Two of CBS’ midseason shows are sporting new titles. Rob Schneider’s new sitcom which was first titled iRob! has been simplified to Rob. CBS may still use an exclamation point for marketing reasons for the sitcom but it won’t be the show’s official title. The other midseason show switching its title is the cop drama that was called The 2-2 which will now be called NYC 22.

Due to financial reasons, the public television program Ebert Presents: At the Movies will go on hiatus at the end of this month. The movie review program was produced and primarily funded by Roger Ebert and his wife, Chaz Ebert and was a continuation of the Chicago Sun-Times film critic’s previous shows, Sneak Previews, At the Movies and Siskel & Ebert. The Eberts said in a blog post last week they could no longer finance the show and are presently looking for new sponsors. By the end of December the show, hosted by film critics Christy Lemire of the Associated Press and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of Mubi.com will have aired 50 episodes.
