QUICK HITS: Midseason Schedule Suggestion for ABC

Here is my midseason schedule suggestion for ABC! ABC has had an OK fall. They have a bunch of middling dramas while their comedies have done a little bit better. Their only outright flop is The Alec Baldwin Show , which is already benched to Saturdays. ABC has three more high profile dramas sitting on the bench. I think given the structure of their schedule and the fact that American Idol is coming back, this is a schedule that doesn't have a ton of room for creativity. MONDAYS (January) 8:00 The Bachelor 10:00 The Good Doctor (March) 8:00 American Idol 10:00 Whiskey Cavalier I think the plan for last year is solid with The Bachelor pairing with The Good Doctor and American Idol leading into a new show. I just don't think The Good Doctor could survive a hiatus, but I would try to get a new drama on a little sooner than early April like The Crossing was last year. Whiskey Cavalier seems like a good fit here. TUESDAYS 8:00 (Jan) The Conners/ (Feb) Schooled 8:30 T...

This is Us (NBC, Tuesday 9:00pm) - 2.1     6th week     The Big Bang Theory (CBS, Thursday 8:00pm) - 2.1     6th week 3. The Simpsons (FOX, Sunday 8:00pm) - 1.9     4th week 4.

THE WEEK AHEAD: November 5-11, 2018

Here's a look at Week #7! ABC ABC is one of three networks taking Tuesday off for midterm election coverage. It's understandable because there will be a lot of attention on the midterms, but it comes at an unfortunate time for ABC which saw a nice uptick for its comedy block last week and now can't have a chance to build on that momentum. The rest of the week is normal except for Sunday, which will see Shark Tank and The Alec Baldwin Show preempted again, this time for Robin Roberts specials. MONDAY 8:00 Dancing with the Stars 10:00 The Good Doctor TUESDAY 8:00 ABC News: Midterm Election Coverage WEDNESDAY 8:00 The Goldbergs 8:30 American Housewife 9:00 Modern Family 9:30 Single Parents 10:00 A Million Little Things THURSDAY 8:00 Grey's Anatomy 9:00 Station 19 10:00 How to Get Away with Murder FRIDAY 8:00 Fresh Off the Boat 8:30 Speechless 9:00 Child Support 10:00 20/20 SATURDAY 8:00 College Football SUNDAY 7:00 America's Funniest H...

QUICK HITS: Midseason Schedule Suggestion for CBS

Here is my CBS midseason schedule suggestion! CBS seemed off to a rough start, but they have stabilized quicker than other networks and have reliable newbies in FBI and (surprisingly) The Neighborhood  even while their bigger bets like Magnum P.I. and Murphy Brown haven't done as well. MONDAYS 8:00 The Neighborhood 8:30 (Jan) Fam/ (Apr) Man with a Plan 9:00 Magnum P.I. 10:00 Bull Happy Together is doing OK, but they have three comedies on the bench. With The Neighborhood being a decent performer, I would use it to launch a new show at a highly viewed time of year so I would slot Fam behind it in January and then let Man with a Plan do mop-up at the end of the season. Magnum P.I. has a full season so I guess I would leave it here unless things get dire then I would switch it with Bull. TUESDAYS 8:00 NCIS 9:00 FBI 10:00 NCIS: New Orleans I would leave Tuesdays alone. They have been solid for CBS and FBI is doing decently, especially in total viewers. WEDNESDAYS (Jan...
