Along with such Tuesday night staples as "NCIS," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "House," the networks will be premiering five new series this night.
"Cane" stars JIMMY SMITS in an epic drama about the external rivalries and internal power struggles of a large Cuban-American family running an immensely successful rum and sugar business in South Florida. When the Duque family patriarch, Pancho (HECTOR ELIZONDO, "Chicago Hope"), is offered a lucrative but questionable deal by his bitter adversary, the Samuels, to purchase thousands of acres of sugar fields, he's faced with a tough choice: Should he cash out of the sugar business and focus solely on rum, which would please his impulsive natural son, Frank (NESTOR CARBONELL, "Lost"), or protect the family legacy that he built from the ground up by not selling, and side with his adopted son, Alex (Smits), who mistrusts the Samuels and still sees value in sugar. Alex and Frank's approach to business is as different as their approach to life.

"Cane" is scheduled for 10 p.m. on CBS.
