Dec 19, 2013  •  Post A Comment

CBS has taken the wraps off plans for the series finale of a show that has been one of its most durable hits, and has announced how it will adjust its prime-time schedule on Monday nights to fill the void left by the show.

The show is "How I Met Your Mother," which is in its ninth and final season. CBS will wind it up with a one-hour series finale on Monday, March 31, at 8 p.m.

The series premiere of the new comedy "Friends with Better Lives" will follow at 9 p.m. That show will move to its regular 8:30 p.m. time slot the following Monday, April 7.

Starting April 14, the network’s new Monday comedy block will be led off by "2 Broke Girls" at 8 p.m.

"Friends with Better Lives" is about "six friends at different stages in their lives — married, divorced, newly engaged and single — who are outwardly happy, but secretly questioning if their friends have it better," CBS said in its announcement.
