THE WEEK AHEAD: October 7-13, 2019

Check back tonight for my review of Batwoman!

Here's a look at Week #3 of the season!

ABC
In a move that feels very like a very 90s-era stunt, ABC is branding their entire week with a "Cast from the Past" moniker. I actually think this is a cool idea as former co-stars from other shows and movies of ABC cast members will show up all week. Highlights include a Blues Brothers reunion with Dan Aykroyd on John Goodman's The Conners, a Girlfriends reunion on Black-ish, a Charmed reunion on Grey's Anatomy, a Cheers reunion on The Goldbergs and a The Drew Carey Show reunion on American Housewife. I'm not sure if this stunt will make a difference in the ratings, but I do think it's a fun plan.

CBS
CBS is all new all week. Their lineup held up pretty well in week two after a rough premiere week so week three will be interesting to watch to see if it can continue to hold on strong.

MONDAY
8:00 The Neighborhood
8:30 Bob Hearts Abishola

SUNDAY

NBC
NBC is doing just fine with its returning shows but things are at a pretty disastrous point with some of their newbies, specifically Sunnyside. I know we're not in an era where shows get pulled easily but it's week three of the season and Sunnyside already pulled a 0.3 demo. It has to go. A pretty lackluster Sunday Night Football game rounds out NBC's week this week with the 1-4 Steelers visiting the 2-3 Chargers.

MONDAY
8:00 The Voice
10:00 Bluff City Law

TUESDAY
8:00 The Voice

SATURDAY
8:00 College Football

SUNDAY
7:00 Football Night in America
8:30 Sunday Night Football: Pittsburgh at LA Chargers

FOX
FOX had a rough debut from Almost Family last week but everything else seems to be holding up pretty well and Prodigal Son is still the only newbie to have cracked a 1.0 demo on any network (and it's done it twice). They got better news late last week when the arrival of SmackDown did very well on Friday night, well above anything it was doing on USA Network. A Thursday Night Football game between two big market teams with a lot of history with each other should help make this a strong week for FOX.

MONDAY

9:00 Prodigal Son

9:30 Family Guy

CW
It's Premiere Week for the CW. Following last night's Batwoman and Supergirl premiere, everything except Arrow returns this week. There is also the final fall series premiere of the season with Nancy Drew on Wednesday night. Will anything on the CW show some life? We'll see...
