CBS may have created two of the most popular new series this season – NCIS: LA and The Good Wife – but the network still has some bare spots to contend with (we hardly knew ye, Three Rivers!) Not one to stray from its bread and butter shows, the network’s got a Criminal Minds spinoff in the works plus a new project from CSI honcho Carol Mendelsohn, but all eyes are on its redux of Hawaii Five-O starring Lost’s Daniel Dae Kim. And don’t think CBS is resting on its laurels with the (unfathomable) success of Gary, Unmarried and Rules of Engagement:  it has lots more multi-camera sitcoms in the works, including a promising new show about overeaters from Father Comedy, aka Chuck Lorre (Two and A Half Men, Big Bang Theory). Here are the network’s fall pilot orders, many of which are still being cast (decisions on which projects are ordered to series are typically made in the weeks leading up to CBS’s presentation to advertisers, which occurs this May in New York. And nope – it’s not likely every project will get a pickup. Not even you, Criminal Minds spinoff. OK, maybe you):
