The major networks are all premiering series this fall, but here is a look at the new shows CBS is debuting come mid-September. 

The Dramas: 

"Unforgettable:" A former police detective with a flawless memory, Carrie Wells (Poppy Montgomery), remembers everything that happens to her — except for one thing: she does not recall the details that would solve her sister’s murder. After consulting on a homicide case with her ex-boyfriend, Al Burns (Dylan Walsh), she decides to go back to work solving murders and, hopefully, will find her sister’s killer. "Unforgettable" premieres Tuesday, Sept. 20 at 10 p.m. 

"Person of Interest:"Reese (Jim Caviezel), a presumed-dead CIA agent, and Finch (Michael Emerson), a mysterious billionaire and software genius, team up to prevent violent crime with the help of Finch’s pattern recognition program. Reese and Finch work outside the law to find the person of interest and stop the crime before it happens. "Person of Interest" premieres Thursday, Sept. 22 at 9 p.m.

"A Gifted Man:" Michael Holt (Patrick Wilson) is a brilliant doctor whose luxurious life comes from serving wealthy patients. His dead wife Anna (Jennifer Ehle), a free-clinic doctor, comes to Michael in a vision and asks him to help keep her clinic running. Michael’s attitude changes as he grows more compassionate for the underprivileged, and he learns he can serve both the rich and the poor. "A Gifted Man" premieres Friday, Sept. 23 at 8 p.m. 

The Comedies: 

"2 Broke Girls:" Channel-styled, trust fund princess Caroline (Beth Behrs), whose family lost everything, is forced to take a job serving at a retro diner. Sassy, Brooklyn waitress Max (Kat Dennings) originally thinks Caroline is another dimwitted employee, but the unlikely pair eventually finds common ground. They want to open a cupcake shop with Max’s baking skills and Caroline’s business education, the only problem is the lack of start up money. "2 Broke Girls" premieres Monday, Sept. 19 at 8:30 p.m. 

"How To Be a Gentleman:" Etiquette columnist Andrew Carlson’s (David Hornsby) boss tells him to lose his devotion to the ideals of a more civilized time for a modern point of view. Andrew hires Bert Lansing (Kevin Dillon), a former bad boy and personal trainer, as a life coach, hoping Bert’s real man ways will rub off on him. "How To Be a Gentleman" premieres Thursday, Sept. 29 at 8:30 p.m.
