain (Braugher) with a lot to prove.

New Army-set sibling comedy "Enlisted" premieres later in the fall, along with returning comedy "Raising Hope", and 3 other comedies, "Surviving Jack" (based on best-selling author Justin Halpern's autobiographical book, "I Suck at Girls"), "Us & Them" (based on the popular UK series "Gavin & Stacey"), and the animated "Murder Police", will air at midseason.

Down on his luck in love and life, having recently lost his job and girlfriend, 30-year-old Tom Chadwick has an unsure sense of his own identity. But when he inherits a mysterious box, Tom starts investigating his lineage and uncovers a world of unusual stories and characters, acquiring a growing sense of who he and his entire family are. "Family Tree" kicks off its eight-episode season Sunday, May 12th (10:30-11:00 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO, followed by other episodes subsequent Sundays at the same time. Written and created by Christopher Guest & Jim Piddock, the new comedy series is a single-camera, documentary-style show in the manner of Guest's acclaimed feature films (such as "Best in Show," "Waiting for Guffman" and "A Mighty Wind"). Chris O'Dowd ("Bridesmaids") stars as Tom Chadwick in the HBO presentation, along with Tom Bennett and Nina Conti. The series also features appearances by Bob Balaban, Ed Begley, Jr., Christopher Guest, Don Lake, Michael McKean, Jim Piddock, Kevin Pollak, Meera Syal, Ashley Walters and Fred Willard.

IFC is bringing comedian and podcaster Marc Maron to the small screen this spring with a new ten episode scripted comedy series titled Maron. Based on Marc's life and successful WTF podcast (www.wtfpod.com), each half hour episode chronicles Marc's day-to-day struggle to maintain relationships other than the ones with his podcast audience and his beloved trio of cats. Maron premieres Friday, May 3rd at 10:00pm ET/PT on IFC. Marc stars as himself, and joining him is Judd Hirsch (Ordinary People, Damages, This Must Be the Place) as his father, Nora Zehetner (Mad Men, Grey's Anatomy) as his girlfriend, Andy Kindler (Bob's Burgers, Everybody Loves Raymond) as his loyal friend and Josh Brener (The Internship, Silicon Valley) as Marc's assistant.

"Inside Amy Schumer" is a new Comedy Central series featuring Schumer's provocative and hilariously wicked mind, as she explores topics revolving around sex, relationships, and the general clusterf*ck that is life through a series of scripted vignettes, stand-up comedy, and man-on-the-street interviews.

"Inside Amy Schumer" premieres tonight at 10:30/9:30c and is executive produced by Schumer, Daniel Powell and Jessi Klein.

Chris Hardwick is set to host an untitled show that will begin airing Monday-Thursday at 12am following The Colbert Report this fall, Deadline reports. Funny or Die will produce alongside Hardwick's own company, Nerdist Industries. The State and Reno 911! alumni Tom Lennon and Ben Garant will serve as showrunners and executive producers on the series. It's described as "a comedic panel show that will have a heavy social-media presence integrated throughout." Hardwick's series will face off directly with TBS's new late night show, a post-Conan series hosted by Pete Holmes that launches in July.

The Hardwick series is Comedy Central's first-ever nightly 12am show. Last year, they produced a pilot for one called "Nightcap", hosted by Paul F. Tompkins, which they didn't order to series.

Jen Kirkman wrote a book, and today is the first day you can buy and own it. Go do that, so that you can read it! In I Can Barely Take Care of Myself, you will find the same brutal honesty and self-deprecation that made Jen's albums "Self Help" and "Hail To The Freaks" so disarmingly hilarious. In fact, this is less a contrarian thesis on procreation than it is a classic comedian memoir with a specific point. Whereas Dr. Cosby wrote about parenting and made us laugh, Jen writes about the decision not to parent and achieves the same effect.

Oh, and while we're on the subject, now is a great time to catch Jen live, since she'll be all over the place in the next few months. For more on that, hit her calendar. Meanwhile, the book is available everywhere books are sold -- use this link for a list of them.

Comedy Central announced today that they've ordered 12 episodes of "Brody Stevens: Enjoy It", a documentary series centered around the titular stand-up comedian, following him in the wake of a public mental breakdown. "Brody Stevens: Enjoy It" was a six-episode digital series for HBO, but Comedy Central has acquired the rights. Comedy Central will expand those six 15-minute episodes to a half-hour each and produce six new half-hour episodes. Stevens's longtime friend Zach Galifianakis will executive produce the show, with Dean Fleischer-Camp (Marcel the Shell) directing. Comedy Central also today launched a new digital series called Push and Believe, in which Brody Stevens interviews and motivates comedians prior to their Comedy Central The Half-Hour specials.

Louis CK's fourth hour-long special for cable, "Oh My God", premieres on HBO tonight at 10 PM. (His previous two specials, "Live at the Beacon Theater" and "WORD", are available only on his website, and "Oh My God" will reportedly be available for $5 there soon as well).

The material deals with divorce ("the best thing that's ever happened to me", according to Louis), aging (describing how getting up out of a chair for him now resembles "trying to get an old Honda out of a snowbank"), and man's primal urges, including the impulse to feel a woman's breasts. Although I have not yet seen the finished special, when I saw Louis perform live back in November of last year, the set finished with a bit called "Of Course....But Maybe", where Louis gets to express some of his darkest musings. "That is a whole bunch of horrible thoughts right in a row", Louis says at one point.

Louis' FX series "Louie" reportedly will return in May 2014.

While probably not worthy of front page treatment on this site, "Scary Movie 5", which opens in theaters today, is notable for nothing else but for the fact that David Zucker and Pat Proft are credited with writing the screenplay. While there's no telling how many drafts the script went through, or how much influence director Malcolm Lee ("Undercover Brother") had on the final product, one only has to look at Zucker and Proft's IMDB profiles to see the number of funny movies they both have been involved with.

The movie, which was mostly shot in 2012 but went back for reshoots this past February which allowed them to incorporate more timely spoofs like "Mama" and the "Evil Dead" remake, replaces main cast member Anna Faris (pregnant at the time of filming) with "High School Musical"'s Ashley Tisdale, and Regina Hall seemingly replaced by ex-"Mad TV" cast member Erica Ash. The reshoots brought in more comedic actors like SNL's Darrell Hammond and "Modern Family"'s Sarah Hyland (seen above). Hopefully some of this post-production tinkering helped make the movie a bit funnier, but at least we have a possible "Naked Gun" reboot to look forward to if this movie doesn't pan out.

This is cool and exciting: Sarah Silverman is taping her HBO special in May, and wants to make sure the audience is packed with real comedy fans. That's where you guys come in. Here's the deal:
