CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: Miami will launch their new seasons in the week beginning September 22.

The CBS network made the announcement Sunday during its portion of the Television Critics Association press tour, Zap2it reported. Only two CBS shows will debut outside that week: Survivor: Pearl Islands, set to premiere on the previous Thursday, September 18, and Becker, which will launch on Wednesday, October 1.

CSI: Miami is scheduled to debut on Monday, September 22, retaining the 10:00 p.m. timeslot from last season. The season premiere, reportedly entitled "Blood Brothers", is set to feature guest appearances by supermodel Heidi Klum, MTV VJ Quddus and Emmy-winning actor Chad Lowe (Once and Again).

The CSI spin-off will cap a night of comedy on CBS, starting with Yes, Dear and Still Standing in new timeslots at 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., respectively. Sitcom staple Everybody Loves Raymond will air at 9:00 p.m., followed by the freshman series Two and a Half Men at 9:30 p.m.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation will be back on the case from Thursday, September 25, with the season premiere, currently entitled "Assume Nothing", airing at 9:00 p.m. The fourth season debut is reportedly a two-part episode, with the conclusion likely to air a week later on October 2.

CBS's Thursday-night line-up is unchanged from last season's winning combination. Survivor: Pearl Islands will lead off at 8:00 p.m., followed by CSI at 9:00 p.m. and Without a Trace at 10:00 p.m.

The CSI-like JAG spin-off, Navy NCIS, is set to debut on Tuesday, September 23, while CSI executive producer Jerry Bruckheimer's new crime series, Cold Case, will launch on Sunday, September 28.
