BREAKING UPFRONTS NEWS: CBS Keeps 'Mother,' Moves 'Trace'

CBS stepped up to the podium today on Day 3 of Network Upfronts week and made some minor tweaks to its successful formula. The network added two comedies and three dramas and moved favorites Without a Trace (to Tuesdays at 10 p.m.) and The Unit (to Sundays at 10 p.m.). PTR fave Cold Case remained in tact with its usual Sunday night slot (and DVR shuffle as we battle another season of NFL overruns). The best news of the day, though, comedy How I Met Your Mother will be back for a fourth season. Freshman drama Moonlight was not as fortunate as it did not pick up a renewal. Here's a closer look at CBS's fall schedule:
