CBS has given series orders to dramas Training Day, a sequel to the movie; the Dr. Phil-inspired Bull, starring NCIS‘ Michael Weatherly, Jason Katims’ Pure Genius (fka Bunker Hill) and MacGyver, a reboot of the classic series. On the comedy side, the network has picked up the Matt LeBlanc starrer, now titled Man with a Plan and workplace half-hour The Great Indoors starring Joel McHale. Both are multi-camera as is the newly picked up Kevin James comedy Kevin Can Wait, meaning that renewed Life In Pieces will be the only single-camera comedy series on CBS next season.

Rumor is that CBS may not be done with pickups, and there could be a possible nod to one of Joan Rater and Tony Phelan’s early favorites Doubt or Drew. With its choices, CBS is relying heavily on known titles (Training Day, MacGyver) and proven TV stars (Michael Weatherly, Kevin James, Matt LeBlanc, Joel McHale).

I hear MacGyver will undergo retooling with all actors except star Lucas Till and co-star George Eads recast. The project faced numerous challenges, including multiple writer and director changes. (the final pilot script was written by Paul Downs Colaizzo and Brett Mahoney, with David Von Ancken stepping in for James Wan to direct). Colazzo and Mahoney will no longer be involved, with Hawaii Five-0 co-creator/exec producer Peter Lenkov coming on board as showrunner. Still, CBS brass continued to like the title, leading to the pickup, likely for midseason.

Michael Weatherly will make a seamless transition, hanging up his NCIS badge in the finale next Tuesd ay night before attending the CBS upfront presentation as the star of Bull — playing a character inspired by Dr. Phil — a few hours later.

Training Day, from Warner Bros. TV, is the only new CBS series not owned or co-owned by the network. WBTV has been on a roll with its movie titles this season, landing series pickups for all — Training Day, Lethal Weapon at Fox and Frequency at the CW. Its current CBS series Rush Hour is not likely to come back.

Medical drama Pure Genius, from Universal TV and CBS TV Studios, emerged as a favorite after strong testing, with the network’s freshman medical drama Code Black also looking hopeful for renewal.

Like the Kevin James comedy, the Matt LeBlanc sitcom, written on spec by Jeff & Jackie Filgo, was fronted by a big star and backed by a big penalty, making it a favorite. Its table read was attended by CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves.

Outside of the James and LeBlanc projects, The Great Indoors was the multi-camera pilot garnering the strongest buzz the last few weeks.
