THE WEEK AHEAD: March 4-10, 2019

Here's a look at Week #24!

ABC
ABC does not have its regular Tuesday and Wednesday comedy lineups this week. The annual "Women Tell All" special of The Bachelor airs Tuesday while a special episode of American Idol airs Wednesday to try to help newbie Whiskey Cavalier. Thursday has the return of Station 19 after a hiatus and the season premiere of low-rated drama For the People.

CBS

CBS has a mix of repeats and new episodes as well as an Aretha Franklin special on Sunday night. Can The World's Best sink even lower after going from 1.0 to 0.9 to 0.6 to 0.4 the past four weeks? This has been the biggest flop in years in my opinion given its post-Super Bowl airing.

MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood (Repeat)

FOX
In a post-Masked Singer world for FOX, they are airing a two hour season finale of Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back. The show did well as a lead-in to the massive Masked but it will be interesting to see how it does on a night with no pre-tuning.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS announced that season four of Life in Pieces will premiere on Thursday, April 25 and air at 9:30pm. Originally a post-Big Bang show, the series has had full seasons until this year where it clearly became an afterthought. A fifth season seems unlikely given the current treatment but we'll see what happens.

- NBC has renewed the three Chicago shows as well as Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Their #OneChicago night has been a huge success this season and seems likely to return fully intact with all three shows renewed. It will be season 8 for Chicago Fire, season 7 for Chicago PD, and season 5 for Chicago Med. Meanwhile, Brooklyn is in its first NBC season after five seasons on FOX. It started strong but has settled in just a little above what it was getting at the end of the FOX run.

- FOX has announced that Beverly Hills 90210 will be returning in a six episode event series revival this summer. The iconic 90s FOX drama was rebooted in 2008 on the CW and ran for five years, but this will be a revival with many original cast members. Like the reboot though, it will simply go by 90210.
