Collins Parker,

Life In Pieces

It seems like each season we get a new sitcom to pair up with Big Bang Theory.

This year, CBS gives us Life in Pieces.

It is a family comedy, told in a different way.

Each week, they promise 4 short stories from the characters in this extended family.

Well, we’ll let them explain it.

Life in Pieces debuts on Monday Sept. 21st, at 8:30, right after Big Bang.

Betsy Brandt – Life In Pieces

"There is a really funny funeral scene in the pilot. I thought we were going to lose our minds shooting it and it was a ton of fun."

Stars Dish on This Seasons Shows

CBS got exclusive interviews with the stars of their fall lineup & asked them about the upcoming episodes.

Here is what we learned:

Criminal Minds
Thomas Gibson
"Aisha Tyler has joined the cast. She’s fantastic."
Seems typically terse for this series.

"We’re going to see Ted Danson!"
"What’s really great about him being on the show now is he’s going to help us out a lot more with our bioforensics."
