Top-rated CBS was busy Friday, ordering new series for the 2016-17 season that includes reboots of Training Day and MacGyver; a drama inspired by the trial-consulting work of Dr. Phil that stars departing NCIS star Michael Weatherly; and a new comedy starring Friends' Matt LeBlanc.

The dramas are:

• Bull, which is inspired by the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw, who ran a trial consulting firm before becoming a successful TV host. Weatherly, whose final NCIS episode as Anthony DiNozzo airs Tuesday, plays Dr. Bull, "the ultimate puppet master" who combines psychology, intuition and high-tech data to figure out what makes juries tick, lawyers and witnesses tick, according to the show's description.

• Training Day, which picks up 15 years after the 2001 feature film of the same name. It follows an idealistic young police officer (Justin Cornwell) who is teamed with "a seasoned morally ambiguous detective" (Bill Paxton) on an elite LAPD squad. The film's director, Antoine Fuqua, is an executive producer, as is Jerry Bruckheimer.

• MacGyver, which is described as a reimagining of the earlier TV series. It follows a 20-something MacGyver (Lucas Till) "as he creates a clandestine organization where he uses his knack for solving problems in unconventional ways to help prevent disasters from happening."

CBS ordered another drama, Pure Genius, which is produced by Parenthood's Jason Katims, and two comedies, Man with a Plan, which features Friends' Matt LeBlanc as a contractor who begins spending more time with his kids, and The Great Indoors, which stars Community's Joel McHale as an adventure reporter who becomes the boss of a group of milllennials in the digital department at his magazine.
