CBS sets a two-hour Chuck Lorre comedy block with The United States of Al's addition to Thursdays

Deadline

Starting April 1, Lorre's comedy about the friendship between an Afghanistan War combat veteran and his interpreter will join CBS' Thursday lineup at 9:30 p.m., replacing The Unicorn. That means Lorre will have four shows on Thursday nights, including Young Sheldon, B Positive and Mom. According to Deadline, "this is believed to be the first time a comedy writer-producer has controlled an entire two-hour block of half-hour programming on one network."
