Here is a look at Week #10! ABC ABC has a mix of their regular lineup and specials/repeats, as is often the case with December. Dancing with the Stars has ended so Monday has the annual CMA Country Christmas special leading into The Good Doctor , which will air without a Dancing lead-in for the first time. After a full slate of repeats on Tuesday, Wednesday is all new while Thursday has classic special A Charlie Brown Christmas . On Friday is the two hour premiere of Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It won't do well by any means, but I don't think it will be a worse option than Once Upon a Time or Marvel's Inhumans . MONDAY 8:00 CMA Country Christmas (Special) 10:00 The Good Doctor TUESDAY 8:00 The Middle (Repeat) 8:30 Fresh Off the Boat (Repeat) 9:00 Black-ish (Repeat) 9:30 The Mayor (Repeat) 10:00 Kevin (Probably) Saves the World (Repeat) WEDNESDAY 8:00 The Goldbergs 8:30 Speechless 9:00 Modern Family 9:30 American Housewife 10:00 Designated Surviv...

Here is a look at Week #9! It is Thanksgiving week which means lots of specials. ABC ABC has the finale of Dancing with the Stars on Tuesday. It has been an OK season for Dancing and this show doesn't pop much for finales anymore. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday are littered with repeats and specials. MONDAY 8:00 Dancing with the Stars 10:00 The Good Doctor TUESDAY 8:00 The Middle 8:30 Fresh Off the Boat 9:00 Dancing with the Stars (25th Edition Finale) WEDNESDAY 8:00 A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (Special) 9:00 Modern Family (Repeat) 9:30 American Housewife (Repeat) 10:00 Lights, Camera, Christmas!

Here are my CBS schedule suggestions! As usual, CBS doesn't have a ton on the bench but they also have some nights that are definitely having trouble. This might be a year they wish they had more shows on the bench. MONDAYS 8:00 Kevin Can Wait 8:30 Man with a Plan 9:00 By the Book 9:30 Superior Donuts 10:00 Instinct CBS has tweaked their Monday lineup but the next thing that needs to go is 9JKL , which needs to be cancelled. I don't love the idea of By the Book or Instinct here, but I'm also not high on either of those shows so I guess I'd give them a chance here. I can't imagine they'd be worse offerings than 9JKL and Scorpion . TUESDAYS 8:00 NCIS 9:00 Bull  10:00 NCIS: New Orleans I would leave Tuesdays alone. It's arguably the most stable and solid CBS night. WEDNESDAYS 8:00 (Jan) Undercover Boss/(late Feb) Survivor 9:00 SEAL Team 10:00 Criminal Minds CBS doesn't have an obvious filler for Survivor so I would put a short run of Und...

Here is a look at Week #8! ABC ABC has a bunch of Thanksgiving episodes among their comedies. It is also preempting most of its Sunday lineup for the American Music Awards next Sunday. Before it will be the season finale of The Toy Box , and it should be the series finale too, but we'll see. It will be interesting to see how The Good Doctor does after a week off. MONDAY 8:00 Dancing with the Stars 10:00 The Good Doctor TUESDAY 8:00 The Middle (Thanksgiving episode) 8:30 Fresh Off the Boat (Thanksgiving episode) 9:00 Black-ish 9:30 The Mayor 10:00 Kevin (Probably) Saves the World WEDNESDAY 8:00 The Goldbergs (Thanksgiving episode) 8:30 Speechless (Thanksgiving episode) 9:00 Modern Family (Thanksgiving episode) 9:30 American Housewife (Thanksgiving episode) 10:00 Designated Survivor THURSDAY 8:00 Grey's Anatomy 9:00 Scandal 10:00 How to Get Away with Murder FRIDAY 8:00 Once Upon a Time 9:00 Once Upon a Time 10:00 20/20 SATURDAY 8:00 College Footb...

Here's a look at Week #7! ABC ABC's week has some preemptions thanks to country music. Most perplexing is the choice to preempt hit drama  The Good Doctor  for what will surely be a low rated Luke Bryan special. Why couldn't they have aired it on Tuesday and preempt Kevin (Probably) Saves the World ? As usual, the CMA Awards will preempt their Wednesday night comedy block but the CMA Awards are usually a decent draw. Thursday marks the 300th episode of Grey's Anatomy and that will surely get it back into the 2s in the demo. Friday marks the season (and most likely series) finale of the low rated and critically trashed Marvel's Inhumans . MONDAY 8:00 Dancing with the Stars 10:00 Living Every Day: Luke Bryan (Special) TUESDAY 8:00 The Middle 8:30 Fresh Off the Boat 9:00 Black-ish 9:30 The Mayor 10:00 Kevin (Probably) Saves the World WEDNESDAY 8:00 51st Annual CMA Awards (Special) THURSDAY 8:00 Grey's Anatomy 9:00 Scandal 10:00 How to Get Awa...

S.W.A.T. Starring: Shemar Moore, Stephanie Sigman, Alex Russell, Lina Esco, Kenny Johnson, Peter Onorati, and Jay Harrington Based on the series "S.W.A.T." Created & Developed by Robert Hamner and Rick Husky Developed by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas and Shawn Ryan Written by Aaron Rahsaan Thomas & Shawn Ryan, Directed by Justin Lin THE PREMISE S.W.A.T. is another reboot, there's always a few in the new crop of shows every year. This is based on the moderately successful 1970s series and 2003 film of the same name. While it is basically still a cop show centered o a SWAT team, the show has tried to make itself a little more relevant for 2017 by commenting quite on a bit on the relations between the police and the community as led by Sergeant Daniel Harrleson (Shemar Moore). THE REVIEW Criminal Minds was a guilty pleasure of mine for many years (though I only watch sporadically now). I never thought it was a great show and I never thought it was ...

Here is my midseason CW schedule! The CW has four shows waiting in the wings and only programs 10 hours so there's less options than the other networks. MONDAYS 8:00 Supergirl 9:00 (Jan) Dynasty/(Mar) iZombie For the second year in a row, CW has struck out with their fall freshman dramas. But I think one should get at least a small extension and I would let Dynasty try its luck on Mondays for a little while, though I doubt it will help. In March, I would replace it with iZombie . TUESDAYS 8:00 The Flash 9:00 (Jan) DC's Legends of Tomorrow/(Feb) Black Lightning I think we all expect Black Lightning to take over for DC's Legends of Tomorrow and that is the right move. I think the idea of the CW starting to consolidate its superhero shows to a couple nights and this helps to that end. WEDNESDAYS 8:00 Riverdale 9:00 Life Sentence While their fall freshmen have been flops for two years, the CW stumbled into a big success with Riverdale , which picked up a lot of ...
