THE WEEK AHEAD: November 13-19, 2017

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.

CBS
CBS has already upended its Monday lineup and is bringing back Man with a Plan to the slot it occupied last year. While it won't do great, I think it will be an upgrade on 9JKL's one week in this slot with Kevin Can Wait as a lead-in.

FOX

FOX has its regular lineup all week. They are advertising the premieres of The Four, LA to Vegas, and 9-1-1 being in January so I think we'll get a midseason schedule this week from the network.

The CW has another week with its complete regular lineup. Nothing too exciting!

8:00 Supergirl
9:00 Valor

TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow

WEDNESDAY
8:00 Riverdale
9:00 Dynasty

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- The Mick has gotten seven additional episodes ordered to bring its Season 2 order to 20. This is a good sign for the struggling sophomore comedy. It's one that FOX really likes but it hasn't been able to find a large audience.

- Despite low ratings, the CW handed Dynasty a full season order. This isn't shocking because it seemed likely that one of their new freshman dramas were going to get a full season and Dynasty is one of their CBS studio shows which always seem to have more support from the CW. This news probably does not bode well for the other freshman drama Valor.

- NBC revealed that their regular lineup will mostly return the first week of January including bubble shows The Brave and Great News. Taken will have its revamped second season premiere on Friday, January 12 at 9pm.

- ABC has ordered three extra episodes of Kevin (Probably) Saves the World and additional scripts for The Mayor. I don't think either show is going to make it to a second season but ABC has not given up on them yet.
