With How I Met Your Mother coming to an end after next season, CBS will use the ratings strength of The Big Bang Theory and Two and a Half Men, splitting the pair as it launches a four-comedy block on Thursdays.

The first-place network used its annual upfronts morning press breakfast Thursday in New York to unveil its 2013-14 schedule, launching four new comedies and a drama in the fall. Greg Garcia‘s new Will Arnett comedy The Millers nabs the prime post-Big Bang Theory slot on Thursdays, followed by David E. Kelley‘s Robin Williams-Sarah Michelle Gellar vehicle The Crazy Ones, with Two and a Half Men moving to 9:30 p.m.
Meanwhile, the network will reinvent Mondays on the strength of the final season of How I Met Your Mother, plugging Tony Shalhoub vehicle We Are Men at 8:30 p.m. and Chuck Lorre‘s Mom at 9:30 p.m., with Hawaii Five-0 on the move to Fridays and Jerry Bruckheimer’s Toni Collette drama Hostages at 10 p.m.
