CBS Orders Smallwood and Good Sam to Series

CBS has added one comedy Smallwood and one drama Good Sam to its fall TV lineup

Smallwood based on the real-life story of professional bowler Tom Smallwood, stars Pete Holmes, Chi McBride and Katie Lowes.
 The comedy follows a seemingly ordinary man who, after being laid off from his assembly line job at the GM factory, decides to provide for his family by pursuing his dream of becoming a pro bowler.

Good Sam meanwhile, stars Sophia Bush, Jason Isaacs, Edwin Hodge, Skye P. Marshall, Michael Stahl-David, Davi Santos, Omar Maskati and Wendy Crewson.

   The drama series is centered on a talented but stifled surgeon who steps into a leadership role after her renowned, pompous boss falls into a coma. When he awakens from his coma and looks to get back to work, “it falls to her to supervise this overbearing blowhard who never acknowledged her talents
 – and also happens to be her father.”

The comedy and drama, both produced by CBS Studios, join a number of other shows that CBS has already ordered to series for the 2021-2022 broadcast season:
