CBS, which boasted the two most successful new dramas this season, is loading up more one-hour programming with five drama pickups as well as nods to two comedies. The drama selections range from David E. Kelley's small-town family drama The Brotherhood of Poland, N.H. and the modern-day Joan of Arc tale Joan of Arcadia to the law enforcement-themed Street Boss, The Unsolved and the untitled JAG spinoff. On the comedy side, the network is betting on two family sitcoms -- the Charlie Sheen starrer Two and a Half Men and The Stones. The veteran Ted Danson comedy Becker is understood to also be in contention for the fall schedule or a midseason backup. CBS will unveil its new lineup Wednesday. Two and a Half Men, from Warner Bros. TV, is expected to get the cushy post-Everybody Loves Raymond Monday 9:30 p.m. slot, with Still Standing moving to 8:30 p.m. and Yes, Dear anchoring the night at 8 p.m. (HR 5/12).
