Here's a look at Week #17!
ABC
ABC has a mostly all new week including the return of TGIT on Thursday night. That isn't as big a deal as it used to be but it has still gotten a lot of promotion from ABC and should return solidly. The Bachelor has had a very soft start to its season while dealing with New Years Day and the College Football Championship competition. We'll see if it can perk up on a more normal Monday.

CBS
CBS has the return of its Monday lineup this week but they probably won't do much better, if at all, than the repeats of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon were doing in recent weeks here. Tuesday and Sunday is full of repeats but the rest of the week has normal lineups.

NBC
NBC has all new episodes this week. Will & Grace has had a rough January return so it will be interesting to see if it can recover at all. I kind of doubt it as it seems like the novelty has worn off.

FOX
FOX has the two hour season finale of The Gifted on Monday. Despite ever decreasing ratings, it has already been renewed for next season. Its replacement, The Resident, premieres on Sunday night after the NFC Championship Game and it will certainly get a great sampling because this post-Championship game slot has become a great launching pad.

SUNDAY
7:00 NFL NFC Championship Game
10:00 The Resident (SERIES PREMIERE)
CW
After being dormant for over a month, the CW is back in action this week with its full lineup except for Friday. It includes the series premiere of Black Lightning on Tuesday night. I don't think it will have a great debut but it should be a little better than Valor and Dynasty were in the fall.
MONDAY
8:00 Supergirl
9:00 Valor
TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 Black Lightning (SERIES PREMIERE)
WEDNESDAY
8:00 Riverdale

FRIDAY
8:00 Black Lightning (Repeat)

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- The CW announced the rest of its premieres for the season: Life Sentence will premiere on March 7 at 9pm. Dynasty will leave Wednesday nights and head to Fridays that same week in a definite timeslot downgrade. Additionally, iZombie will take over the Monday 9pm slot from Valor starting February 26. The 100 will air on Tuesdays at 9pm starting April 24 while the final season of The Originals premieres April 20 at 9pm.
- ABC finally announced all its midseason plans. They already announced a March 11 premiere date for American Idol. It will be followed by Deception at 10pm. Idol will aired on Sundays and Mondays for awhile before an all-star athlete edition of Dancing with the Stars takes its place starting April 30. On Mondays at 10pm, The Crossing will start once The Good Doctor ends its season on April 2. Tuesdays brings Splitting Up Together at 9:30pm starting March 27, the same day Roseanne debuts while Alex, Inc. takes Wednesdays at 8:30pm starting the next night. Earlier in the month, the Shondaland drama For the People takes over Tuesdays at 10pm and the Untitled Grey's Anatomy spinoff has a two hour premiere on March 22 at 9pm. After Scandal ends, the third season of Quantico joins on Thursdays at 10pm starting April 26. Other than Quantico, which shouldn't have ever been renewed, I think ABC made mostly good decisions with a very packed spring lineup.
- Scandal will air its series finale on April 19 at 10pm. It will move back to its original Thursday 10pm slot for the last couple episodes to make room for the Grey's Anatomy spinoff.
- NBC renewed Ellen's Game of Games after just one episode in its regular timeslot. The unscripted winter filler has been a big success story for NBC this season.
- FOX has given three additional episodes to LA to Vegas after the freshman comedy's decent debut. This news came before the freshman comedy had a pretty rough week two drop.
- CBS has announced that Elementary will begin its season on Monday, April 30 at 10pm while Code Black will follow two days later on May 2 at 10pm. Both shows will air well into the summer. It looks like CBS is trying to transition them to summer series.
- FOX announced a continuation of its unscripted science show Cosmos to air in Spring 2019. It last aired in Spring 2014. Its previous Sunday 7pm timeslot seems like a likely destination again.
