CBS
CBS is a mix of repeats and new episodes. Thursday night has the fourth season premiere of Man with a Plan and the series premiere of the new Broke starring Pauley Perrette, last seen on CBS on NCIS. Man with a Plan could do OK with a likely higher than usual Young Sheldon (8pm shows have been getting a boost) but Broke probably won't do much. Friday night has the series finale of Hawaii Five-0, ending after 10 seasons and 240 episodes. It went from being somewhat of a disappointment on Monday nights to a very reliable Friday performer for many years. The finale is appropriately titled "Aloha."

CW
Aside from Fridays and Roswell, New Mexico, CW is fully in repeat and special mode this week. They announced that the most recent episode of Supernatural to air will be the last for awhile. Considering it's the final season, it can't just cut the season short so I imagine we'll get the final run of Supernatural episodes much later on, maybe even in the fall even though it won't be an official new season.

PILOT REVIEW: Council of Dads

COUNCIL OF DADS











Starring: Sarah Wayne Callies, Clive Standen, J. August Richards, Michele Weaver, Emjay Anthony, Thalia Tran, Blue Chapman, Steven Silver and Michael O'Neill

Created by Joan Rater and Tony Phelan
Written by Joan Rater & Tony Phelan, Directed by James Strong

The network that brought you This is Us and has tried to replicate it since with Rise and The Village, has another one for you. Now, this is coming from someone who loves This is Us but also recognizes when a show is being manipulative and not creative. Every hit spawns copycats, look at what happened (and is still happening to a degree) after shows like Friends and Lost. There could be worse types of shows to try to emulate though and Council of Dads seems to fall somewhere in between the best of these kinds of shows (This is Us) and the worst (The Village).

Council of Dads is centered on a family whose father, Scott (guest star Tom Everett Scott) gets cancer. The pilot takes place over a whole year from the cancer diagnosis to the (SPOILER ALERT) death of the patriarch. Left behind are his wife, Robin (Sarah Wayne Callies) who just gave birth to their youngest daughter as well as older children Theo, Charlotte and JJ (Emjay Anthony, Thalia Tran & Blue Chapman) and his oldest from a previous relationship, Luly (Michele Weaver). Now, here's the cloying part, Scott asks a group of his friends to be a "Council of Dads" in the event of his death. This includes his doctor, Oliver Post (J. August Richards), older friend Larry Mills (Michael O'Neill) and long time friend Anthony (Clive Standen).

There's a lot of things wrong with how Council of Dads did this pilot. They spent most of it centered on a character who doesn't live to see the end of the pilot. I understand that's a story they wanted to tell but it gives us almost no indication of what the show is going to be like. The show also pulled a A Million Little Things and dealt with almost every big life issue in a 42 minute pilot. There was cancer, death, pregnancy and birth, an LGBTQ issue, a wedding and a discussion about alcoholism. I'm not saying that these topics wouldn't come up, they certainly have in time for shows like This is Us and Parenthood, but we don't need them all in the pilot.

The biggest issue with how they did the pilot though is I was much more interested in the story with Tom Everett Scott as the father than with the "council" we saw for a few minutes at the end of the episode. If they had done a show about a family with Scott as the patriarch, I might be more interested in it long-term because I thought Scott was strong and had good chemistry with his on-screen family. Everything with the other three dads, even with a strong performance from J. August Richards, felt incredibly manipulative and aimed at simply trying to get the audience to cry. Maybe it will surprise me but I feel like I can tell what future episode will look like - "child A has a problem and rebels against Dad Council Member #2 until they learn a lesson at the end." Let's hope I'm wrong.

WILL I WATCH IT AGAIN?
Yes, despite my better judgment I'm a sucker for shows like this and give them more time than others. So this will probably be the same but it won't be a long term commitment if it keeps trying too hard.

THE WEEK AHEAD: March 23-29, 2020

Here's a look at this week on TV. One of the only things the coronavirus hasn't been terrible for is TV ratings as many shows have posted season or multi-year highs. That will likely continue this week with more and more Americans required to stay home. There are season finales of Stumptown, A Million Little Things, This is Us, Outmatched and Deputy as well as the series premiere of Council of Dads, getting a sneak peek behind This is Us before it moves to Thursdays in late April.

THE WEEK AHEAD: March 9-15, 2020

Here's a look at this week on TV!

ABC
ABC has the two night season finale of The Bachelor this week and it'll surely be the top two ratings performances of the week. It'll be interesting to see if it can be any help to middling newbie For Life on Tuesday night. Wednesday night has a marathon of fan favorite episodes of Modern Family before it airs its final batch of episodes in its 11 year run.

MONDAY
8:00 The Bachelor
10:00 The Good Doctor

TUESDAY
8:00 The Bachelor (Season Finale)

CBS
CBS has an all new week with their normal lineup before the NCAA Tournament takes over (that is, if the NCAA Tournament goes on in light of coronavirus).

NBC
NBC has a week of mostly new episodes with some repeats mixed in. Sunday night has the season premiere of The Wall, last seen with new episodes in 2018. It was a decent performer that since has gotten shoddy treatment by NBC but the 7pm Sunday slot likely won't be kind to it.

MONDAY

FOX
FOX has a two hour season finale of 9-1-1: Lone Star on Monday night. It hasn't been renewed for a second season yet but I imagine it will be. It had a lackluster start but has held pretty steady since then so I think a renewal is quite likely. Maybe it will even happen today ahead of the finale.

9:00 Supergirl

TV NEWS & THOUGHTS
- FOX has cancelled Almost Family after one season. This was not a surprise at all as it was benched to Saturdays and not given a back order. It is a little surprising it got the announcement now and not as a formality in May. Maybe they wanted to get ahead of a potential Me Too scandal involving star Timothy Hutton?

- The CW has announced that the seventh and final season of The 100 will premiere on May 20 at 8pm. They also announced that the CW debut of Stargirl will happen on May 12 at 9pm. It will premiere on the streaming service DC Universe on May 11 and air on Mondays while airing on CW on Tuesdays in an interesting broadcast-streaming arrangement.
