CBS Renews Eight Series AP - April 6, 2000 NEW YORK (AP) -- CBS is renewing five of its dramas and three comedies for the 2000-2001 season, the network announced Thursday. Receiving full 24-episode orders are Monday comedies "Everybody Loves Raymond," "The King of Queens" and "Becker," as well as Tuesday dramas "JAG" and "Judging Amy." Also returning are veteran series "Touched By an Angel," "Nash Bridges" and, headed into its ninth season, "Walker, Texas Ranger." The CBS vote of confidence applies to just one freshman show, "Judging Amy," which emerged as the season's top-rated new drama. Among current series with their fate undecided is another freshman drama, the eerie, critically acclaimed "Now and Again." So far this season, CBS is in a near-tie with NBC for second place in household ratings, with ABC on top. The full 2000-01 schedule for CBS and other broadcast networks will be announced next month.
