And here I thought CBS was in a position to do something radical.
Sure, Big Bang Theory moves to the post-Two and a Half Men slot, and How I Met Your Mother returns to its old 8pm timeslot (where it never did as well as it has at 8:30pm...)
Sure, after one season after NCIS, The Mentalist is moved away and a compatible combination is broken up (will The Mentalist flourish on Thursdays at 10pm? Who knows... there's certainly less competition, though the CSI lead-in, at this point, will be questionable). Putting NCIS and NCIS2 together seems like a smart move... but with how well The Mentalist did, why not try NCIS2 at 10pm? How well The Good Wife can do out of these shows compared to how well The Mentalist certainly would have done in the mix is going to be at the forefront.
No Wednesday changes? Hm.
Survivor/CSI stay the course on Thursdays despite CSI's recent decline? In some ways, to move it could be too knee-jerk... but something more than sticking The Mentalist on at 10pm seemed in order.
Medium after Ghost Whisperer is the biggest no-brainer, so, while we have no idea if the ratings will pay off, it certainly seems like CBS did the right thing here.
Three Rivers on Sunday between relative-demo-factory The Amazing Race and ancient Cold Case. We'll see how that works out.

I think CBS dropped the ball on Wednesdays and Sundays.
Place Old Christine, Accidental.. and the two new Dramas on Sundays from 8-11
Put Cold Case on at 8pm on Wednesday to shore up that long, troubled slot and move CSI: NY to Tuesdays to help it out. and sandwich the NCIS spinoff between to solid veterans.
Hold TAR for Mid Season and use Wednesdays at 10 for Miami Trama.
