THE WEEK AHEAD: December 2-8, 2019

Here's a look at this week on TV!

ABC
ABC has the premiere of its annual Christmas series The Great Christmas Light Fight on Monday night. There are also a few other specials this week including the always high-rated A Charlie Brown Christmas on Thursday and a special celebrating thirty years of America's Funniest Home Videos on Sunday. ABC is also getting in the Christmas movie game that Hallmark excels at with a Lea Michelle movie called Same Time, Next Christmas on Thursday. It's been quite awhile since a network commissioned an original movie, which was a staple of network programming for a long time.

MONDAY
8:00 The Great Christmas Light Fight (Season Premiere)
10:00 The Good Doctor

TUESDAY

CBS
CBS has a mix of new episodes and repeats this week. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer typically airs on the first Tuesday in December but will air on Monday this year. We'll see if that impacts the usually strong ratings at all. Sunday night has the series finale of Madam Secretary, which will end after six seasons and 120 episodes. Not bad for a show that has spent its last three years on CBS in the death timeslot of Sunday at 10pm (or later).

MONDAY

9:00 All Rise (Repeat)
10:00 Bull (Repeat)

NBC is filling its week with many specials and very few regular series. The second season of Making It, which last aired in Summer 2018, premieres on Monday and will air for four straight nights. They also have their annual Christmas in Rockefeller Center special on Wednesday night and other Christmas programming through the week.

FOX
FOX has an interesting attempt this winter as they will air a scripted holiday themed series - The Moodys starring Dennis Leary. As of right now, it's slated to be a limited series but I'm sure if there is some life in it, it will be back in some form in the future. Aside from that, FOX's beginning of the week is pretty normal while the Miss Universe pageant takes the place of the animated block on Sunday night.

CW
The CW is by far the network with the most normal week as their Monday through Friday lineup is normal programming. Sunday starts their big crossover "Crisis of Infinite Earth" event featuring their DC shows. It will start with Supergirl and have an after-show special that immediately follows it.

MONDAY
8:00 All American
9:00 Black Lightning
