Unlike NBC and The CW, who have opted to premiere the bulk of their new series before or later in the fall season, CBS is sticking with tradition and debuting nearly its entire fall lineup during official premiere week in late September, according to the schedule released Wednesday.

New comedy Partners is the first to bow on Monday, Sept. 24, followed by freshman dramas Vegas on Tuesday, Sept. 25, Elementary on Thursday, Sept. 27, and Made in Jersey on Friday, Sept. 28.

As in years past, Survivor will get a jump-start on the season, kicking off its Philippines edition with a special 90-minute premiere on Wednesday, Sept. 19.
