SWAT, SEAL Team, Instinct, Wisdom of the Crowd Dramas & 2 Comedies Picked Up at CBS!!

I don't know when, exactly, I became a CBS watcher, but I'd be lying if I didn't admit three of these pickups were the ones I'd been most waiting to hear about. 

CBS announced this afternoon that favorites Shemar Moore, David Boreanaz, Alan Cumming and Jeremy Piven among so many others are coming to roost at the network. It's going to be delightful!

They're taking advantage of the recent military trend, bringing both of their well-received pilots on board. That's very exciting news, indeed! Check out the info on all four dramas and two comedies, below.
