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.

CBS
CBS has its regular lineup on Monday, Thursday, and Friday this week. Tuesday brings its regular post-Thanksgiving Tuesday lineup of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer-NCIS repeat-Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Both Rudolph and the Fashion Show are always highly rated specials. Wednesday has a Bruno Mars special following two hours of Survivor while Sunday has a 50th Anniversary of The Carol Burnett Show, which will skew old but could do well in total viewers.

NBC
Like ABC and CBS, NBC has several holiday specials mixed in. With The Brave done for the fall, a Pentatonix special gets the post-Voice slot on Monday. Tuesday is the regular lineup with the fall finale of This is Us followed by week two of the new season of Chicago Med, which did OK last week for its premiere. Wednesday has the always decently rated Christmas in Rockefeller Center which will provide a better lead-in for its crime dramas.

FOX
FOX has its regular lineup across the board except for Monday, which is in repeats. They have more episodes left from their baseball preemptions so that helps explain why they can air most of their regular lineup.

CW
It is Crossover Week on the CW but they are restricting it to two days with Arrow moving over for one night only to air after Supergirl. Last year, this crossover led to big gains for these shows but they don't seem to have the heat they had last year. So I think they'll still go up but not like they did last year. With Arrow airing on Monday, a one off airing of Penn & Teller: Fool Us will air on Thursday. And there are Holiday specials instead of the usual Friday lineup.
MONDAY
8:00 Supergirl
9:00 Arrow
TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow
WEDNESDAY
8:00 Riverdale

THURSDAY
8:00 Supernatural
9:00 Penn & Teller: Fool Us
FRIDAY
8:00 Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer (Special)
9:00 Masters of Illusion: Christmas Magic (Special)
TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- FOX has slated Tuesdays at 9pm as the slot for LA to Vegas starting January 2. The Mick moves to 9:30pm while Brooklyn Nine-Nine goes on hiatus. FOX doesn't have a ton of great slots but this is definitely one of their weaker ones so that doesn't seem like a great sign for the new comedy
- In a bigger promotional push, FOX has given its post-NFC Championship Game slot to new drama The Resident. It will premiere on Sunday, January 21 and then settle into a Monday 9pm slot following the end of the first season of The Gifted.
- NBC has renewed The Good Place for a third season. The underdog comedy had a very solid start to its second season and will return in January following NBC's football package. The first season also reportedly did well on Netflix over the summer.
