Here's a look at Week #19! This week features the Super Bowl (and premiere of The World's Best ) on Sunday night and a bizarre Tuesday night for the networks as the State of the Union was originally scheduled for this night but with it not happening on Tuesday, networks aren't backtracking and going to all their regular scheduled programming, they are mostly sticking with repeats or filler.

Here's a look at Week #17! ABC ABC has an all new week except for some repeats on Sunday. Most interesting to watch will be Thursday night and the new home for A Million Little Things . If it can show improvement in live viewing after Grey's Anatomy , that will be a good sign. Schooled had a solid debut last week so we'll see how week two holds up. MONDAY 8:00 The Bachelor 10:00 The Good Doctor TUESDAY 8:00 The Conners 8:30 The Kids Are Alright 9:00 Black-ish 9:30 Splitting Up Together 10:00 The Rookie WEDNESDAY 8:00 The Goldbergs 8:30 Schooled 9:00 Modern Family 9:30 Single Parents 10:00 Match Game THURSDAY 8:00 Grey's Anatomy 9:00 A Million Little Things 10:00 How to Get Away with Murder FRIDAY 8:00 Fresh Off the Boat 8:30 Speechless 9:00 20/20 SATURDAY 8:00 NBA Basketball: LA Lakers at Houston SUNDAY 7:00 America's Funniest Home Videos (Repeat) 8:00 America's Funniest Home Videos (Repeat) 9:00 Shark Tank 10:00 Shark Tan...

FAM Starring: Nina Dobrev, Tone Bell, Odessa Adlon, Sheryl Lee Ralph, with Brian Stokes Mitchell, and Gary Cole Created by Corinne Kingsbury Written by Corinne Kingsbury, Directed by Scott Ellis IN SHORT: The Odd Couple: Family Edition THE PREMISE: Fam is centered on a newly engaged couple, Clem and Nick (Nina Dobrev and Tone Bell). Nick comes from a loving, if slightly overbearing family, with parents Rose and Walt (Sheryl Lee Ralph and Brian Stokes Mitchell). Clem comes from a very dysfunctional family with a narcissistic and estranged father, Freddy (Gary Cole) and a troubled teenage half-sister, Shannon (Odessa Adlon). THE REVIEW: Fam is everything you would expect from a CBS sitcom about two different families. Take that as you will, but it's pretty much the best description. Everything about this sitcom felt like a retread. Despite an occasional funny line, most of the jokes were detectable from a mile away while the interactions felt forced at best...

SCHOOLED Starring: Tim Meadows, Bryan Callen, and AJ Michalka Created by  Adam F. Goldberg and Mark Firek Written by Marc Firek, Directed by David Katzenberg IN SHORT: School of Rock with the Mean Girls principal THE PREMISE: Schooled is a spinoff of The Goldbergs and set a few years after the popular 80s sitcom. We're now in the 90s (although there appears to be no set timeline just like the parent series) and Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka) is trying to find her place in life. With some help from Beverly Goldberg, she returns to William Penn Charter School as the new music teacher under Principal Glascott (Tim Meadows). Still there is gym teacher and coach Rick Mellor (Bryan Callen) who is trying to adapt to 1990s kids. THE REVIEW: I wasn't super excited about this spinoff because Lainey, Glascott, and Coach Mellor are not my favorite parts of The Goldbergs and I felt like it might just feel exactly like the 90s version of The Goldbergs . But while it is...

Here is my annual year-end countdown of the best episodes of 2018! I will include the caveat I always do that I am behind on some shows and haven't even started some streaming shows that might have an episode that belongs on this list, but of what I have seen - here is my list! Past countdowns:  2017     2016     2015     2014     2013     2012     2011 20. Mom #111 "Pre-Washed Lettuce and a Mime" (CBS/September 27) Mom has continued to be a very underrated sitcom (even if Kristen Johnson's presence has annoyed me this season). The season premiere dealt with Christy's attempted return to college and it was interesting to see how this difficult leap for Christy can relate to being sober as Mom has continued to explore new journeys. There was also a great comedic scene with Christy and Bonnie trying to retrieve her purse from Christy's work and setting off alarms. 19. 9-1-1 #20 "Merry Ex-Mas" (FOX/November 26) Le...
