Mark Harmon stars in "NCIS."

CBS traditionally waits until the official start of the television season (i.e., the week following the Emmy awards broadcast) to roll out its season premieres.  This time around is no different.

The only pre-season launch on the network will be the premiere of “Survivor: Samoa,” due to strike on Thursday, Sept. 17.

“NCIS” returns on Tuesday, Sept. 22 along with the debut of its spinoff “NCIS: Los Angeles” and new series “The Good Wife.”   “CSI” is back on Sept. 24,  and for the 2009-2010 season it has been paired with “The Mentalist” on Thursday nights.

Lastly, new seasons of “Ghost Whisperer” and “NUMB3RS”  will be joined by the season premiere (and network debut) of “Medium” on Sept. 25.
