CBS is keeping Thursday nights packed with laughs as it sets its winter premiere schedule for 2025. On January 30, the network’s scripted lineup returns, headlined by Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage at 8 p.m., followed by fan-favorite Ghosts at 8:30. The night continues with Matlock at 9 p.m. and concludes with Elsbeth at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage Takes the Lead
After a strong debut in October, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage has quickly become a beloved addition to the Big Bang Theory universe. Starring Montana Jordan and Emily Osment, the spin-off explores Georgie and Mandy Cooper’s challenges as they navigate marriage, parenthood, and adult life in Texas.
This week’s episode will take on an emotional note as the Coopers prepare for their first Thanksgiving since the passing of George Cooper Sr. Georgie struggles to cope with the loss, while Mandy tries to bring the family together for the holiday. The series has already earned critical acclaim, securing a full-season order and solidifying its place as a CBS staple heading into the new year.
Ghosts Season 4 Keeps the Laughs Coming
The supernatural sitcom Ghosts returns stronger than ever in its fourth season, building on the tension left by last season’s cliffhanger involving Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones). With new characters like Mary Holland’s Puritanical ghost, Patience, and guest appearances by Dean Norris as Sam’s (Rose McIver) father, the Woodstone Manor has never been busier—or more chaotic.
As Sam and Jay (Utkarsh Ambudkar) struggle to manage their B&B, fans can look forward to more romantic developments and high-stakes stress that push the couple to their limits. The season promises a blend of humor and heart as the show continues to expand its ghostly ensemble.
Matlock and Elsbeth Round Out the Night
The Kathy Bates-led Matlock reboot has been a smash hit, pulling in over 10.67 million viewers within three days of its September premiere. With a fresh twist on the Andy Griffith classic, the series has already secured a second season renewal. Upcoming episodes will see Matlock grappling with the weight of her secret mission, questioning whether she can continue her work while keeping her colleagues in the dark.
Closing out the night, Elsbeth continues its vibrant second season, with Carrie Preston leading a quirky legal drama that has been praised for its humor and charm. This season features guest stars like Vanessa Williams, Rob Riggle, and Pamela Adlon, who will appear in the season’s fifth episode.
