Here is a look at Week #24!
ABC
ABC has a big beginning and end of their week. At the beginning is The Bachelor season finale but they are stretching it out big time. It used to be a two hour finale followed by a one hour "After the Final Rose" special. This time it is a three hour finale on Monday and a two hour "After the Final Rose" special on Tuesday. I'm surprised they're not using either night to launch one of their many new scripted shows coming. On Sunday is the heavily promoted return of American Idol on a new network. ABC has put a lot of their eggs in the American Idol basket, but I just don't see a revival of this show being something fans are clamoring for. It is followed by the series premiere of Deception, which I think looks promising.

CBS has a pretty normal week with all their shows new. They had a mostly down week this past week so they must be hoping a second week with the regular schedule (and right before Daylight Savings) perks things back up.

NBC
NBC has a series premiere on Thursday with Champions in its comedy block, but I don't see it being much of an improvement over Great News. The rest of the schedule is new too. On Sundays, they have the season premiere of the un-cancelled Timeless going head to head with ABC's Deception and following an American Ninja Warrior special.

8:00 OJ Simpson: The Lost Confession? (Special)
CW
The CW has a series premiere on Wednesday with Life Sentence, another CW dramedy that could have some critical appeal but seems like it will not be much of an improvement on Dynasty. Speaking of Dynasty, that freshman drama makes its Friday debut this week. Is a 0.1 demo on the horizon?
MONDAY
8:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow
9:00 iZombie
TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 Black Lightning

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- ABC has ordered eight episodes of an Alec Baldwin talk show called Sundays with Alec Baldwin. A special preview will air tonight after the Oscars but a premiere date has not been announced. At the earliest, it would be summer unless Deception bombs.
- FOX announced that Brooklyn Nine-Nine will return Sunday, March 18 at 8:30pm. This replaces Ghosted, which is surprisingly pulled from the schedule as it was due to come back next Sunday. This seems like a de facto cancellation for Ghosted.
