CBS' ‘Undercover Boss' to Debut After Super Bowl Feb. 7

CBS' latest reality entry Undercover Boss will get the plum
post-Super Bowl slot, Sunday Feb. 7.

Undercover Boss, which won high marks from marketers during the
network's upfront presentation last spring, has a corporate executive going
incognito to do the job of his employees. The show taps into the current
struggles of recession ravaged Americans but ultimately sounds a hopeful note,
as the newly humbled boss comes to truly appreciate his employees.

It is the first time that a new
show has launched behind the Super Bowl, which regularly gets the biggest
viewing audience of the year. Traditionally, networks slot a returning show
that could use a ratings boost behind the Super Bowl.

Boss' regular time slot will be Sundays at 9 p.m. It will move
there Feb. 14, after the premiere of the 16th season of The Amazing Race at 8 p.m. Cold Case will relocate back to Sundays
at 10 p.m. beginning Feb. 14.

Other midseason highlights include Survivor:Heroes vs. Villains,
a two-hour special that looks back at some of the show's memorable castaways,
Feb. 11 at 8 p.m. The 20th iteration of Survivor also will be preceded by a reunion special, Surviving Survivor, Feb. 4 at 8 p.m. It
will be produced by Susan Zirinsky's unit at CBS News.

Also included in the network's midseason announcement is
Jeff Probst and Mark Burnett's Live for
the Moment
, Jan. 28 at 8 p.m., about people who were inspired to change
their lives.

CBS still has multiple shows on the shelf including the
sitcom Rules of Engagement, Jerry
Bruckheimer's Miami Medical - which
is likely to bow later this season - and police dramas The Bridge and Flashpoint,
both of which are produced in partnership with Canadian broadcast CTV.
