LOS ANGELES (AP) - Prime-time leader CBS is tweaking its schedule to bring midseason shows aboard.

Joining the CBS lineup is spinoff series "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior," which will debut Feb. 16. Other newcomers are the comedy "Mad Love," debuting Feb. 21, and the spy drama "Chaos" starting April 1.

As part of the shuffle, the Tom Selleck police drama "Blue Bloods" will move to 10 p.m. ET Wednesday for four weeks beginning Jan. 19, then return to its 10 p.m. ET Friday home in February.

"Rules of Engagement," now airing Monday, will pair with sitcom sibling "The Big Bang Theory" on Thursday at 8:30 p.m. ET starting Feb. 24. It's replacing "(Bleep) My Dad Says" with William Shatner, which will wrap for the season.

"The Defenders," starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell, will end its season run with a shift to 8 p.m. ET Friday starting Feb. 4. CBS didn't announce whether it or the Shatner comedy will be renewed for next year.
