Matthew Gray Gubler's Einstein Delayed at CBS Until 2026-27 Season — Find Out Why
Matthew Gray Gubler won't be able to show off his big brain as CBS' Einstein for a while. The new crime procedural, which earned a series order at the Eye network last week, will now be held until the 2026-27 TV season, TVLine has learned. The reason? Too many shows in the pipeline at CBS.

NCIS: Origins' Mariel Molino Shares What Was Most Heartbreaking About Finale, Why She's 'Proud' of Final Shot As the schedule was being assembled, it was determined that limited shelf space created an opportunity for Einstein to benefit from a longer pre-production window, similar to other series greenlights in the past, according to a source. Einstein stars Gubler as Albert Einstein's 'brilliant but directionless' great-grandson Lewis, who 'spends his days as a comfortably tenured professor until his bad boy antics land him in trouble with the law and he is pressed into service helping a local police detective solve her most puzzling cases,' per the official logline. Rosa Salazar (Parenthood, Undone) co-stars as Veronica 'Ronni' Paris, a Detective Inspector for the New Jersey State Police 'who went into law enforcement after the death of her husband.' Based on the German dramedy of the same name, Einstein is being adapted by Monk creator Andy Breckman and executive producer/director Randy Zisk. Along with Einstein, CBS also picked up the FBI offshoot CIA (starring Lucifer's Tom Ellis) and the Harriet Dyer comedy DMV for next season. The network's full fall schedule will be unveiled on Wednesday, May 7. Best of TVLine Yellowjackets Mysteries: An Up-to-Date List of the Series' Biggest Questions (and Answers?)

St. Denis Medical Boss Reveals the ‘Bad Idea' He Was Convinced to Drop From the Season 1 Finale
St. Denis Medical has scrubbed out for the season, with a notably different ending than showrunner Eric Ledgin had initially planned. And he's totally cool with that. The NBC medical comedy closed out its freshman run on Tuesday night, with a literal perfect storm of circumstances at the hospital forcing Alex (Allison Tolman) to scurry back and forth between helping her fellow nurses and sitting by her husband's side for his imminent vasectomy on a different floor of the building. ('Ooh, a Mrs. Doubtfire situation. That always ends well,' Ron warned Alex of her attempt to be in both places.) More from TVLine The Voice's Season 27 Frontrunner Sparks a Heated Debate: Where Do You Stand On Her Unique Tone? Hacks Cast, EPs Name Their Dream Guest Stars - Who Do You Want to See Tango With Deborah? NCIS: Origins' Mariel Molino Shares What Was Most Heartbreaking About Finale, Why She's 'Proud' of Final Shot In a surprising move, the typically work-addicted Alex ultimately decided to put her job second, opting to let Serena run the overcrowded emergency room while Alex focused all of her attention on Tim's procedure. In early discussions about the finale, though, Ledgin planned for Alex to have second thoughts about Tim's vasectomy, leaving the door open for the couple to have another child — and Ledgin is now grateful he was persuaded to change that plot point. 'I have to give a lot of credit to our writers' room for talking me out of, in retrospect, an initial bad idea that I had, that involved her changing her mind about [the vasectomy],' Ledgin tells TVLine. 'If I have a redeeming quality as a showrunner, it's that I can change my mind if I'm convinced of a better idea, even if I'm really attached to something. And I kept pushing back against the room, and they convinced me that I was wrong. 'The story, as it ends now, is — to me — a way more realistic and satisfying and hopeful-for-Alex ending than if she had decided to do something that went against the character that we had established in the episodes leading up to it,' he continues. (In the previous episode, Alex and Tim had butted heads about the prospect of having another kid, with Alex firmly against the idea.) At the time that Ledgin and his fellow writers broke the Season 1 finale script, St. Denis Medical had yet to be renewed for Season 2, but he says there was little interest among the writing staff in leaving the show on any cliffhangers. Rather, 'the goal was to land something significant with Alex, who's our emotional way into this show,' he says. That included a pivotal conversation between Alex and Joyce (Wendi McLendon-Covey), wherein Joyce suggested that the St. Denis staff's lives revolve around their jobs — and known workaholic Alex was visibly uncomfortable with that sentiment, prompting her to prioritize Tim at the end of the episode. 'I went through a time in my life when I thought work was my purpose and the most important thing in my life. And then I had children, and it was challenging my ideas of who I thought I was,' Ledgin explains. 'Once I realized that, in a way, you have to choose, it wasn't even a close choice… my kids and my family would always come first. I felt like that was true of Alex, too, but it's sometimes hard to know that until you're pushed to think about it that way.' St. Denis Medical fans, what did you think of Tuesday's finale?

The Voice's Season 27 Frontrunner Sparks a Heated Debate: Where Do You Stand On Her Unique Tone?
One thing you've gotta say about The Voice's Lucia Flores-Wiseman: Nobody is on the fence about her. I was a fan from the first time I heard the 22-year-old, when her Blind Audition inspired her future coach Adam Levine as well as John Legend, Michael Bublé and Kelsea Ballerini to turn their chairs. A lotta viewers seemed to share my admiration for Flores-Wiseman, too. In fact, when I dared to give her Knockouts rendition of Benson Boone's 'Slow It Down' a grade of C- — largely owing to it having been absolutely the wrong song choice for her — boy, did I hear about it in the recap comments.

