It's that time of year where the networks have to make their big decisions for next year's TV season. CBS, however, has taken it to the next level.

Not only has the network announced one or two renewals at once, it's announced the fate of damn near its entire schedule.

The network has confirmed renewals for the following series (some of these shows had already been confirmed for renewal earlier in the season, such as How I Met Your Mother):

Elementary Survivor The Good Wife The Big Bang Theory Person of Interest 2 Broke Girls Mike & Molly How I Met Your Mother NCIS CSI: Crime Scene Investigation NCIS: Los Angeles Hawaii Five-0 The Mentalist Blue Bloods The Amazing Race Undercover Boss 60 Minutes 48 Hours

This leaves the fate of several on-the-bubble shows up in the air, such as beleaguered freshman dramas Golden Boy and Vegas, and long-running series like CSI: NY and Two and a Half Men. Perpetual underdog Rules of Engagement hasn't received the call yet either, though it's showed greater longevity than most pundits predicted it would, managing to last seven seasons so far. At least one of these series will probably still get a pickup, but CBS is still far from finished when it comes to lowering the cancellation ax.

Which of the on-the-bubble shows will get renewed? Did the network make the right choices for renewal? Sound off in the comments!
