CBS Announces Midseason January 2022 Schedule

CBS today announced premiere dates for new and returning midseason CBS Original programming, including the new drama GOOD SAM and returning favorites THE AMAZING RACE, UNDERCOVER BOSS, CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER and SURVIVOR.

“Good Sam,” starring Sophia Bush and Jason Isaacs, premieres Wednesday, Jan. 5 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), after CSI: VEGAS completes its planned 10-episode first season. “Good Sam” is about Dr. Sam Griffith (Bush), a gifted heart surgeon who excels in her new leadership role as chief of surgery after her renowned boss, Dr. Rob “Griff” Griffith (Isaacs), falls into a coma. When Dr. Griffith wakes up months later, demanding to resume his duties, Sam is tasked with supervising this egotistical expert with a scalpel who never acknowledged her stellar talent. Complicating matters, this caustic and arrogant boss also happens to be her father. As Griff defies Sam’s authority and challenges her medical expertise, the big question becomes whether this father and daughter will ever be able to mend their own relationship as expertly as they heal the hearts of their patients.

“The Amazing Race” makes its eagerly anticipated return with a special two-hour premiere on Wednesday, Jan. 5 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) with Emmy Award-nominated host Phil Keoghan. During the 33^rd season, teams of two once again embark on a trek around the world, hoping to be the first to arrive at the final destination, winning “The Amazing Race” and the $1 million prize.
