Here's a look at Week #5!
ABC
ABC has a pretty normal week except there is no The Good Doctor or Friday comedy hour. Wednesday has a night full of Halloween comedy episodes but the night to watch will be the Tuesday lineup, which had mixed results on its premiere night this past week. The Conners got off to a solid start but could be in for a big drop as there was certainly a decent amount of curiosity last week.
MONDAY
8:00 Dancing with the Stars
10:00 The Rookie (Repeat)
TUESDAY
8:00 The Conners
8:30 The Kids are Alright

8:30 American Housewife (Halloween episode)
9:00 Modern Family (Halloween episode)
9:30 Single Parents (Halloween episode)
10:00 A Million Little Things
THURSDAY

9:00 Shark Tank
10:00 The Alec Baldwin Show
CBS
CBS is all new all week with its regular lineup. It also has a few Halloween episodes sprinkled in. CBS always seems like a network that could be prone to getting dinged by the World Series competition.
MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood
8:30 Happy Together
9:00 Magnum P.I.
10:00 Bull
TUESDAY
8:00 NCIS

SATURDAY
8:00 College Football
SUNDAY
7:00 60 Minutes
8:00 God Friended Me
9:00 NCIS: Los Angeles
10:00 Madam Secretary
NBC
NBC has an all-new week. Friday has the season premiere of Midnight, Texas, last seen in the summer of 2017. With Blindspot having a rough start in the 8pm hour, it seems unlikely that Midnight will make any kind of dent in the ratings.
MONDAY
8:00 The Voice
9:00 Manifest
TUESDAY
8:00 The Voice
9:00 This is Us
10:00 New Amsterdam

9:30 I Feel Bad
10:00 Law & Order: SVU
FRIDAY
8:00 Blindspot
9:00 Midnight, Texas (Season Premiere)
10:00 Dateline NBC
SATURDAY
8:00 Dateline NBC
10:00 Saturday Night Live (Repeat)
SUNDAY
7:00 Football Night in America
8:30 Sunday Night Football: New Orleans at Minnesota
FOX
FOX has one night of scripted programming on Monday night. The rest of the week is sports, mostly the World Series which will at least go through Saturday. It is between two big market teams so it could have an impact across the networks.
MONDAY
8:00 The Resident
9:00 9-1-1
TUESDAY
8:00 2018 World Series Game 1
WEDNESDAY
8:00 2018 World Series Game 2

SATURDAY
8:00 2018 World Series Game 4
SUNDAY
7:00 NFL Overrun/The OT
8:00 2018 World Series Game 5 (if needed)
CW
The CW finally rolls out the rest of its lineup this week with the season premiere of DC's Legends of Tomorrow on Monday and the series premiere of Legacies on Thursday. It will be interesting to see if there's any interest in the Vampire Diaries universe anymore. I'm guessing not much even with a compatible lead-in of Supernatural.
MONDAY
8:00 Arrow
9:00 DC's Legends of Tomorrow (Season Premiere)
TUESDAY
8:00 The Flash
9:00 Black Lightning
WEDNESDAY
8:00 Riverdale
9:00 All American
THURSDAY
8:00 Supernatural
9:00 Legacies (SERIES PREMIERE)

9:00 Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
SUNDAY
8:00 Supergirl

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS will be giving the prime post-Super Bowl slot to the series premiere of their new reality show The World's Best. Unscripted debuts following the Super Bowl has worked well in the past for CBS with two Survivor premieres and the series premiere of Undercover Boss in 2010. No word on what the regular slot will be, but my guess is Sunday nights.
- ABC handed a full season order to Single Parents, the first ABC newbie to get a back order. The comedy has done alright in its Wednesday 9:30pm slot and ABC is giving it a chance to grow and become another solid member of its comedy arsenal.
- NBC has ordered three additional episodes of Manifest. It will not get a full 22 episode season but instead get a 16 episode order. This seems more about NBC's plans for midseason than about the show, which has been a solid performer so far.
- Continuing the full season orders: CBS handed out full seasons to God Friended Me, The Neighborhood, and Magnum P.I. God Friended Me and The Neighborhood have been decent performers so far while Magnum has underperformed, but will get a full season chance. The only CBS newbie to not get a full season yet is Happy Together and it seems unlikely it will.
- FOX handed out a full season to The Cool Kids. The Friday sitcom has been the top comedy premiere on any network so far thanks to its Last Man Standing lead-in. It has dropped since then, but could still be considered an overperformer on Friday night at its current level.
- And finally, a sophomore drama also got a full season: Station 19. The Grey's Anatomy spinoff was originally only ordered for 13 episodes, but will now go a full 22.