Grade NBC's Martha Stewart-José Andrés Cooking Competition But along the way, I've noticed that my fave has amassed a number of detractors, too. After what I thought what a gorgeous rendition of 'My Funny Valentine' in the Battles, one recap reader remarked, 'I had to go find video of [American Idol's] Melinda Doolittle singing that song just to get Lucia's tortured version out of my head.' The Voice's 20 Best Performances of All Time, Ranked: The Good, the Badass and the Downright Amazing View List Following Flores-Wiseman's flawless cover of The Beatles' 'In My Life' in the Playoffs — you can listen above — the backlash grew. 'If [she] ends up winning, I'm done watching the show,' grumbled one commenter. Another rattled off the names of four eliminated contestants that she felt were 'all far better singer/performers than Lucia. Can't believe Adam kept her.' I get it. Flores-Wiseman's voice may be an acquired taste. The word that always comes to my mind to describe her tone is 'tangy.' I dig it. (She kinda reminds me of Victoria Williams.) Some people don't. But I'm curious: How many of you are actually with me in rooting for her to win Season 27, and how many are more like, 'Thank you, next'?

Grey's Anatomy's Ellen Pompeo Sounds Off About the Recent Plot Twist That She Was ‘Deeply Against'
Can't say that I blame Ellen Pompeo for being 'deeply against' the Grey's Anatomy storyline in which legendary rule-breaker Meredith followed protocol to the letter upon learning that Catherine's protegé Evynn had lied about wife Tasha's Alzheimer's in order to obtain a liver transplant for her. But, as the actress tells our sister site Variety, 'I don't always have a say in the choices the character makes. And writers will initially service a plot before they might stop to think, 'Would the Meredith Grey that [Ellen] built… make that choice?'' Case in point: the Season 21 two-parter in question. (Read the recaps here and here.) 'My problem with that storyline,' Pompeo explains, 'was the Meredith Grey that I've created would have always been like, 'I'm pissed that you lied, [but] let's figure out how to game the system together to get you this f—king liver. F—k the system. The system is broken.'

She's done free surgeries, whatever it takes, to actually heal and help people.' According to Variety, the Grey's Anatomy OG 'was so livid that she had an emotional outburst.' Ultimately, guest star Lena Waithe, who played Evynn, adjusted Pompeo's POV, helping her see that the plot was serving Meredith's significant other, Nick. 'At the end of the day,' she says, 'Meg [Marinis], who's the showrunner, Debbie [Allen, the EP who plays Catherine] and Shonda [Rhimes, the series' creator] all recognize that all of my outspokenness about the creative on the show is all out of a place of caring deeply about the show. 'I see my job as trying to keep Shonda's legacy as good and solid as we can,' she continues, 'and the minute you stop caring or phoning it in or getting lazy, we're not really doing what we've been paid to do.'

NCIS Fans, What Do You Make of That Most Curious Cliffhanger Heading Into Next Week's Finale?
The following contains spoilers from the April 28 episode of CBS' . This week on NCIS, Special Agent Timothy Farragut McGee got his man. More from TVLine NCIS: Origins' Mariel Molino Shares What Was Most Heartbreaking About Finale, Why She's 'Proud' of Final Shot NCIS: Origins Bosses Talk Lala's Fate After Huge Finale Twist, Tease [Spoiler]'s Arrival - Grade Season 1 Cedric the Entertainer Talks Nixed Neighborhood Spinoff, Offers Update on Tracy Morgan Offshoot Crutch Or did he…? The episode 'Irreconcilable Differences' (a nod to the fake-but-real marriage Knight and Torres had to begrudgingly dissolve?) focused squarely on McGee (played by longest-running cast member Sean Murray) and the many late nights he is putting in, trying to get the goods on the highly sus Deputy Director LaRoche (Seamus Dever). Heck, overtired McGee was even having dreams of Gibbs' basement! And at once point called Parker by his former boss' name. McGee was about to rein himself in some and settle in for a night of cozy take-put with Delilah when he spotted LaRoche have a heated phone call in the parking lot, after which he switched cars en route to a third location. McGee tailed his superior and followed him into remote building, where he witnessed LaRoche squabble with an unseen man before shooting him at point blank range. After (d'oh!) knocking over a pipe and startling LaRoche, McGee chased his adversary outside, but lost him after being clipped/concussed by a passing truck. Parker and Torres did their best to believe McGee's accounting of events afterward, but given that no body was found, people started to wonder if this vendetta was starting to unravel the good agent. In fact, an IG showed up to grill McGee and was poised to bench him for a long while, when evidence began to come together incriminating LaRoche in a recent heist pulled off using U.S. Navy tech. McGee eventually caught LaRoche meeting with a second thief he didn't kill, inside a small church. When the gun-toting men ended up in a three-way standoff, LaRoche spun to shot the thief, but not before the man put a bullet in McGee's shoulder. Parker, Torres and Knight then funneled into the room, ordering aRoche to stand down. 'This wasn't supposed to be like this,' LaRoche said, raising his hands up. He then cued Knight to pluck some sort of data card from the dead thief's pocket, and declared, 'This is not about money. It never was. 'It's time you know the truth….' What 'truth' do you think LaRoche is about to offer up, to recontextualize and/or justify his suspicious actions up until now? Share your pre-finale theories in the comments! In next Monday's NCIS Season 22 finale, as the team investigates a dangerous connection between the Nexus cartel and Parker's longtime nemesis, mob boss Carla Marino (returning guest star Rebecca De Mornay), a high-stakes plot involving stolen nuclear material is uncovered. With time running out, Parker is forced into an uneasy alliance that could determine the fate of the operation — and his own futureBest of TVLine Mrs. Maisel Flash-Forward List: All of Season 5's Futuristic Easter Eggs Yellowjackets Recap: The Morning After Yellowjackets Recap: The First Supper
