Thumbnail sketch with highlights of CBS' fall schedule.

NEW YORK, N.Y. - Some highlights of CBS' moves in its schedule for next season. WHAT'S NEW: Not too much. CBS has such a successful lineup — tops in total viewers and advertiser-favoured young adults this season — that it is bringing aboard just eight new series. But it is toying with the limited-series format that looks like broadcasting's flavour du jour next year. CBS' experiment: "Hostages" and Intelligence," which will get shorter consecutive runs in the 10 p.m. Eastern time slot on Mondays. WHAT'S GONE: "CSI: N.Y.," ''Vegas," ''Golden Boy" and "Rules of Engagement."
