CBS has renewed 18 well-performing series for the upcoming 2012-2013 season, including obvious candidates ‘The Big Bang Theory’ and ‘CSI,’ but there’s one noticeable exception: ‘Two and a Half Men.’

In total, four comedies, nine dramas, three reality series and two newsmagazines will return. In addition to ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ other laffers making another showing will be ‘How I Met Your Mother’ — which will enter its eighth season — ‘Mike & Molly,’ and raunchy rookie comedy ‘2 Broke Girls.’ CBS and Warner Bros. are said to be in ‘preliminary discussions’ regarding future seasons of ‘Two and a Half Men.’
