BREAKING. M-Net the big (and stable) winner as Elementary, NCIS: Los Angeles and a slew of other shows get further season orders.


Several TV shows such as Elementary, NCIS: Los Angeles, Person of Interest, The Mentalist, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly, The Good Wife, Blue Bloods and Hawaii Five-0 have been renewed for further seasons in America.

The fact that these shows are on M-Net in South Africa and on M-Net first, coupled with more of the same, keeps solidifying M-Net's premiere position in the country as the most stable of the broadcasters and with the most consistent schedule in the market consisting out of the SABC (with its three TV channels), e.tv and M-Net.

The CBS network announced that these shows will all see another season, with the previously announced renewals of The Big Bang Theory (renewed for 3 more years already), CSI and NCIS as well as How I Met Your Mother (seen on e.tv) for a final season.

CBS also announced that it is busy with negotiations with the cast for a possible renewal of Criminal Minds (seen on M-Net Series) and another season of Two and a Half Men.

The new drama series Vegas (which will start on M-Net in May) with Dennis Quaid has not (yet) been renewed, neither has Golden Boy (also M-Net).

The Amazing Race (seen first on Sony Entertainment Television as well as then SABC3) and Survivor (seen on SABC3) has also been renewed.
