Here's a look at this week on TV!
ABC
ABC is filling the early part of its week with Halloween episodes across both comedy blocks. This has helped the shows in the past but I don't think any big spikes are coming.

The fact that the World Series was tied going into Sunday night's game means we will at least get a Game 6. A Game 7 is possible as well but not a guarantee.

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- CBS handed out an early second season renewal to Evil, making it the second show to get one in the early weeks of the season (after Bless the Harts). This seems awfully early for a show that has low ratings but it did uptick in week four and has solid DVR growth. It also comes from creators that CBS wants to be in business with - Robert and Michelle King, so that could be a factor. All that being said, season one will only be 13 episodes so CBS will be looking for a Thursday 10pm replacement for the spring.
- CBS also ordered additional episodes of its four other freshmen: All Rise, Bob Hearts Abishola, The Unicorn and Carol's Second Act. It was not official how many episodes of any of them, but the rumor is Bob got the full 22 while the other three got 18.
- FOX announced its midseason schedule. Among the highlights are Last Man Standing returning January 2 in its new time period of Thursdays at 8pm. It will double pump its episodes for the first couple weeks and be followed by new drama Deputy at 9pm. On January 23, new comedy Outmatched will join the night at 8:30pm. Elsewhere, 9-1-1: Lone Star will get a two night premiere starting after the NFC Championship Game on January 19 and taking the original 9-1-1 slot for a winter run. New animated comedy Duncanville will replace Bless the Harts starting February 16 and Lego Masters will be the post-Masked Singer entry for the spring followed Masked's post-Super Bowl return. Finally, two shorter winter runs will be given to Gordon Ramsay's 24 Hours to Hell and Back as an Empire filler on Tuesdays and the new Flirty Dancing as a Masked Singer filler on Wednesdays in January. No word yet on other new scripted entries Filthy Rich or Next, so it will probably be at least March before we see them. Almost Family will not get a back order but it's not officially cancelled (yet).
- The CW has handed out full season orders to Batwoman and Nancy Drew. Each will get a full 22 episodes. This isn't surprising given the fact that they weren't instant bombs and the CW relies a lot on long term, non-linear data.
