COMING THIS FALL: Top-rated CBS refuses to rest on its success

CBS will finish the 2012-13 broadcast season as the No. 1 network in viewers, which is par for the course over the past decade, but CBS is also expected to be No. 1 in the 18-49 age demo, which hasn’t happened since the 1991-92 TV season.

Success does not breed complacency at the Tiffany Network, which will add a quartet of new comedies this fall, including a two-hour comedy block with Robin Williams on Thursday that will go up against an NBC comedy block.
